A LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE FOR ENTERTAINING


Editors Note...

It’s beginning to look alot like Spring! You thought I was going to say Christmas? Now we can gently kiss winter goodbye as we witness fresh blooming trees, brighter lawns and early signs of daffodils. Even though we might have a few cool days and nights it only helps awaken spring bulbs to burst forth from their sleepy beds. As the saying goes, April showers bring May flowers with the hope of the sun breaking through the rainy moments. There is always great hope with new beginnings and this season brings both, hope and new beginnings. With this great awakening from the past slumberous days, we find ourselves getting ready for an early Passover and Easter celebration. A sure sign of promise for eternity. In this issue, there is a Mother’s Day tea with madeleines, scones & lemon cookies. Sure to make mom feel special, while tulips bloom before your eyes on a pretty table setting. I have a few ideas for these wonderful holidays & happenings of Spring; to entertain with ease and ways to abandon entertaining joy busters. Take it all in, page by page, blooms by blooms this issue will be one to Spring into.

Sowing Seeds...Reaps Harvest I’m looking out my office window at the garden spots in our field already being prepared for spring planting. It’s exciting to envision the tomatoes, green beans and peaches-and-cream corn that will pop up through the ground later this summer. My imagination sees the yummy bounty that’s not yet there. My husband is the gardener around our house. He researches the best ways to grow crops, what type of fertilizer to use, how to prepare the soil beforehand for a great harvest later. Anticipation builds with each step along the gardening journey. Every row the plow cuts through the earth turns up fresh fertile dirt the plants will call home before they’re mature and ready to eat. Note: vegetables eaten fresh from the vine will make your tastebuds dance for joy! Before a vegetable can grow, or a leaf pushes up through the dirt, something important must happen. In fact, nothing will grow if this step is left out. You can prepare the land, get the soil ready and you will wait from now on with no results —unless you plant the seed. The gardener must include that most important step in the process. Planting a garden is exciting. I love the pretty colored packets of seeds displayed in stores this time of year. Seed catalogs start arriving in mailboxes before it’s officially Spring. But if I set my seed packets on the shelf at home to admire their pretty colors and never do anything with them, I’ll get a big ol nothing out of my garden. I can hold back some of the seed for fear that I’ll run out, but the results won’t be what I want. I’ll get a small harvest. God’s Word says the same thing about our financial giving. He calls it sowing. In the same way a natural garden only grows from seeds sown into the ground, our spiritual harvest increases or decreases depending on how we sow into His kingdom. This is not based on the amount we give. God is interested in our attitude toward giving, as 2 Corinthians, 9:7 says: Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, “prompt to do it”) giver [whose heart is in his giving]. All About the Table Magazine-2024- Spring-07


It’s Not Hard to Sow

There are many ways in which to give.

A very familiar way we sow is by giving tithes and offerings at church. That’s important because it helps keep our churches running. Maybe you would also like to give beyond your local church. It’s not hard to do. Create your own giving ministry to reach people out in the world where you shop and eat every day. Think about that server working hard to bring your lunch and make sure you have a great dining experience. There’s a good chance they could use a few extra dollars above the normal tip amount. Perhaps your child’s teacher would enjoy a gift card to their favorite store. Little things do mean a lot. A gesture of generosity, no matter how small it seems can make a huge difference in someone’s life. It also pleases God when we follow His command to give generously. He knows that lifestyle will benefit both the recipient and the giver. We are never more like God than when we give generously. [Remember] this: he who sows sparingly and grudgingly will also reap sparingly and grudgingly, and he who sows generously [that blessings may come to someone] will also reap generously and with blessings. 2 Corinthians 9:6

Pray with me, Dear Lord, Thank you for the beauty of new seasons. Each one offers its own special gifts, but I especially look forward to Spring and the new life you gift us with each year. Help us to sow generously so that someone will be blessed. Thank you for your promise that if we sow generously we will reap generously with your blessings.

Swiss Almond Vertical Stripe Cake Create this lovely almond flavored vertical cake with upright layers for your next Spring soiree.Light sponge jelly roll cakes in graduated hot pink to white colors makes the inside vertical layers something to rave about! Almond Buttercream between the layers provide weight to the vertical cake layer lines while Swiss Meringue Buttercream covers the outside of the cake. It is not only pretty to look at... it tastes wonderful. Vertical cakes are all the rage and this one will not disappoint.The cake slices perfectly after a good chill. Once rolled the cake is a 9" round x 5" tall cake. The cake recipe is made with 5 to 6- 10"x 15" x 1" jelly roll sponge cakes, baked in gradated shades of hot pink to white and after baking rolled in a tea towel sprinkled with confectioners sugar. Once cake is cooled each cake is unrolled, and cut down the center of the cakes beginning to cut on the narrow end of cake making halved cakes 15" x 5". You can make a smaller vertical cake using 3-4 jelly roll cakes to make the cake 6-7" round. Note: sponge jelly roll cakes takes 12-15 minutes to bake. So that is great news! You can boast that you made 6 cakes in one day! Buttercream frosting is spread evenly over each 5" wide cake and rolled strip by strip to create one large jelly roll round. Wrap and freeze cake until solid, then you can frost with Swiss Meringue Buttercream & decorate with candy melt tulips. See tulip and cake recipe at lizbushong.com. This is a special occasion kind-of-a-cake, it is made in steps between big chills in the freezer. Cake can be baked, frosted and frozen by the slice or halved. Cake is best served in small slices as their is a lot of frosting. But who doesn’t love frosting? All About the Table Magazine-2024- Spring-19
