Laugh at the Days

Sarah Deason, Magy Griffin

We introduce how the idea of the podcast came about and the intended purpose for it. The name "Laugh at the Days" comes from Proverbs 31:25, "Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come". This is a perfect picture of how women should approach their homemaking.

When fully frozen, preheat your oven, place frozen cookies on parchment lines pans. •Right before going into the oven, spoon jam into the thumbprints. Do not over fill or the jam will bubble over the cookie. Bake at 400 for 10 min, then rotate pans & bake 8ish minutes more. Your thumbprints are finished baking when they are a deep golden brown and the jam is bubbling. Let them set a while before moving them to a cooling rack; the jam will be like lava for quite some time. https://www.heb.com/product-detail/8931002 Peach Lemonade Recipe: Simply mix up a regular batch of lemonade. Purée a couple of ripe peaches and add that to the lemonade and mix. Adjust the level of lemon juice and sugar after you’ve added the peach purée to your taste.
