<br />
Clare <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">di</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Faverone</span> was born into Nobility to a family of the town of Assisi. She was educated accordingly.<br />
Assisi was known for its fine embroidery and, as part of her education, Clare would have learned how to demonstrate the most intricate patterns and stitches of that time.<br />
<br />
Clare met Francis <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">di</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Bernadone</span> (Saint Francis of Assisi) and became a follower of his teachings. At eighteen, she discarded the privileges of her birthright to live the cloistered life of a nun.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Many years later, Clare became ill, and she spent the next 30 years as an invalid. In spite of her illness, she tried to be of service in whatever way she could. She turned to needlework. Accounts from that time tell that Clare was never idle, even in illness, and had herself propped up in bed so that she could stitch.<br />
<br />
It is known that Clare spun flax into thread, and after the linen was woven, she made altar linens for many of the churches around Assisi.<br />

I've been at my mom's for almost 6 weeks. I just came home today.<br />
<br />
I fell off of a curb, couldn't catch myself, and landed on my right side. It broke my upper arm -- the humerus -- about 2 inches below the shoulder joint. It was a clean break, so didn't require surgery. <br />
<br />
It couldn't be cast, however, so I'm in a sling.<br />
<br />
To the lovely ladies that won my birthday giveaway, I have not forgotten. I WILL get them out by Saturday.<br />

And we were off to the ER...</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It's either an ulcer (most likely) or an attack of pancreatitis (less likely).</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">He's on a bland diet for a few days.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We just got home and he's soaking in the tub -- then to bed for him.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I do know that posting about Michelle's fund may have put off some people, but I'm her Mother and I must do whatever I can do to help her. </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Your Prayers are the biggest blessing we can receive. The money will come or it won't, but your Prayers are much more important and we thank you for them. </span><br />

This is my eldest daughter, Michelle, and her family. She has had two cancer scares and two surgeries in the last month.<br />
Her family is hard-working, but medical expenses have taken their toll.
I know that you will help if you can, and I appreciate this more than you know.<br />
If you cannot help financially, may I please ask for your prayers.<br />
<br />
Thank you so very much!

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is my younger sister's version of <i>Confederate Pot Roast! </i> Just a bit different from my own. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Bottom Round Roast (approx. 3 pounds)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Red Potatoes (whole as these are small)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Baby Carrots</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Onion (White or Spanish)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Beef Consomme</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Garlic -- cloves added to taste (she used 5 cloves, diced) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Salt & Pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>DIRECTIONS:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lightly sear the roast on all sides. Place roast in a large (at least 10 X 10 pan) that has been lined with aluminum foil. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Arrange the vegetables around the roast. Salt & Pepper as desired and pour 1 cup consomme over the ingredients. Cover with foil and bake at 350 F for one hour. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Turn oven down to 325 F. Remove from oven, turn roast over, mix up the veggies and pour rest of consomme over the ingredients. Cover. Bake about 1 1/2 hours on 325 F. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Serve with sides of your choice. Down in South Georgia, we serve it with Mac & Cheese, green beans, collards, etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My own recipe is similar but there are a few differences.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Terri's Confederate Pot Roast</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">3 to 4 pound Rump Roast</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Vidalia Sweet Onion (Cut into medium-sized chunks)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2 Large Carrots (peeled and washed), diced</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1 Turnip or parsnip*** (Diced)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mushrooms (if you like) -- cleaned and sliced.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Small Red & White Potatoes, cut into halves. (Depends on size of your Dutch Oven or Crockpot).</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">8 cloves of garlic, cut into slivers.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rosemary -- 2 teaspoons dried or 2 sprigs </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thyme -- 1 teaspoon dried or 1 sprig</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sage -- 1/4 teaspoon (NO MORE!)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Celery Salt -- 1/2 teaspoon</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Salt -- 1/2 teaspoon</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Fresh Ground Black Pepper -- 1 teaspoon</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Bay Leaf -- one whole (Remove BEFORE serving).</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Beef Bone Broth -- 1 1/2 cups</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In Dutch Oven or Crockpot, add 1 1/2 cups of bone broth. Set to HIGH for crockpot or 375 F for Oven Roasting. Cover.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In a sauce pan, a</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">dd 1 tablespoon butter, </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">place diced carrots, turnip / parsnip, and onions in pan and cook until soft and tender.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Add the above ingredients to the bone broth. Add potatoes. As you prep the beef, allow the sliced mushrooms to cook in the sauce pan where the veggies cooked. The mushrooms need at least 10 minutes in the sauce pan on medium high heat.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">While the mushrooms cook, score the beef with a sharp knife and insert slivers of the garlic. Do this on the bottom and top of the roast.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Combine Rosemary, </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thyme, </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sage, </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Celery Salt, </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Salt, and </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Black Pepper in a small bowl and combine. Rub mixture into roast, covering as much as possible.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Remove mushrooms from sauce pan and add to roaster. Place the bay leaf in as well, Stir well to combine the veggies, then gently place roast (FAT SIDE UP)*** on top of the vegetables. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">*** If you use a parsnip, cut the top and bottom off, peel, and rinse well. Cook in boiling salted water for 5 (Five) minutes before dicing.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">***Always put the roast FAT side up. The fat will melt into the roast and make a juicier meat.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Using a cover (aluminum foil or lid) is best for a tender roast. 375 F for one hour and then 325 F for 1 1/2 hours. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For the Crockpot: Set to HIGH and cook for two hours. Turn to LOW and allow to slow cook for at least 4 hours.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A little pink is a good thing. If you prefer your roast medium, check after an hour or so and adjust temps and time accordingly.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is me and Beth on my Wedding Day. We were laughing because I'd taken my shoes off. God Bless her... she tried to teach me knit. She finally took the needles from me, handed back my crochet hook, and made me promise NEVER to try to knit again. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I miss her.</span><br />
