Ep 72 Surprised by Joy with Michele Morin

Author, blogger, Bible teacher, Michele Morin was surprised by joy--never in a million years did she think she would live in rural Maine, raise four boys, and mow lawns with her husband of over 30 years. She likes to think the Bible isn't an Answer book so much as an Asking the Right Questions book.

Michele won't care if her grandkids and their grandkids forget her name, but she does work at making sure they don't forget two very important things. Listen today and be encouraged to write your story, a story with a good ending. (I do love a good ending.) She also makes amazing pizza for her family and all those boys (and girls) that her boys bring home. Michele in writing a book on raising boys, and I hope it includes hearty and generously portioned recipes.

Michele Morin is a teacher, reader, writer, and gardener who does life with her family on a country hill in Maine. She has been married to an unreasonably patient husband for 30 years, and together they have four sons, two daughters-in-love, and three adorable grandchildren. Michele is active in educational ministries with her local church and delights in sitting at a table surrounded by women with open Bibles. Recently, she's become a regular blog contributor for The Joyful Life Magazine on the topic of raising boys!
 
 
Two recipes from Michele:
 
She writes: The last time I had last-minute guests, I whipped up some soft pretzels and lemonade, so here's the recipe I use for the pretzels. 
 
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/8 cup warm water
Dissolve yeast in the water in a large bowl.
Stir in:
1 1/3 cups warm water
1/3 cup brown sugar
5 cups flour
Beat until combined and then knead until smooth.
Heat oven to 475 degrees.
 
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, dissolve 5 T baking soda into 3-4 quarts of water and bring to a boil. 
Twist pretzels, then place in boiling water for 10 seconds (they will float to the top). Remove with slotted spoon and place (not touching each other) on a well-greased baking pan. Salt top of pretzels with coarse salt. 
Place in oven and bake for 8 minutes until golden brown.
We always serve them with lemonade.
 
And it occurs to me that our conversation may turn to the topic of pizza (since it usually does), so here's the link to my pizza recipe:  https://michelemorin.net/2018/08/09/big-pizza-love-recipe/
