Looking Out The Window: Sara Foust Talks About Her New Book, Rarity Mountain

A Warm Welcome to Sara Foust

Sara shares one of her recipes for making the most out of leftovers and talks about one of her favorite Bible verses.

I love good food and I have a lot of favorite recipes, so it was hard to pick just one. I also really like experimenting with seasonings and leftovers and creating with what I have on hand. I cook a lot by smell rather than by measurement (weird, I know). Here is one I made up because I had leftover mashed potatoes and didn’t want to throw them away.

Left Over Mashed Potato Cakes

1 ½ cups mashed potatoes (I used unpeeled, red potatoes to make my mashed potatoes)

2 eggs

¼ cup bread crumbs

½ cup chopped fresh spinach

1 tbls chopped green onion

Dash All Season Salt

Dash pepper

2 tbls sour cream

¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Form into palm-sized patties and fry in oil.

Makes approx. 7-8 patties

Oh yum! Thank you!

A Bible Verse From Psalms

My favorite Bible verse tends to change with time and life’s circumstances, but one that has always been near and dear to my heart is Psalm 147:3-4, “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.” I love that God knows what I need whenever I am hurting, and I am humbled by the fact that He knows the name of each and every star, yet He takes the time to know me too. It is a comfort that God is present in my life each moment.

About Rarity Mountain

On the surface, SIMON FINCUFF and FERN STRONGBOW have nothing in common. Simon has served his sentence, but his past conviction still haunts him. Fern is a veterinarian and grew up on an off-the-grid homestead. The one thing they share? Each has a dark secret they would do almost anything to protect.

When their current careers are yanked away, they are left scrambling to pick up the pieces. A reality television show falls into their paths, offering a life-changing opportunity that tests their resolve and their faith.

These two unlikely partners must battle to survive for thirty days in the untouched wilderness of Rarity Mountain with only a handful of survival items and a director who is out for drama, no matter the cost. With their lives and their carefully guarded skeletons on the line, they will discover how far they are willing to go to win the million-dollar prize for Survival Tennessee.

Looking Out the Window: Memories on the Heart

Several weeks ago my husband, Rick, and I ate at a restaurant we frequent fairly regularly. The cute, young waitress who usually waits on us took our orders for burgers and fries. I’ll call her Mandy. As usual Mandy’s smile and bubbly personality brightened our day. We giggled and confessed to her that we shouldn’t eat the fries, but we were going to do it just this once. She joked. “Okay, you’re being bad today.” Not long after we got our food a couple came in and sat in the booth behind us. Mandy walked up to the table with her big grin. “Hi, how are you?” she asked. The man, who had salt and pepper colored hair and a pudgy face, spoke in a harsh tone, “I want the steak.” “Sure, which one would you like?” Mandy asked. “I don’t want you to put it in the microwave. That will make it tough. Do you understand?” Mandy’s lips turned down. “Yes sir, which one do you want to order?” “I want it medium rare. I don’t want blood oozing out of it. I want it cooked right.” “Yes sir, which steak di...

Looking out the Window: Carol Wilson James Talks about Her New Christmas Book, Christmas Lights and Moonlit Nights. Tells Us How to Make A Travelling Grilled Cheese Sandwich

A Warm Welcome to Carol Wilson James Hi Carol, I can't wait to hear about your new book and the sandwiches. Thanks for sharing with us. To receive a FREE short story sign up for Carol's newsletter The Traveling Grilled Cheese Because my dad was a career military officer, the longest we ever lived in one place was three years. And when the Air Force said “Move,” we moved. Sixty years ago, there weren’t fast food restaurants or grocery stores open twenty-four hours a day. So my mom had to figure out how to feed the family when nothing was open and she had no stove. Thus, she made "Ironed Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.” (To this day, my brother chooses these over a standard grilled cheese.) Ingredients Bread, cheese, butter, aluminum foil, and your iron. Heat your iron. Rub one side of a piece of foil with butter. Fold it in half, buttered sides together. Make a cheese sandwich. Insert your sandwich between the buttered sides of the foil (like a taco)...
