I heard him come: Second verse w/ bridge

On sunday Michelle and I stayed after church to mess around on the grand piano.
I’ve noticed that with my other music offerings, the dog is often barking, boys making noise, phone ringing, etc… Our dog Sammy is actually quiet most of the day, and never barks at night unless he can hear someone outside. But it just feels like any time I turn on the video camera, he starts barking. Guess he wants to be heard on the internet.
Shelly and I made six or seven music videos to share on my blog over the next few months. I thought I’d put this one up first. It is the second verse of I heard him come, sans laughter, and includes the end of the song. Shell stopped playing at the end so I just finished it up acapella.
She is really coming along on the piano, but it is a difficult piece to accompany. I hope to include a version of this song that she plays perfectly in the near future. But as I said in this post, it is a very challenging piece of music.
Funny thing is, she can play it perfectly when I am not singing.
I enjoyed singing without all of our home distractions. Much easier to keep focused!
Here is the clip. If you would like to purchase Jeff Goodrich’s CD containing this song go here

Whole Wheat Apple Pie with no refined sugar

How to make the crust:
3 cups Fresh Ground (FG) Whole Organic Red Wheat
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 C Olive Oil
1/2 C Water


Preparing the Pie Plates for cooking:

If you would like to see the pie crust in the plates before I added the apples go to this entry on Whole Wheat Sugar Cookies to see a visual. I did not have enough dough to fill up the second pie plate, so next time we make this recipe, I will probably just do one pie and put a double crust with some on the bottom and some laced on top.
The next video clip is of the spices being ground. The recipe for the apple mixture is:
3 lbs of Organic Granny Smith apples peeled and sliced
juice of one lemon
2 C Agave Sweetner
1 tsp sea salt
4 Cardamon Pods (just the seeds)
8 Whole Cloves
1 Cinnamon Stick
1 TBS Whole Flax
1 TBS Whole Fennel
1/2 of a nutmeg fresh ground with a nutmeg grater
I’m not sure why the sound on this video clip did not register, but here is the picture. I used the mortar and pestal to get the cardamon seeds out of the pods and threw them into my electric spice mill with the rest of the spices and seeds.
After fresh grinding the spices and juicing the lemon, I threw all of the ingredients in with the apples and mixed them well.

I poured the apple and spice mix into the pie crusts, which I had prebaked for twenty minutes, and then baked them at 350 for about 40 minutes. Here is a clip of the finished pies:

Truth be known only Paul and I ate the pie. The children all chowed down on the other desserts we made that night and would not even try the pies. But I enjoyed eating it for several days, and one morning had a breakfast of pie and some herbal tea. It was yummy. The spices help preserve the pie, and it actually tasted better after it had sat for a couple days in our covered cake plate.

Halleluia, Halleluia: Messiah Performance

Messiah%20%235.jpg
Last Saturday I performed the Messiah for the first time in my life with the Colorado Repertory Singers. Paul was going to perform as well as a tenor, but he had to work at the last minute. I missed sharing that experience with him, but we are doing a sing along next saturday and he plans to participate. It should be a fun experience.
