The dinner consists of:
- Porcupine meatballs for the 5 smooth stones (I leave out the salt and poultry seasoning)
- rice for the sandy dirt where David got the stones
- biscuits, rolled out to about twice their size, dipped in melted butter and then dredged in Parmesan cheese for shields (like the one King Saul gave to David to wear) baked about 7 minutes, I think at 350(keep an eye on them)
- asparagus for a spear
- Rold Gold pretzels...the cheese ones...for praying hands
(2011 addition...in the spirit of full disclosure, I know we are not going to eat this this year. We have a field trip, then basketball practice and a Christmas recital. We aren't even going home all day. So...the dinner will be hamburger (shield) french fries (spear) and apple dippers that may get cut to be stones...bringing the dessert to eat in the car and the veggie tale to watch in the car. Love to have the real advent meal, but sometimes it's just not possible. Next year:-))
For the dessert (and remember some are better than others...) we are using
- Pepperidge Farm gingerbread men for Goliath
- Gummy Bears for David, the Philistines, the Israelites or whoever you want...
- and m&ms for the stones...
The story of David and Goliath can be found here. Or if you have it, you could watch VeggieTales Dave and the Giant Pickle.We made a little sling (rubber band) with a stone a few years back for our ornament. You could just use 5 stones...whatever would represent the story to your family. (2011 addition or listen to it here www.bible.is/ENGESV/1Sam/17 )
