#17 Zacharias

****************************************************************************
ALERT!   Tomorrow's meat needs time to marinade.  You can prepare this meat today, marinade tonight and cook tomorrow or you can prepare first FIRST thing in the morning, marinade all day and cook tomorrow night.  I don't know that the meat can sit in the marinade too long, but you will want it to be in the marinade at least 8 hours. 

Here is the recipe for the Terriyaki for tomorrow.

2 lbs sirloin (you can use round steak but it is not as tender) steak strips marinated at least 8 hours ina ziploc bag...maybe double bagged to prevent leakage

1 cup sugar,

1 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup water

1 tsp ginger

1/2 tsp garlic powder

TOMORROW this will be threaded onto skewers (that have been soaked in water for maybe an hour before skewering) and grilled or broiled

 Zacharias

This is the first day of New Testament readings and characters that we do. This was, of course, following the 400 Years of Darkness, in which people had not been spoken to by God directly. Here is the meal that we eat to celebrate Zacharias and his part in the coming of the Messiah.

• Pigs in a blanket (to signify a baby) Little smokies wrapped in crescent roll dough and baked.


• Cheez Its in the scrabble version (to signify written letters since he was unable to speak).


• Some long thin pasta if you wanted, since they tied a rope around the priest's leg before he went into the Holy of Holies, in case he wasn't properly prepared to make the sacrifices and was killed. Optional...I have never done that, but just thought of it.


• Blue, Purple and Red Jello...or Jigglers (to signify the ephod, which was a fancy breastplace the priest wore).


• Laffy Taffy (to signify difficulty talking...also several colors) Or Now and Laters...or taffy

Here is the story...some of it will overlap with Elizabeth. Or listen to it here
