The Ukok News Feed- Dried Fruit Chutney Recipe/Christmas Chutney RecipeI’m no domestic goddess but I certainly feel like the culinary queen of my own little kitchen when I follow a recipe and it actually works without my messing it up! I was thrilled, yes, thrilled i tell you, when I achieved success using Delia’s recipe for Christmas Chutney/Dried Fruit Chutney. This chutney can, of course, be [...]
- And now for something completely different…Tis (almost) the season to be jolly…ho ho OOOOOOOOOOOO. Anyway, you know i like to cook? You do know that by now don’t you? Well I have got in to preserving (and persevering!) in a BIG way in the last couple of months. I’m going to post about my most recent culinary endeavour first as it is highly seasonal [...]
- Did my absence make your heart grow fonder……i doubt it. Having returned once more to blogging this very day, I have discovered that during my cyber absence, some people chose to bump me off their blogrolls/google readers etc. Had i not such thick skin (actually i’m pretty thick everywhere but we won’t go into that!) I may have been hurt, but I have more [...]

- Day Trip to London (with Videos!)As mentioned in the previous post, Wondergirl turned 18 years old yesterday. To celebrate, Mum and Dad paid for us to go to London for a day trip on the Saturday before her birthday. We got up really early on Saturday morning, caught the train to London and spent the whole day there, not getting [...]
- Wondergirl comes of age…I am now the proud mother of an adult daughter…because Wondergirl turned 18 (Monday) today! To celebrate, my parents paid for us to travel to London for a day trip – in the next post i will include the pictures from our London trip and try to upload a couple of short videos we took while [...]
- Out of the DepthsI’ve been experiencing the extreme version of life’s big dipper ride of late…it seems that I get stuck on the ‘lows’ rather too frequently for comfort and the highs are far too fleeting for me to grasp on to for any length of time. In other words…. life has sucked big time lately. I can’t seem to [...]

- Perfectly Easy Peasy ‘Scone Base’ Pizza – Simple LivingFor this cooking extravaganza i’m using my mum’s pizza scone base recipe. The name could sound a bit off-putting but it doesn’t taste at all like scones, the omission being the eggs and sugar and dried fruits which are replaced in the recipe by grated/shredded cheese and dried herbs. I recommend this as a quick and filling [...]

Dear Ukok, I love to read your posts when they explore the spiritual walk of life, on the other hand, as I am not a Catholic, the Catholic #1 mentality writings only cause me not to come back for a while. I still explore your site occassionally because the bible verses, struggles and triumphs that you share are your greatest inspirations for those of us who read such things. They encourage me so much. I hope you keep writing more of these!
Amen.
Searching,
I appreciate the honesty of your comment. The reason that I sometimes post Catholic faith-defence style posts is because I am provoked by individuals, or requested/prompted via email, to do so. For example; Elmantheman is currently telling me in the comments box that I belong to a church that is a whore.
What do I do? do I ignore him and delete his 4 or 5 anti-catholic comments (in a row!) or do I seek to respond to him?
On the one hand there is scripture telling us to give an explanation of what we believe (1 Peter 3:15-16)….on the other hand, isn’t apologetics served best on catholic.com or over at Jimmy Akin’s blog or Dave Armstrong’s Blog? That’s the business they’re in. I’m just a mum and parish secretary with a little bit of free time to go online each day…and truth be told, even that time would be better served elsewhere for the most part.
I conclude that there will indeed be more posts of this type that I hope will prove spiritually uplifting to all who visit, but I can’t ignore ignorance about Catholicism when it embraces hatred. For the most part, people who raise objections to Catholic Teaching/practices are just poorly catechised or have no proper understanding of Catholicism. But every now and then there is vileness that seeps into the comments box or my email inbox, and I believe if not corrected, then by silence it can be perceived to be condoned.
God Bless you!
You have that very right, UKOK…we need to stand up for comments that are wrong about our Catholic Faith.
I love the quote with the picture, so PEACE BE UNTO YOU across the pond! God bless! :)
Deb, what a beautiful picture and quote. Amen. As to Searching’s comments about “Catholic #1 comments” I assume he is referring to the Catholic belief that the original church of Jesus contains the fullness of the faith. Naturally your posts would sometimes reflect such a belief, as everyone’s blogs reflect their beliefs. I don’t understand why Protestants are sometimes offended by that. Don’t they believe that their denomination contains the fullness of the faith. Don’t we each choose our beliefs on the basis of where we believe the truth lies?
Suzanne, peace be unto you my dear!!! You always put a smile right on my face y’know :-)
Rosemary,
I’m so glad you like the photo, it’s one of my favourites and rather a fluke that it turned out so well!
Great comment about the One True Church posting and other faith defence posts.
:thumbsup:
What a treasure! I can’t wait to come back and explore. I’ve recently begun the conversion to RC. I’m so excited to come back for a visit!
Beautiful Deb!
Jenny,
Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to getting to know you better and to learning about your journey to Catholicism.
Esther,
I’m so glad you like it!
