I just love this show. I followed the whole season via the web. This is the only show that brought me to tears. I never heard such wonderful talent in one place.
I love this year's winner. Y'anna Crawley stole my heart from day one and never returned it. I was so happy to hear that she won. Her single from her upcoming CD is a winner too. I can't actually wait to it hit the stores self or the MP3 sites ie: Amazon, I-tunes, Musicmatch so I can get my praise on.
But why should wait. Take a listen to what I mean.

May, May

May, May go away! I know the Rhyme goes a little differently, but it works for me. May has been a horrid month. It started with a financial setback. someone stole my cell phone. I had to turn off my service which caused another setback. I washed my Itouch in my washing machine by accidentally leaving in my pockets. My phone was returned after the serviced was discontinued. I then missed a live taping of the show. There was nothing but static for an hour. This depressed me causing me to miss my other job, causing a loss in pay that put me further in debt.
I'll say it again. May May Go Away!!!! comeback next year with a better outcome.
All this is making way for what Christ has in store for me. I have no doubt that I'm truly blessed. Most don't have those thing i called myself fretting over. Most don't have a venue where they can praise the Lord with all their might.
I shall rise. The Lord has a plan for my life and song i must play. So as the record spins know this I know Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so

Mayday

Boy oh boy, what do we have here! Saturday 16Th 2009 Mega E Gospel Cafe didn't air live. It didn't air at all. Mayday, which I am now calling it, came about as a misunderstanding mainly on my behalf.
The producer had another gig in California, that he informed me of two weeks in advance. He even went as far as to set up arrangement on how and when i should arrived for our regular scheduled show. All his hard work and plans went out the window Saturday 16Th, 2009 because I was not at the right place at the right time.
I was at my regular spot waiting for my regular routine to happen. When I realized that it won't going to happen,like it usually does it was too late to make alternate plans. I suddenly remember the conversation with the producer and his stern words "Don't Forget".


I apologize to our listener that expected another great show and received nothing but dead air.
Thank you for your continued support of our show.

Sunday's Best

I love Sundays Best. I don't get a chance to watch the show live I have to do a recap via the Internet. It is the only show that constantly bring me to tears. This season seemed rushed to me. They zipped through the contestants this year. I heard the most wonderful voices in any genre and I wanted the show to pan out like its role Idol. I really love the two finalist. I don't care which one win because they both deserve it. I really believe they should have co-winners. Jessica Reddy voice melts around lyrics with a soulful jazzy tone. Y'anna Crawford strong voice commands the lyric to been ans stretch at will. I can't wait to stand in line to buy their Cd's when they hit the stores. The finale is Mother's Day. Check your local listing for BET'S Sundays Best.

Donald Lawrence has solidified his place in contemporary Gospel history as one of the most prolific songwriters and producers of our time. Lawrence is now poised to release, arguably, his most compelling and ground-breaking recording, to date: The Law of Confession Part I. Drenched in biblical principles, and inspired by a life-changing series taught by Lawrence's pastor, Bill Winston of Chicago's Living Word Christian Center, The Law of Confession Part I has all the elements to spark a movement and to cause a great shift in the thinking and daily practices of believers. The Law of Confession Part I is rife with passion, power and truth, and is certain to inspire a mighty movement. Gospel Cafe is already spinning two cuts from the great CD.

This week recipe comes from the website Cook.com

MICHIGAN SECRET POT ROAST

1 large pot roast (approx 4-5 lbs)
1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup
Mix salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder to taste beef bouillon powder (optional)

Sprinkle pot roast with seasonings and beef boullion if you have some available.
Open envelope and pour entire onion soup mix into the center of two long sheets (double thickness) of aluminum foil wrap. Roll the beef in the soup mix to coat. Wrap tightly with the foil, sealing well. Place package in a large open roaster in oven and set on low heat (275-300 degrees F) for 4-5 hours. If meat is frozen when you start, set oven to 225-250 degrees F for 8-10 hours instead.
During the last hour or so of cooking, add foil-wrapped potatoes to the pan for a side dish. Scrub potatoes well, rub with olive oil and wrap in foil. During last 10 minutes of cooking, unwrap top of potato, make a large X with knife, squeeze potato to soften and drop in butter or cheese to melt. Cook 10 more minutes under broiler. Season with salt and pepper and top with gravy from roast.
Serve.
This is an easy to prepare meal for those days when you're busy elsewhere than the kitchen as it takes very little preparation and basically cooks itself. An added bonus is that the cleanup is easy - everything is cooked in foil!
You can also make this in a Slow cooker (or even in your barbecue or smoker if you plan to have it going most of the day.)

I found new a guilty pleasure. I was scanning the tv looking for something to watch. I ran across Sunday Best. BET ran a Sunday Best marathon and i watch the shows in an one day time span. The funny thing was I sat throughout eight shows and didn't get to see the grand finale.

This season which began a couple of weeks ago has raised the bar as far as talent goes. I don't catch it on it's original air date, I watch it via Internet. It's good thing for me, because I can watch my favorite performance over again and there are many. If you like good music and you have this Jones for reality shows this is the right show for. Sundays Best is reminiscent of another singing competition on the Fox Network. This show, however, has heart and appeal the soul of music. Kirk Franklin is at his best. The judges BeBe Winans and Mary,Mary are knowledgeable and forthcoming. This competition is about the music not pretty faces.

Look for, it airs on the Bet Network. Check your cable listings for air dates and times. Listen to Gospel Cafe for highlights and my take on the show.

Pork chops and potatoes don't have to take a lot of time! You'll enjoy this meal in minutes!



Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
4 thick-cut (about an inch), bone-in, pork chops
Salt and pepper
4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, each cut into 6 wedges
1 large red onion, peeled, root end trimmed but left intact, halved through the root, then each half cut into 6 wedges through the root (to help hold them together)
2 Gala, Honeycrisp or Golden Delicious apples, cored and cut into 8 wedges
5 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup cloudy apple cider (eyeball it)
2 cups chicken stock (eyeball it)
3 tablespoons real maple syrup or brown sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Crusty bread, to serve alongside for mopping up sauce

Preparation
Place a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat with two turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. While the EVOO is heating up, season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Add the chops to the pot and brown on all sides. Remove the chops and reserve, loosely covered with foil.
Add the potatoes to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Add the onions to the pan and cook until golden brown, 4-5 minutes.Add the apples, thyme sprigs, apple cider, chicken stock and maple syrup to the pot and bring up to a bubble.
Nestle the browned pork chops back into the pot, tucking them in amongst the onions and potatoes. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and let simmer until the chops are cooked through and the potatoes are tender, 10-15 minutes.
Fish out the thyme stems and discard. Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the pot and give everything a quick stir.
Serve the pork chops topped with the veggies and pan sauce with plenty of crusty bread and a salad alongside.

Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 8 pieces and lightly pounded
Coarse salt and cracked black pepper
2 egg whites, beaten
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest (I use a rasp)
1 cup all-purpose flour, for dusting
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges
Directions
Season chicken generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Place egg whites in a shallow dish or plate. Whisk in cheese, parsley, and lemon zest. Dredge each chicken piece through the egg mixture, shaking off excess, and set in flour. Shake the plate so chicken pieces get coated, turn chicken over and repeat. Shake off all of the excess flour. Lay on a cookie sheet lined with parchment and set next to stove.
Heat oil in a 12-inch non-stick pan over medium high heat. When hot but not smoking, add chicken and cook, turning once, until golden and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Serve with lemon wedges.
