Bread magnifies Christ in two ways: by being eaten with gratitude for His goodness, and by being forfeited out of hunger for God Himself. When we eat, we taste the emblem of our heavenly food – the Bread of Life. And when we fast we say, “I love the Reality above the emblem.” In the heart of the saint both eating and fasting are worship. Both magnify Christ. Both send the heart – grateful and yearning – to the Giver. Each has its appointed place and each has its danger. The danger of eating is that we fall in love with the gift; the danger of fasting is that we belittle the gift and glory in our will-power.

INGREDIENTS

3	lb	Pork
		Water
1	qt	Sauerkraut
		Salt & pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Wipe piece of pork with a damp cloth, place in large stewing pan and cover
with cold water. Set over flame to cook slowly for one hour. Add the
sauerkraut and more water if necessary and continue cooking for another
hour or until meat has become thoroughly tender. Season with salt and
pepper. Serve with mashed potatoes. My notes: This is basically the same
way my mom and I prepare sauerkraut and spareribs, but we add a chopped
onion.  My mom also used to add some chopped apple to cut down on the
"sourness".  This is a really simple and delicious meal, if you like
sauerkraut. One of my favorites! Source: Pennsylvania Dutch Cook Book -
