God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Women, too, need to remember the appropriate level of commitment and intimacy on a first date. Guard your heart and your expectations. Do not enter into a first date dreaming about marriage or trying out his last name with your first name; be emotionally prepared for it not to work out. One of the reasons the Christian man may be uneasy about dating is that the risk is too high among many other believers. If he doesn’t end up marrying her, his name will be mud with all the other women at church! Such a man fears to date lest he be forced to leave a church he loves. This kind of situation is unreasonable and unfair; the woman can help by keeping expectations in check and allowing the man to interact with her without easily breaking her heart. But insist that he treat you with respect and care, and do the same to him in return. Like the man, you should resolve that time he spends in your company will have been to his spiritual blessing and will have been pleasing to the Lord. If you don’t want to go out again, be honest. But don’t tell your friends about the things you found unattractive; protect his reputation and cover his flaws in love (Richard and Sharon Phillips).

INGREDIENTS

2 lg Ripe plantains; (up to 3)
1/4 ts Nutmeg or allspice or cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

B: Jay Solomon, THE GLOBAL VEGETARIAN
Preheat oven to 400F. Cut off the tips of the plantains. Place the
plantains, skin and on, on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes,
until the skin is charred and puffy.
Take the plantains out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice
the plantains down the center lengthwise and peel back the skin. Cut the
plantains in half widthwise, sprinkle with nutmeg and transfer to serving
plates.
TIP: To ripen green plantains, set them out at room temperature for 5 to 7
days. Storing them in a paper bag will speed up the process. Do not
refrigerate.
