We Love God!

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

For example, there is a special favor placed on the firstborn because of the excitement that surrounded your first child or the maturity she has as the oldest when compared to her siblings. There is a special favor placed on the youngest because he or she needs an advocate as the “baby” of the family. Gender can be a source of favoritism as dads can overly gravitate to their sons and moms to their daughters. Favoritism can also be developed when one child, like Esau, appeals to the interest of a parent – the dad who always wanted to be an athlete and is now living his dreams through his gifted son. Maybe it is the child who everybody loves or is highly successful in school and the parents show greater fondness toward her because of what she contributes to the family’s reputation and the parents’ esteem as to what they produced. The examples continue…

The supreme test of goodness is not in the greater but in the smaller incidents of our character and practice; not what we are when standing in the searchlight of public scrutiny, but when we reach the firelight flicker of our homes; not what we are when some clarion-call rings through the air, summoning us to fight for life and liberty, but our attitude when we are called to sentry-duty in the gray morning, when the watch-fire is burning low. It is impossible to be our best at the supreme moment if character is corroded and eaten into by daily inconsistency, unfaithfulness, and besetting sin.

Annanas Ka Mitha (pineapple Dessert)

January 27, 2023

CATEGORY	CUISINE	TAG	YIELD
Grains		Spice, The, Trail	4	Servings

INGREDIENTS

1		Ripe pineapple
1		5 cm piece cassia bark or
		cinnamon stick halved
150	g	Granulated sugar
1/2	t	Saffron strands, pounded
2 1/2		Seedless raisins
2	t	Ground arrowroot
15	g	Unsalted shelled pistachio
		nuts lightly crushed

INSTRUCTIONS

To peel and cut the pineapple, slice off the two ends and then cut the
pineapple lengthways, into eight boat-shaped pieces. Next, remove the
hard core from the centre of each piece. Remove the skin by peeling  it
from one end to the other with a sharp knife, using a sawing  action.
Make sure all the eyes are removed, then cut each piece into  5cm
pieces.  Bring 600ml water to the boil in a karahi (Balti pan) or
saucepan and  add the pineapple and cassia or cinnamon. Bring back to
the boil,  cover the karahi with a lid or piece of foil and cook over
medium  heat for 12-15 minutes, until the pineapple is soft, but not
mushy.  Remove the pineapple with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Discard the  cassia or cinnamon.  Add the sugar to the cooking water
and let it boil for 8-10 minutes,  then add the pounded saffron,
raisins and cooked pineapple. Cook for  4-5 minutes.  Blend the
arrowroot with a little cold water and stir this into the  bubbling
sugar syrup. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Transfer to a  serving dish
and allow to cool completely, then chill in the  refrigerator. Serve
chilled, scattered with the pistachio nuts.  Variation:  Use firm
unripe pears or dessert apples instead of pineapple. Adjust  the
quantity of sugar to suit your taste.  DISCLAIMERÂ© Copyright 1996 -
