We Love God!

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

The only way you can get pleasure, sexual or any other kind, is to get it as a by-product of pursing something else – like the true good of another person. So: Do you want true and lasting pleasure? Then you have to stop chasing pleasure. Start pursuing love.
J. Budziszewski

Jesus indicates that the way to think about self-denial is to deny yourself only a lesser good for a greater good… In other words, Jesus wants us to think about sacrifice in a way that rules our all self-pity. This is, in fact, just what the texts on self-denial teach (Mk. 8:34-35)… Saint Augustine captured the paradox in these words, “If you love your soul, there is a danger of its being destroyed. Therefore you may not love it, since you do not want it to be destroyed. But in not wanting it to be destroyed you love it.”
John Piper

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
November 19 1 Servings

INGREDIENTS

3 lb Fresh porcini, also known
as
cepes or 3 lb
other exotic
mushrooms and 2 oz
large dried porcini
slices
2 Onions, cut into
1/2-inch-thick
wedges
6 Garlic cloves, minced
3 T Chopped fresh thyme
1/2 c Dry Marsala wine
4 T Extra-virgin olive oil
1 t Salt
1 lb Assorted pearl onions
blanched and peeled
2 c Red-wine reduction

INSTRUCTIONS

If using dried porcini, soak in boiling-hot water to cover until soft,
about 45 minutes. Lift out porcini, squeezing out excess liquid, and
discard soaking liquid. Rinse in a sieve to remove any grit and pat
dry. Halve larger slices.  Preheat oven to 375F.  If using fresh
porcini, halve or quarter larger ones, keeping smaller  ones whole, and
transfer all to a baking pan. Toss all mushrooms with  onion wedges,
garlic, thyme, wine, 3 tablespoons oil, salt, and  pepper to taste.
Toss pearl onions with remaining tablespoon oil and  salt and pepper to
taste in a shallow baking pan.  Roast mushroom mixture, covered with
foil, in upper third of oven and  pearl onions, uncovered, in lower
third, stirring occasionally and  switching position of pans halfway
through roasting, until pearl  onions are tender and golden brown,
about 45 minutes total. Remove  pearl onions from oven.  Uncover
mushroom mixture and stir in 1/2 cup red-wine reduction.  Continue
roasting mixture in middle of oven, uncovered, stirring  occasionally,
until vegetables are tender and liquid is reduced by  half, about 30
minutes. Stir in pearl onions and roast until hot,  about 10 minutes
more. Heat remaining red-wine reduction.  Season mushrooms and onions
with salt and pepper. Drizzle with some  red-wine reduction and serve
the rest on the side.  Cooks' note:  Mushrooms and onions may be
roasted 1 day ahead, cooled completely,  and chilled, covered. Reheat
before serving.  Makes 8 to 10 servings (as a main course).  Gourmet
