Sweet And Sour Lamb Chops

Our Lord’s idea of repentance is as profound and comprehensive as His conception of righteousness. Of the three words that are used in the Greek Gospels to describe the process, one emphasizes the emotional element of regret, sorrow over the past evil course of life, metamelomai; Matt. 12:29-32; a second expresses reversal of the entire mental attitude, metanoeo, Matt. 12:41, Luke 11:32; 15:7, 10; the third denotes a change in the direction of life, one goal being substituted for another, epistrephomai; Matt. 13:15 (and parallels); Luke 17;4, 22:32. Repentance is not limited to any single faculty of the mind: it engages the entire man, intellect, will and affections… Again, in the new life which follows repentance the absolute supremacy of God is the controlling principle. He who repents turns away from the service of mammon and self to the service of God.

2	T	Butter or margarine
2	lb	Shoulder lamb chops

2		Carrots, peeled and

1		Green pepper, cut into

INSTRUCTIONS

I. Melt butter in a heat-resistant, non-metallic broiler-proof  skillet
on a conventional surface unit. When butter is hot, sear lamb  chops on
both sides until lightly browned. Sprinkle with salt and  pepper to
taste. Or use the "browner" for 4 to 5 minutes per side. 2.  While the
chops are browning, drain pineapple juice into a small  heat-resistant,
non-metallic bowl. Reserve pineapple chunks; add  brown sugar, vinegar,
cornstarch and brown bouquet sauce to pineapple  juice. Stir to
combine. 3. Heat pineapple juice mixture, uncovered, 2  minutes in
Micro- wave Oven or until thickened and clear. 4. Pour  thickened sauce
over browned lamb chops. 5. Add carrot slices and  heat, covered, 5
minutes in Microwave Oven. Add pineapple chunks and  heat, covered, 2
1/2 minutes in Microwave Oven. Add green pepper  squares and heat, un-
covered, in Microwave Oven 2 1/2 minutes, or  until lamb and vegetables
are tender. Variations: Pork chops, veal  chops, boneless chicken
pieces or shrimp may be substituted for the  lamb chops; however,
cooking times will have to be adjusted for pork,  chicken, and shrimp.
Pork chops will require an extra 2 minutes in  Step 5, as pork should
always be cooked to well-done. Chicken should  be cooked for only 4
minutes in Step 5 and shrimp 3 minutes.  From Gemini's MASSIVE
