We Love God!

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

When all were in their places Father said grace and, excusing himself, left the family to retire to his study. He frequently spent thirteen hours a day studying. He managed this amazing amount of time by husbanding every hour of the day. He usually arose at four in the morning, indulging himself in the later rising time of five in the winter. In this way he was far along in his studies while the household slept. He preferred to eat alone, usually certain foods which he had by experimentation discovered kept his mind and body most sprightly. This morning he did not eat the rich menu which Venus set before the rest of the household, the home-cured bacon and the delicious hot breads. But at the end of the meal, he rejoined his family for morning devotions.

Butterfly Cookies

INGREDIENTS

1		Package won ton wrappers
1	c	Powdered sugar
		Oil for deep frying

INSTRUCTIONS

Fixed these guys last night.  Good stuff!  Quite simple to do.  I also
tried using granulated sugar and cinnamon as well as the powdered
sugar. All were equally good.
Yield: About 80
PREPARATION: Cut each won ton wrapper into 2 rectangles. Lay one
rectangle on top of the other to form a double thickness. Make three
1/2-inch slits in the center, lengthwise.  To form a bow, pull one
end through the middle slit.
COOKING: Deep fry butterflies until golden, about 1 minute or less.
Drain on paper towel. Sift powdered sugar over both sides. Cool.
DO-AHEAD NOTES: These keep several weeks in air-tight containers. [Fat
chance! They didn't even make it through the next day! S.C.]
COMMENTS: These can also be made from egg roll wrappers but they're
three times as large.  I prefer using won ton wrappers because I
think their mini size makes them more attractive.
