INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARATION: For the filling, peel and core apples and cut into 1-inch
pieces. Squeeze juice from lemon. Melt the butter in a large,
nonreactive flying pan. Add the apples, lemon juice, sugar, and  nutmeg
to taste and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally,  until
apples are soft but not mushy, about 15 minutes.  For the Cider Butter
Sauce, cut both leeks for the sauce and for the  garnish into thin
julienne strips, reserving 1/2 for garnish. Break  cinnamon stick into
pieces. Put the cider, 1/2 of leeks, and cinnamon  stick in a pot,
bring to a boil, and reduce by 2/3, about 20 minutes.  Remove cinnamon
stick.  Recipe can be made to this point a day ahead.  Heat oven to
3500F. Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in preheated oven,  about 10
minutes. Reheat apple filling and sauce.  Melt the 2 tablespoons of
butter in a frying pan and saute the  remaining leek over medium heat,
stirring until soft, about 3  minutes. Over the lowest possible heat,
add the 1 pound of cold  butter to the sauce, about a tablespoon at a
time, adding another  piece as each is almost incorporated. Butter
should not melt  completely but should soften to form a creamy sauce.
If the sauce  gets too hot and butter starts to melt, remove it from
the heat and  continue adding butter.  Put an equal amount of apple
filling on each tortilla and roll it up.  Put a burrito on each plate.
Top with Cider Butter Sauce and sprinkle  with sauteed leek. Top with a
dollop of whipped cream if you like.  Recipe by Mangia!  Converted by

The faithful and laborious clergyman of a very large and populous parish had been accustomed, for a long series of years, to preserve notes of his visits to the afflicted, with remarks on the outcome of their affliction – whether life or death, and of the subsequent conduct of those who recovered. He stated, that, during forty years, he had visited more than two thousand people apparently drawing near to death, and who revealed such signs of penitence as would have led him to indulge a good hope of their eternal safety – if they had died at that moment. When they were restored to life and health – he eagerly looked that they should bring forth fruits fit for repentance. But alas! Of the two thousand, only two people manifested an abiding and saving change! The rest, when the terrors of eternity ceased to be in immediate prospect, forgot their pious impressions and their solemn vows – and returned with new avidity to their former worldly mindedness and sinful pursuits, “as the dog returns to its vomit again, and as the sow that was washed to its wallowing in the mire.”
