Knowing that God's way to the human heart (the will) is via the human head (the mind), the Puritans practiced meditation, discursive and systematic, on the whole range of biblical truth as they saw it applying to themselves. Puritan meditation on Scripture was modeled on the Puritan sermon; in meditation, the Puritan would seek to search and challenge his heart, stir his affections to hate sin and love righteousness, and encourage himself with God's promises.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2	lb	Boneless; skinless chicken thighs or breasts
3	tb	Soy sauce
1 1/2	tb	Peanut butter or tahini; (ground sesame paste)
1	ts	Asian sesame oil
1	sm	Clove garlic; peeled
		A few drops of hot sauce; like Tabasco
		Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4	ts	Sugar
1	tb	Rice or other vinegar
1		Cucumber
1/4	c	Minced cilantro leaves.

INSTRUCTIONS

Time: 30 minutes (or longer if you want to serve it cold)
1. Start a charcoal or gas grill, or preheat the broiler. Cut the chicken
meat into 1/2- to 1-inch chunks, and thread it onto skewers. Put the
skewers on a plate, and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce.
2. In a blender, combine the remaining soy sauce with the peanut butter,
sesame oil, garlic, hot sauce, salt, pepper, sugar and vinegar. Turn the
blender on, and add hot water, a teaspoon at a time, until the mixture is
smooth and creamy. (You will not need more than 3 teaspoons of water.)
3. Grill or broil the chicken, turning once or twice. Total cooking time
will be 6 to 8 minutes for breasts, 10 to 12 minutes for thighs. Meanwhile,
peel the cucumber (if it is waxed), slice it in half the long way, and
scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut it into 1/2-inch dice, and combine in
a bowl with the sauce. When the chicken is done, toss it with the sauce and
cucumber. Taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary; then, serve hot or
cold, garnished with the cilantro.
Yield: 4 servings.
