The more excellent something is the more likely it will be imitated. There are many false diamonds and rubies, but who goes about making counterfeit pebbles? However, the more excellent things are the more difficult it is to imitate them in their essential character and intrinsic virtues. Yet the more variable the imitations be, the more skill and subtlety will be used in making them an exact imitation. So it is with Christian virtues and graces. The devil and men's own deceitful hearts tend to imitate those things that have the highest value. So no graces are more counterfeited than love and humility. For these are the virtues where the beauty of a true Christian is seen most clearly.

SALSA CRUDA
Date: Fri, 22 Mar 1996 11:27:46 -0500 (EST)
From: halsalhb@UCBEH.SAN.UC.EDU (h brian halsall)
Dice the chiles, peel and smash the garlic, coarsely chop the cilantro
(flavour is lost if chopped fine), and combine everything, with all can
juices, except the sherry in a large casserole. Bake at 350 until bubbling
gently (about 1/2 hour). Stir in the sherry, and serve. Do not cook longer,
otherwise the textures will be lost.
Salsa Cruda: Coarsely chop equal parts tomatoes, white onions, peppers
(yellow/red bells plus jalapenos/serranos/habaneros - adjust amount
depending on the heat level desired). Pack with juice of two limes per pint
of pack and salt to taste. Pressure can for storage, or simmer gently for
about 10 min and refrigerate. Simmering can be omitted if a crunchy salsa
is desired.
