God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Let us mark this well. There is nothing which shows our ignorance so much as our impatience under trouble. We forget that every trial is a message from God – and intended to do us good in the end. Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees. Health is a good thing. But sickness is far better, if it leads us to God. Prosperity is a great mercy. But adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.

These are variously called Bhajis, Bhajias or Pakoora. The recipe is
endlessly variable.
Make a pancake type batter with the flour and other powdered ingredients
using water. Mix in the other chopped stuff. Heat the oil in a pan, at a
depth of about an inch, to around 150deg C or 300deg F. Drop in teaspoons
of the mixture and cook until golden brown. Remove with a wire strainer and
cool slightly on paper towels. Eat. Make a lot. Drink beer. They are even
nicer with diced potato, carrot, cabbage or all three. You name it - the
batter will hold it together! Restaurants often serve these with mint
sauce, but I reckon my home made hot sauces do the trick.
Last night I used such a batter to coat cheese stuffed jalapenos (peppers I
don't particularly like the taste of but they were available). As a coating
it was completely adherent and leakproof. For some reason though it didn't
crisp up as nicely as I had hoped. Workin' on it.
