Blackeyed Peas And Rice

Grace is reward, or favor, given to those who deserve judgment. If a judge found a serial rapist guilty, and then stepped down from his bench, agreed to take the death penalty in the criminal’s place, and sent the rapist on an all-expense-paid vacation to Hawaii for thirty years, that would be grace. The severity of the criminal’s crimes would be the measure of the judge’s grace. In the same way, the knowledge of what we deserve, and what it cost God to be gracious, is the measure of His fatherly grace. When it is said and done, the cross is the tape that measures the length and breadth of God’s grace. Like God’s wrath, His grace is holy. It transcends all human conceptions.

INSTRUCTIONS

x Lipton Rice 'n' Sauce Cajun 1 tb Pepper 1 x Stew Meat 1 ts Creole  or
Cajun seasoning 1 x Bell pepper Cayenne pepper or hot sauce  Look thru
peas for rocks and wash through 3 waters. Soak peas in water  overnight
in fridge.  The next day, throw out water they soaked in;  some claim
this keeps beans from giving you a problem, but stay on  this diet a
couple weeks and you won't have a problem anyway. It goes  away. Wash
stew meat and put stew meat and pre-soaked peas in big pot  on stove
and bring to boil, with PLENTY of water. Add seasonings to  taste. If
you use Cajun seasoning it contains salt; so don't add  extra salt!!!!
Otherwise, add salt to taste.  When stew meat and peas  come to a boil,
reduce to Medium and keep watching to add water so  they don't scorch.
After about 40 minutes add packet of Rice and  Sauce, preferably Cajun
flavor. Start watching the water really  carefully now, and add a pint
from time to time. After about 20  minutes of rice cooking, add bell
pepper, onion, and more seasonings  if you need.  (This dish is good
hot and peppery) Everything should  be ready at the same time. When
test bite shows all is ready, eat!

A Message from our Provider:

“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
