But why this disciplined emphasis on tradition and memory? Because of the rootlessness of today’s culture. The contemporary world’s post-Christian mind-set, its confusing pluralism, its broken families, the high rate of divorces, and the nomadic mobility of so many have produced a generation without memory or tradition. And frankly this is where many Christian families are- especially if they have not come from Christian backgrounds. These Christians feel rootless, alien, and insecure. This is sufficient reason from every Christian family to take conscious and disciplined measures to cultivate tradition and memory. But there is an even more compelling reason. Namely, God’s Word dramatically recommends that all believing families cultivate both spiritual memory and spiritual traditions to commemorate and celebrate God’s goodness (Kent and Barbara Hughes).

Mix dressing together, warm in microwave if needed to meld the ingredients
together.  Add all but the bacon and nuts together.  Toss and refrigerate
for several hours. Drain (use this as a sauce to go over rice - just
thicken with corn starch over the stove). Add the bacon crumbles and nuts
and serve.
The kids go wild over this dish.  They will even go back to the refer and
Pick at the florets.
