Brussels Sprouts With Caramelized Onion

As God then sees all hearts, and knows every movement of pride, whether we see it or not, His purpose is to humble us! When I look back upon my life, and see all my sins, all my follies, all my slips, all my falls, my conscience testifies of the many things I have thought, said, and done, which grieve my soul, make me hang my head before God, put my mouth in the dust, and confess my sins unto Him. When I contrast my own exceeding sinfulness with God's greatness, God's majesty, God's holiness, and God's purity... I fall down, humbly and meekly before Him, I put my mouth in the dust, I acknowledge I am vile. “I am nothing but dust and ashes.” (Abraham) “Behold, I am vile!” (Job) “Woe to me! I am ruined!” (Isaiah) “I am a sinful man!” (Peter)

INSTRUCTIONS

Dreaded? Brussels sprouts are one of my two most favorites. Try this,
from Time-Life's Fresh Ways with Vegetables:  Put the onion, oil,
pepper, and 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan. Bring  water to a boil over
high heat and partially cover pan so a little  steam can escape. Reduce
heat to medium and cook onion, stirring  occasionally, till it is
caramelized--i.e., water's about all gone,  but a brown syrupy release
of the onion's natural sugar is around and  about--about one hour.
Uncover pan and add wine to onion. Raise heat to high and boil  rapidly
till almost all the wine has evaporated--5 to 10 minutes.  About 15
minutes before the onion's done, steam Brussels sprouts till  they are
tender. Toss with onion and serve.  Posted to FOODWINE Digest 31

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.”
