	Sami	Side dish, Onions, Artchokes	8	servings

INGREDIENTS

48		Pearl white onions
2	tb	Butter
2	ts	Sugar
		Balsamic vinegar
		Salt; to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper; to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Remove a small slice from both stem and root end of each pearl onion
and peel them. An alternate way is to parboil them for 2 minutes,
drain and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Pop the
skins off by pressing the onion at its root end. Set the onions in a
saucepan wide enough to accommodate them in one layer and barely
cover them with water. Boil over high heat for 10 minutes until
partially cooked. Add the butter and sugar and continue to boil until
the water has evaporated and the onions begin to sizzle. Reduce the
heat to medium-low and shake the saucepan and turn the onions in the
butter and sugar to brown them. Continue to cook until the onions are
glazed, brown and syrupy looking. Add a tablespoonful or more of
balsamic vinegar and cook until evaporated. Season well with salt and
pepper. This recipe yields about 8 to 10 servings as a side dish.

A Message from our Provider:

“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.”

Because those in the world are so quick to live vicariously through their children, to catalog their successes in conversation and on social media, we Christians are tempted to follow suit. We want to show the world that our following in the pathway of Christ doesn’t make us losers, but that in fact we are empowered for even greater successes. We Christians herald our outspoken athletes and our teenage pop stars and in turn highlight whatever headlines our own children garner. Our standards, however, ought to be different. Our faith isn’t a better path to a better life, as the world defines it. It is instead a different path, a different life, and a different understanding of what we mean by better. We cherish academic success, but smart, I’m sorry to report, is not listed among the fruit of the Spirit. Neither is pretty, wealthy, athletic, musical. There is nothing wrong with those things, nothing wrong with excelling in those things. They are not, however, the goal. They are not the measure of success for those called to pick up their cross and follow Him.
