Christian liberty [also] may legitimately manifest itself in abstinence or asceticism. Christian liberty includes the right to abstain from otherwise legitimate pursuits if one is convinced in his/her own mind that such is the will of God for them personally. In other words, you may fully believe in the truth of Rom. 14:14a, yet choose to abstain anyway. Christian liberty does not include the right to insist that others likewise abstain simply because you do. Far less does it include the right to judge them as sub-spiritual for choosing a different course of action from you.

INSTRUCTIONS

"Sophrito" is a method of cooking in Sephardi communities that employs slow
cooking in a mixture of oil and very little water - adding water gradually
as the sauce becomes reduced - which results in a taste & feel quite
different than that of a stew. You may choose to add some fried diced
potatoes - or boiled new potatoes - at the end if you wish.
In a large pot or casserole put oil, lemon juice & c. water, tumeric, salt,
pepper, cardamon & bring to a boil. Add the chicken. Cover & cook over very
low heat, turning chicken frequently & adding more water more water if
necessary until the chicken is very tender. There should be a good amount
of the sauce. Serve with plain rice.
Variation: add 2 cloves crushed garlic and INSTEAD of the tumeric &
cardamon add 1/2 ts. ground ginger & 1/2 ts. saffron powder
