God wants us to follow a recurring pattern of intense work and then rest, intense work and then rest, and so forth. Whatever view one takes of the Sabbath, surely the six days of work and the one day of rest embedded in the creation remain relevant in some sense. Any routine of life that is unsustainable long-term cannot be of God. He calls us to work. But he also calls us to rest, in order to work most fruitfully. What sets us apart is this. We rest, in order to work; we do not work, in order to rest. We who believe the gospel are not living for the weekend, but for The End. In the meantime, we figure out rhythms of life that make fruitful labor sustainable.

Eggs, Dairy		Pudding, Mousse, Dessert, Coffee, Alcohol	8	Servings

INGREDIENTS

12	oz	Semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, cut into bits
2	ts	Powdered instant coffee (not freeze-dried), dissolved in 1/4 c water
1/4	c	Curacao or rum
2		Egg yolks
4		Egg whites; at room temperature
1/4	ts	Cream of tartar
2	tb	Sugar
1/2	c	Heavy cream

INSTRUCTIONS

Melt chocolate, dissolved coffee, and Curacao or rum in a medium bowl set
in a barely simmering pan of water. Stir frequently to hasten melting. Or,
melt in a microwave on medium (50%) for about 2:15. Stir until smooth. When
mixture is warm and smooth, whisk in egg yolks and combine well. Remove
from heat and set aside.
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium
speed until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in 2 tbsp sugar, beating on
high speed until stiff but not dry. Fold one-fourth of the egg whites into
chocolate mixture to lighten it. Scrape all of the remaining whites on top
of mousse and set aside while you beat the cream. Beat cream until it holds
its shape softly (do not beat until stiff).
Scrape whipped cream over egg whites and chocolate. Fold together until
just incorporated. Turn the mousse immediately into lined mold or serving
bowls.
From: Ari Rapkin - Stiff & sliceable. Coffee optional. Good for filling
charlottes or other molded desserts, also wonderful with plain whipped
cream and berries. Serves eight. (makes about 4 1/2 cups) From the Chocolat
cookbook
