The menu grew out of the ongoing love affair that Polly Mellinger and her husband, Michael, began with New Mexico about 10 years ago. So strong is their attachment that they bought a house in Taos five years ago and now spend about a third of their time there. The recipe she shares today was one of her Internet finds (source unknown). In recommending it, she said: "Not only does the compote taste wonderful and different, but the house smells incredibly good when it's brewing." -- November 23, 1998, interview by Sarah Casey Newman, St. Louis Post Dispatch.

A Message from our Provider:
“A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord. #John MacArthur”
