Cream Cake With Mint Taste

May I beg you carefully to judge every preacher, not by his gifts, not by his elocutionary powers, not by his status in society, not by the respectability of his congregation, not by the prettiness of his church, but by this – does he preach the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation? If he does, your sitting under his ministry may prove to you the means of begetting faith in you. But if he does not, you cannot expect God's blessing.

C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS

Cream Cake with Mint Taste (Kake med Myntesmak)  THE DAY BEFORE (Mint
Cream): Put 2 cups (5dl) cream in a saucepan and  heat over medium. Add
1 package of After Eight mints (reserve 8 for  decorating) and 2
semi-sweet chocolate squares and stir until melted.  Cool the mixture
and store in fridge overnight (this makes the mint  flavour stronger
than if you use the mint cream the same day).  CAKE: Line the bottom of
a 10" (26cm) springform pan with paper and  butter it.  Whip the eggs
and sugar really really well - as if making  a sponge cake. This could
take about 5-8 minutes on high. Combine the  rest of the ingredients
and FOLD by hand into the egg/sugar mixture.  Pour into the prepared
springform pan. Bake at 375 F (200 C) for  about 30 minutes or until
done (toothpick comes out clean). Cool on a  rack. When prepared to
fill and ice, slice in half with a long knife.  CREAM FILLING and
ICING: Whip the mint cream. Whip the plain cream.  Fold the two
together mixing well. Fill the cake with the cream  filling (~1/3) and
use the remaining 2/3 to ice the top and sides of  the cake (or figure
out the proportions by sight). Cut the 8 reserved  after Eight mints in
half diagonally and place cut side down on the  top of the cake as
decoration (i.e. they stand up high from the cake).  REC.FOOD.RECIPES

In America, we have a long history of valuing the concept of the separation of church and state. This idea historically referred to a division of labors between the church and the civil magistrate. However, initially both the church and the state were seen as entities ordained by God and subject to His governance. In that sense, the state was considered to be an entity that was “under God.” What has happened in the past few decades is the obfuscation of this original distinction between church and state, so that today the language we hear of separation of church and state, when carefully exegeted, communicates the idea of the separation of the state from God. In this sense, it’s not merely that the state declares independence from the church, it also declares independence from God and presumes itself to rule with autonomy.
