Cream-corn Pudding – We Love God!

Practical features of the expression of God’s love: 1. Love is not defined by the act, but by the character of God within the act. 2. Love precludes hypocrisy and play-acting. 3. Love is unselfish; not based on self-need or want. 4. Love is not conditioned on reciprocity or calculation of repayment. 5. Love doesn’t care who gets the credit. 6. Love is active; not merely passive or theoretical; love doesn’t loiter. 7. Love believes, trusts and expects God to overcome all things. 8. Love is directed toward people; not things, ideas, doctrines, principles. 9. Love of neighbor desires them to have everything you have, and more. 10. Love precludes resentment, covetousness, and judging another. 11. Love seeks to commend, not condemn. 12. Love is not conditioned on the lovability or action of the recipient. 13.

INGREDIENTS

1		Cream-style corn
1/2	c	Sugar
1	c	Milk
2		Eggs
1	t	Vanilla
1	T	Butter, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large, oven-proof mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except
butter; beat well together. Top with butter if desired. Bake at 350-f
35 min, or until set.  Note: I would advise NOT trying this in the
microwave; I have  attempted an MW method, and the mixture did not set.
Variations: Before baking, stir in a heaping tablespoon of raisins,
currants, or berries. For the last ten minutes of baking, top with
fine graham wafer or cornflake crumbs. For a delicious and hearty
breakfast, place banana slices in the bottom of a soup bowl, and  spoon
leftover pudding over top. Microwave until heated through; add  a
little milk if desired. The pudding will keep in the refrigerator  for
at least a week.  Posted to MM-Recipes Digest V4 #133 by Julie Bertholf
