As surely as men standing in Jerusalem once saw Him slowly descending the Mount of Olives and then ascending the opposite hill into the city, so surely shall the world one day see the Son of Man descending the heavens. Not then shall He come as the meek and lowly: He shall come with power and great glory. Not then shall He come riding on an ass: He shall come in a cloud, the emblematic carriage of deity. Not then shall he have to borrow a donkey: then His advance preparations shall be the roaring of the sea and the shaking of the powers of the heavens (David Gooding).

In a large skillet, melt margarine. Add onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Saute
until tender but not browned. Add tarragon, stir until it is softened.
Pour mixture into a bowl of food processor. Add remaining ingredients.
Process until mixture is smooth. Add cheese if you prefer a more spreadable
consistency. Spoon into a serving bowl. Top with garnish of your choice.
Makes
1-1/2    cups.
People who do not like ordinary pate seem to love this one. Vary the herbs
and substitute the vegetables as you wish. Serve with water crackers, thick
slices of crusty French bread, thin slices of whole wheat bread, or
unsalted whole wheat crackers. May be frozen.
VARIATIONS: ~ Substitute other vegetables for the mushrooms (maybe
broccoli.) ~ Substitute 1/2 t fennel for the tarragon and 1 c whole pecans
for the
almonds ~ vary the flavor by using other seasonings such as basil, oregano,
dillweed,
curry powder, or nutmeg.
