Name: Aubergine with Pine Kernels
Ingredients: See instructions

Mary was more blessed in accepting the faith of Christ than in conceiving the flesh of Christ. To someone who said, 'Blessed is the womb that bore you,' [Jesus] replied, 'Rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it.' Finally, for His brothers, His relatives according to the flesh who did not believe in Him, of what advantage was that relationship? Even her maternal relationship would have done Mary no good unless she had borne Christ more happily in her heart than in her flesh.

Hi all, Here's a S.African 2 cents worth. An old fashioned and rather
different recipe from "Leipoldt's Cape Cookery" by the late poet, doctor
and and cook C.Louis Leipoldt. First: a bit of explanation of terms.
"Brinjal"=Eggplant, "Blatjang"=chutney. Dr Leipoldt didn't believe in
weighing down recipes with anything as mundane as measurements. His
explanations assume that you have good "cooking sense", as I know you all
do.
This is called "Aubergine with Pine Kernels". I quote verbatim.
"Select your brinjal with care, choosing a moderate-sized one with firm and
thick flesh; peel it thinly and cut it in slices, on which you strew salt.
Let the brinjal lie till most of the water has been extracted, then wipe
the slices and dust them with fine flour which you have previously mixed
with powdered white pepper, ginger and nutmeg. Slice and brown some onions
with fat, lay on them the brinjal slices and strew over them plenty of pine
kernels. Then add enough sherry to cover them and stew with the lid closed
till everything is well blended. A little chilli and blatjang added much
improves it." Posted to CHILE-HEADS DIGEST V4 #040 by Dave Williams

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus: more relevant than we could ever comprehend”

Longsuffering, forbearing patience is to be the Christian’s reflection of the character of God. It is part of God’s character to be slow to anger and quick to be merciful. Part of the incomprehensibility of God in terms of my own relationship with Him is this: I cannot fathom how a holy God has been able to put up with me marring His creation to the degree I have for three score and five years. For me to live another day requires a continuation of God’s gracious patience with my sin… It becomes even more difficult to fathom when we see a sinless Being being more patient with sinful beings that sinful beings are with each other.
