Batter-fried Dandelion – We Love God!

When we fail to observe the third commandment, when we fail to honor God as God, and use His name as a curse word, or in a flippant, careless manner, we fail to fulfill this first petition (of the Lord’s Prayer to “hallow” God’s name). Perhaps nothing is more commonplace in our culture than the expression that comes from people's lips on many occasions, when they say simply, “Oh, my God.” This careless reference to God indicates how far removed our culture is from fulfilling the petition of the Lord's Prayer. It should be a priority for the church and for every individual Christian to make sure that the way in which we speak of God is a way that communicates respect, awe, adoration, and reverence. How we use the name of God reveals more clearly than any creed we ever confess our deepest attitudes towards the God of the sacred name.

the dandelions as  close to the head as possible (the stems are very
bitter). Rinse  well; pat dry with paper towels. Beat the egg, milk,
flour, salt, and  pepper in a small bowl. Dip each flower into the
batter. Deep-fry in  oil that is hot but not smoking (350F - 375F),
until golden brown.  Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
