In trial and weakness and trouble, He seeks to bring us low, until we learn that His grace is all, and to take pleasure in the very thing that brings us and keeps us low. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. His presence filling and satisfying our emptiness, becomes the secret of humility that need never fail. The humble man has learned the secret of abiding gladness. The weaker he feels, the lower he sinks, and the greater his humiliations appear, the more power and the presence of Christ are his portion.

INSTRUCTIONS

My aunt's friend, who gave me the recipe, calls it antipasto, but I, being
of a purist turn of thought, refuse to do that. I call it Escabeche de Atun
Y Berenjena. (something of tuna and eggplant) I'm not sure of the
translation of escabeche. (Don't tell my boss...translations are on my job
description!) Sort of pickled, sort of seviche, but actually cooked and
served cold.
Have everything chopped and ready to go (mise en place). heat oil over med.
heat in large pot. add onions, green peppers, garlic and bay leaves. cook
slightly (5 min), stirring occassionally. Add rest of ingredients except
tuna. cover and simmer 30 minutes, stirring every 10 or so. After this
time, add tuna and cook another 30 min, uncovered the last 10. Take off
heat, cool slightly, turn onto glass or ceramic bowl (her notes, not mine),
cover and refrigerate. serve cold with crackers.
