Figue Vert (green Banana) Gratin

Heaven, as the eternal home of the divine Man and of all the redeemed members of the human race, must necessarily be thoroughly human in its structure, conditions, and activities. Its joys and its occupations must all be rational, moral, emotional, voluntary, and active. There must be the exercise of all faculties, the gratification of all tastes, the development of all talent capacities, the realization of all ideals. The reason, the intellectual curiosity, the imagination, the aesthetic instincts, the holy affections, the social affinities, the inexhaustible resources of strength and power native to the human soul, must all find in heaven exercise and satisfaction.

INGREDIENTS

3	lb	Green bananas
2	c	Chicken Stock
2	T	Butter
1		Small Onion, chopped
1	c	Light cream or milk
2		Eggs, beaten
		Salt
		Ground Nutmeg
1	pn	Cinnamon
1	c	Grated Cheddar Cheese
1/2	c	Fresh Bread Crumbs

INSTRUCTIONS

Grated Gruyere cheese can be used instead of cheddar cheese. Place
bananas in saucepan and add just enough chicken stock to cover. Bring
to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until bananas are tender, about 20
to 25 minutes. Using a potato masher, mash until smooth (chicken  stock
will be absorbed). Let cool slightly. Meanwhile, heat butter in  a
small frypan and saute onions until tender. Add the onions, cream,
beaten eggs to cooked bananas until combined; season with salt,  nutmeg
and cinnamon to taste. Mixture will be quite moist. Place  banana
mixture in a buttered shallow baking dish. Combine cheese with  bread
crumbs; sprinkle over top. Bake at 350 for 35 - 40 minutes or  until
top is golden. Serves 4 - 6. From The Gazette, 91/02/13.  From Gemini's

A Message from our Provider:

“He who angers you, controls you!”

Sensible, reasonable men are approachable. They are not defensive when confronted. You can discuss things with them without the conversation becoming personal, confrontational, aggressive or argumentative. They think with their biblically informed head and not their fleshly driven feelings. They are able to see beyond their side of the situation. They have as their primary goal the glory of God, even if that comes in their humiliation. They are filled with the Holy Spirit and demonstrate the fruit of self-control.
