An ideal Christian home ought to be a place where love rules. It ought to be beautiful, bright, joyous, full of tenderness and affection, a place in which all are growing happier and holier each day. There should never be any discord, any wrangling, any angry words or bitter feelings. The home-life should be a harmonious song without one marring note, day after day. The home, no matter how humble it is, how plain, how small – should be the dearest spot on the earth to each member of the family. It should be made so happy a place, and so full of life, that no matter where one may wander in after years, in any of the ends of the earth – his home should still hold its invisible cords of influence about him, and should ever draw resistless upon his heart. It ought to be the one spot in all the earth, to which he would turn first, when in trouble or in danger. It should be his refuge, in every trial and grief.

INSTRUCTIONS

Well, this is NOT non-fat, but is low fat. It's kind of a Schezuan sauce I
guess, of my own invention. If I could figure out how to avoid using the
oil it would be non-fat, but anything I've tried has been less than yummy.
Considering it makes about 1 1/2 cups of sauce, and that goes a long way
(ie: 2 Tbs per serving, approx), the fat content per serving should be
about 1g due to the sauce. The flavor of the sesame oil is quite
indespensible, to me.
It's quite spicy, be warned! But it's fantastic for vegetables over rice,
or with vegetables, grilled chicken, and rice noodles; or stirred into
plain wild rice. Experiment!
DIRECTIONS: =========== In a small skillet, saute the garlic, hot pepper,
shallot, and mustard seed in the oil until the garlic and shallots brown
and the mustard seeds begin to pop (best over high heat, but don't let the
oil burn).  Add the tomato juice, tamari, white pepper and cumin. Lower
heat and simmer 5 mins. In a smal cup mix 2 tsp cold water and the
arrowroot until smooth. Stir into sauce, stirring constantly. The sauce
should thicken in about a minute or two. Remove from heat and stir into
your favorite dish.
