Green Beans With Onion, Garlic, And Tomato

If the inevitable processes of natural selection continue to bring about improvement in life forms on earth through survival of the fittest, then why should we hinder this process by caring for those who are weak or less able to defend themselves? Should we not rather allow them to die without reproducing so that we might move toward a new, higher form of humanity, even a “master race?” In fact, Marx, Nietzsche, and Hitler all justified war on these grounds (Wayne Grudem and Jeff Purswell).

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2	lb	Green Beans, fresh
2		Onions, sliced thinly
4		Cloves Garlic, minced
1	lb	Italian Plum Tomatoes
		red-ripe
2	t	Olive Oil
1 1/2	t	Salt
1/2	c	Water

		or-
1/4	t	Dried Oregano
		Fresh Ground Black Pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut the stems (but not the tails) off the beans, and cut them into 1
inch pieces. If you want to peel the tomatoes (I don't), drop them
into boiling water for 15 seconds, remove to a bowl of ice water,  then
peel. Chop the tomatoes into 1/2 inch pieces. (You can use one  large
can of diced plum tomatoes, in a pinch, or if you're feeling  lazy.)
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, and stir-fry the garlic for 30
seconds, or so. Fling in the onions, and stir-fry over medium heat  for
2-3 minutes, being sure not to burn the garlic or color the  onions.
Dump in the tomatoes, beans, salt, pepper, oregano (if  desired) and
water, and bring to a boil. Cover, lower heat, and  simmer for 10-15
minutes (depending on how done you like the beans),  then uncover,
boost the heat, and reduce the liquid until it's thick.  Correct
seasonings.  Adapted by Ron Lunde, from: Madhur Jeffrey's "World Of The

A Message from our Provider:

“Forgive your enemies – it messes with their heads!”

You don’t have to be ascetic, and you don’t have to be afraid of the goodness of physical pleasure, to say that sexual intimacy and sexual climax get their final meaning from what they point to. They point to ecstasies that are unattainable and inconceivable in this life. Just as the heavens are telling the glory of God’s power and beauty, so sexual climax is telling the glory of immeasurable delights that we will have with Christ in the age to come. There will be no marriage there (Matt. 22:30). But what marriage meant will be there. And the pleasures of marriage, ten-to-the-millionth power, will be there.

John Piper
