Layered Cashew And Mushroom Loaf

You must regard parenting as one of your most important tasks while you have children at home. This is your calling. You must raise your children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. You cannot do so without investing yourself in a life of sensitive communication in which you help them understand life and God’s world. There is nothing more important. You have only a brief season of life to invest yourself in this task. You have only one opportunity to do it. You cannot go back and do it over… To do this job of parenting well, it must be a primary task. It is your primary calling.

garlic till soft.  Grind cashews in a nut mill, blender or mincer  then
mix with breadcrumbs.  Beat egg well and add to dry ingredients.  Mix
in parsnips (or potatoes) and herbs. Add fried onion and garlic.  Be
sure to scrape in all the juice as the loaf can get a little dry
during baking. Dissolve the yeast in stock and add to other
ingredients. Season well. Melt margarine in skillet and saute the
mushrooms till they are soft. Grease a 2 pound loaf pan then press in
half the loaf mixture. Cover with the mushrooms and top with the rest
