We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.

INSTRUCTIONS

Green Salsa Fresh Cilantro sprigs  Shuck corn, saving husks; set aside.
Remove & discard silks. Place  husks in a large saucepan, cover with
water and bring to a boil over  high heat. Reduce heat to low & simmer
10 minutes. Drain in colander.  Cool  Generously oil a 1-1/2 quart
souffle dish.  Arrange husks, pointed  end up in an over lapping spoke
design to completely line the bottom  and sides of dish. Husks should
extend about 2" past the rim. Cover  with plastic wrap and set aside.
Cut corn from cobs.  Set aside in a bowl and reserve. In a large  bowl,
beat together masa, water, shortening, butter, salt and baking  powder
to make a batter. Beat batter on medium speed 5 minutes; fold  in
cheese. Remove 1/3 of the batter to the bowl with the corn & stir  to
combine. Spoon corn mix into prepared dish. Smooth to level.  Place
half of remaining batter into food processor bowl fitted with a
chopping blade; add the chilies, parsley, cilantro and green onion.
Mix until smooth. Spoon mix on top of corn (2 nd layer). Rinse the
processor bowl.  In the processor with chopping blade, use the rest  of
the batter, the red pepper, chili powder and hot sauce. Process  until
smooth. Spoon mix on top. (3rd layer)  Fold in husks.  To keep husks
down, weight top of tamale with a 4"  square of aluminum foil filled
with 1/2 cup raw rice or beans. Fill  an 8 quart saucepan with 1-1/2"
water and insert a wire rack. Place  dish on rack. Over high heat bring
to boil; reduce to low, cover  tightly and steam for 1 hour. Remove
from pot. (It will expand during  cooking and shrink on cooling.) Let
cool 1 hour. Remove foil. Invert  plate over and unmold. Invert again
to get it right side up. Peel  back husks. Cut in wedges.  Green Salsa:
