Name: Lemon Grass Parfait with Warm Pineapple Salsa
Ingredients: 6 Lemon grass stalks; white part only, chopped; 4 Vanilla beans; 3 c Heavy cream; 12 Egg yolks; 6 Eggs; 13 oz Powdered sugar; (10x); 3 tb Pure vanilla extract; === PINEAPPLE SALSA ===; 2 c Peeled; cored, diced pineapple; Juice of 1 orange; 1/2 ts Freshly-ground white pepper

God wants us to follow a recurring pattern of intense work and then rest, intense work and then rest, and so forth. Whatever view one takes of the Sabbath, surely the six days of work and the one day of rest embedded in the creation remain relevant in some sense. Any routine of life that is unsustainable long-term cannot be of God. He calls us to work. But he also calls us to rest, in order to work most fruitfully. What sets us apart is this. We rest, in order to work; we do not work, in order to rest. We who believe the gospel are not living for the weekend, but for The End. In the meantime, we figure out rhythms of life that make fruitful labor sustainable.

INSTRUCTIONS

In a non-aluminum pan, bring cream to a boil with the lemon grass and
scraped vanilla beans. Simmer on very low heat for 20 minutes. Mix will
reduce about 20 per cent. Pull off heat and store overnight. The next day,
strain the lemon grass and vanilla beans out and lift to whip cream stage.
Bring yolks, eggs, and sugar to ribbon stage, whisking constantly over a
bain marie (110 degrees). Using a mixer, whip at high speed for 10 minutes
until the mix is pale in color and light. Fold in the lifted cream. Place
in molds and freeze at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. For pineapple
salsa: In a non-stick pan, heat all together and serve warm with the frozen
parfait. This recipe yields 10 servings.
