We often forget that temptation can come from any quarter, even from within our own family circle. We expect the Devil to assault us like a roaring lion, as ugly and fearsome as can be. We don’t expect him to come to us dressed up like an angel of light, speaking in the honey-sweet tones of the ones we love. Yet the Bible warns us that such an approach is easy for him to adopt (2 Cor. 11:14). Thus, Satan didn't only confront Jesus head-on in the wilderness (Matt. 4:1-11); he also tempted him more subtly through the words of one of his closest disciples, Peter (Matt. 16:23).

INSTRUCTIONS

"Asian dim-sum appetizers were the inspiration for these spicy meat-filled
sesame buns. Serve them straight from the oven with purchased hoisin sauce.
"This recipe makes great pork buns too." Filling: Heat oil over medium
heat. Add beef and red pepper; cook 3 minutes. Add bok choy, gingerroot and
orange peel; cook 2-3 minutes or until bok choy is wilted. Stir in onions
and hoisin sauce; remove from heat. Cool. Buns: Prepare hot roll mix.
Divide dough into 24 portions. Roll each portion into a ball. On a lightly
floured surface roll or pat each ball into a 3 1/2" circle. For each bun
place 1 tablespoon filling in center of a circle. Moisten edges of dough
with water and bring up around filling pinching edges together to seal.
Arrange filled buns seam sides down on 2 lightly greased baking sheets.
Cover and let rise in a warm place 20 minutes. Brush with beaten egg;
sprinkle with sesame seed. Bake at 375F 15 minutes or until golden. Makes
24 buns. Make-ahead directions: Prepare and cook buns as directed. Cool 30
minutes. Wrap in heavy foil and freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat leave
frozen buns in foil wrap. Bake at 325F 40 minutes or until heated through.
