They who have no Bible may still look up to the moon walking in brightness and the stars watching in obedient order; they may see in the joyous sunbeams the smile of God, and in the fruitful shower the manifestation of His bounty; they hear the rending thunder utter His wrath, and the jubilee of the birds sing His praise; the green hills are swelled with His goodness; the trees of the wood rejoice before Him with every quiver of their foliage in the summer air.

INSTRUCTIONS

GUACAMOLE FILLING
OMELETTE
For those Chileheads whose heritage included wandering for forty years in
the dessert hoping that Albuquerque might be part of the promised land, the
following recipe comes from Wednesday's food section of The Boston Globe.
I'd suggest increasing the amount of chopped jalapeno and adding some other
chiles to improve the complexity of the flavors:
This recipe is adapted from "Fast & Festive Meals for the Jewish Holidays,"
by Marlene Sorosky (William Morrow, 1997).
For the guacamole, stir together the avocado, scallion, sour cream, and
lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
For the omelette, place the matzo in a colander in the sink and pour
boiling water over it. Let stand 2 minutes. Squeeze out the liquid and
place the matzo in a bowl. Add the eggs, salt, and jalapeno, and mix well.
In a 10-inch, nonstick frying pan, melt the butter. Pour the matzo mixture
into the hot pan and cook over medium heat, pulling the eggs toward the
center of pan with a spatula and tilting the pan to allow uncooked portions
to flow into empty spaces until set.
Sprinkle the omelette with cheese. Spread the guacamole filling over half
the omelette. Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Fold the
omelette in half and slide onto a serving plate. Divide it in 2 and serve
at once. If desired, garnish with salsa.
