We Love God!

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

A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride.
C.S. Lewis

(Adapted from a recipe by Daniel Orr, chef at La Grenouille in New York)
To make the BROTH, peel and chop the onions, leeks, shallots, celeriac,
carrots, parsnips, chopped tomatoes, and garlic. Put the vegetables in a
pot with 3 quarts of water. Add the remaining broth ingredients and simmer
the broth slowly for 1 hour, skimming when necessary and correcting the
seasoning in the last 15 minutes. Then strain and cool the broth quickly.
To make the SPICE BLEND, put all the spices in a coffee grinder and grind
to a fine powder.
To cook the BASS heat one cup of broth in a shallow pan. Cut the fillet
into 4 portions. Season it with the blend of spices and the salt and
cilantro. Place fillets in the broth and poach the bass, spooning the broth
over the fish, until it is snowy white on the outside and just cooked and
translucent in the middle, about 5 minutes.
Heat 3 cups of broth in another pot. Add the lemon zest, orange zest,
thinly sliced and blanched vegetables, cayenne, and herbs. Season with salt
and pepper.
Put the fish fillets in 4 heated, wide soup plates, ladle over some of the
vegetables and herb broth, and garnish with herb tops.
Yield: 4 servings
