Matthew suffered martyrdom by being slain with a sword at a distant city of Ethiopia. Mark expired at Alexandria, after being cruelly dragged through the streets of that city. Luke was hanged upon an olive tree in the classic land of Greece. John was put in a cauldron of boiling oil, but escaped death in a miraculous manner, and was afterward banished to Patmos. Peter was crucified at Rome with his head downward. James, the Greater, was beheaded at Jerusalem. James, the Less, was thrown from a lofty pinnacle of the temple, and then beaten to death with a fuller’s club. Bartholomew was flayed alive. Andrew was bound to a cross, whence he preached to his persecutors until he died. Thomas was run through the body with a lance at Coromandel in the East Indies. Jude was shot to death with arrows. Matthais was first stoned and then beheaded. Barnabas of the Gentiles was stoned to death at Salonica. Paul, after various tortures and persecutions, was at length beheaded at Rome by the Emperor Nero.

INSTRUCTIONS

In a vegetable steamer, cook the pumpkin cubes for about 15 minutes or
until tender; set aside.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth or ham stock to a
simmer but do not boil. Keep warm over low heat.
Warm the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add
the onion and garlic and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the uncooked rice and sauté for about a minute more.
Add the wine and continue to cook until the liquid is nearly absorbed,
stirring frequently. (For a non-alcoholic substitute, use a mixture of half
water and half apple juice.)
Add the warm broth or stock about a half-cup at a time, stirring with each
addition. Continue to cook the rice for about 20 minutes, stirring
frequently.
Stir in the steamed pumpkin and cook for a few minutes more to warm the
pumpkin thoroughly. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated
cheese, parsley, salt, white pepper, and ham. Serve immediately.
