There is a grave danger in ritual familiarity with holy matters, even if you are not a professional. It is all too easy to go spiritually brain-dead when the prelude begins, to “say” prayers rather than pray them, to use the cadence of a confession as a rhythmic anesthetic, to mindlessly mouth the words of great hymns and gospel songs, to nod off during the sermon, to glibly mouth evangelical creeds – and then imagine that we’re really spiritual.

INSTRUCTIONS

TOSS SHELLED WALNUTS in a little walnut oil to coat lightly, season with
salt and pepper and spread on baking sheet. Toast at 350F about 7 minutes
until they begin to have a good, toasty smell. Cut cabbage into quarters or
sixths, so that pieces are no more than about 2 1/2-inches across. Remove
cores and slice pieces very thinly. Set aside. Cut apple into sixths,
remove cores, then thinly slice pieces crosswise. Combine vinegar and olive
oil in wide saute pan over medium-high flame. When hot, add onion and saute
30 seconds. Add cabbage and stir with tongs about 2 minutes or until just
wilted. Leaves will begin to soften and color will change from bright
purple-red to pink. Season to taste with salt, plenty of pepper and more
vinegar, if necessary, to sharpen flavors. Add most of cheese and parsley,
all the apples and walnuts. Toss briefly to combine, garnish with remaining
cheese and parsley and serve.
