Rice Croquettes With Parsley Sauce

Now, some people think the Bible is a book of rules, telling you what you should and shouldn’t do. The Bible certainly does have some rules in it. They show you how life works best. But the Bible isn’t mainly about you and what you should be doing. It’s about God and what he has done. Other people think the Bible is a book of heroes, showing you people you should copy. The Bible does have some heroes in it, but (as you’ll soon find out) most of the people in the Bible aren’t heroes at all. They make some big mistakes (sometimes on purpose), they get afraid and run away. At times, they’re downright mean. No, the Bible isn’t a book of rules, or a book of heroes. The Bible is most of all a Story. It’s an adventure story about a young Hero who comes from a far country to win back his lost treasure. It’s a love story about a brave Prince who leaves his palace, his throne–everything–to rescue the ones he loves. It’s like the most wonderful of fairy tales that has come true in real life! You see, the best thing about this Story is…it’s true. There are lots of stories in the Bible, but all the stories are telling one Big Story. The Story of how God loves His children and comes to rescue them. It takes the whole Bible to tell this Story. And at the center of the Story, there is a baby. Every story in the Bible whispers His name. He is like the missing piece in the puzzle-the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together, and suddenly you can see a beautiful picture.

Prepare sauce: Heat butter over low heat until melted. Stir in flour,
salt, and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring constanly, until  smooth
and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in milk and parsley. Heat  to
boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 min. Keep warm.
Croquettes: Heat oil in skillet. Mix rice, cheese, parsley, pepper,
onions, and 1 egg in lg bowl. Mix remaining egg and milk in sm bowl.
Shape rice mixtrue into 12 ovals, using 1 rounded Tbsp per oval. Dip
into egg mixture; coat with breadcrumbs. Fry 2-3 mins per side. Drain.
This was really a nice meatless main dish but needs 2-3 servings of
vegetables around it to round it out as a meal. I had to thicken the
sauce a bit more and I made 7 medium sized oval croquettes.

A contented man, just as he is the most contented, so he is the most unsatisfied man in the world. You will say, ‘How is that?’ A man who has learned the art of contentment is the most contented with any low condition that he has in the world, and yet he cannot be satisfied with the enjoyment of all the world… though his heart is so enlarged that the enjoyment of all the world and ten thousand worlds cannot satisfy him for his portion; yet he has a heart quieted under God’s disposal.
