We have no right to murmur at sickness, and repine at its presence in the world. We ought rather to thank God for it. It is God’s witness. It is the soul’s adviser. It is an awakener to the conscience. It is a purifier to the heart. Surely I have a right to tell you that sickness is a blessing and not a curse, a help and not an injury, a gain and not a loss, a friend and not a foe to mankind. So long as we have a world wherein there is sin, it is a mercy that it is a world wherein there is sickness.

INSTRUCTIONS

6 TO 8 SERVINGS DAIRY-FREE
This is a very simple casserole based on just one main
ingredient--potatoes--yet it's succulent and full of flavor.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Peel potatoes. Cut into large chunks and place in a
baking dish large enough for potatoes to form a single layer. Season with
salt and pepper and sprinkle with saffron.
In a skillet, heat oil. Tear bread into pieces and fry with almonds until
golden, about 5 minutes. (Remove garlic if it gets too dark.) Grind
bread-almond mixture with a mortar and pestle or in a food processor with a
little boiling water until fairly smooth; then stir in paprika and season
with salt and pepper.
Add bread-almond mixture to the potatoes, along with remaining water. Cover
dish with foil and bake 45 minutes. Remove foil, stir contents and continue
baking until liquid has been absorbed and potatoes are tender. Broil to
brown the top. Garnish with parsley.
