Strawberry-alomond Cream Napoleons With Strawberry Sauce

Certain it is, and we are to believe it by faith, that the power of Satan is not equal to the power of God. It is not so strong, so large, and so wide. It is every way infinitely less. There is no comparison between that which is finite. If we compare it with good angels, it will be less than some and greater than other some… But if we compare it with the power of man, it is far greater every way, but yet, we must know, that is a finite and natural power, not supernatural, for then none could be saved. It is mighty, but yet not almighty.

INSTRUCTIONS

This was in today's Houston Chronicle. Sounds perfect for my new
lowfat diet  Heat oven to 400 degrees. Thaw folded pastry sheet 20
minutes. Open  sheet and cut along folds to make 3 equal strips; halve
each strip to  make 6 rectangles. Space each apart on baking sheet.
Bake in the  center of the oven about 15 minutes until well browned and
baked  through. Remove to rack to cool. Meanwhile, in bowl, whisk
pudding  mix, milk and extract 2 minutes; fold in whipped topping to
blend  throughly. Cover and refridgerate. Slice enough strawberries to
make  2 cups; set aside. To make strawberry sauce; halve the remaining
strawberries and puree in blender with granulated sugar and lemon
juice until smooth; set aside. Carefully split each piece of pastry  in
half horizontally. Cover bottom halves with almonds, then pudding
mixture and sliced berries, dividing equally. Cover with pastry tops.
Dust with powdered sugar. Serve with strawberry sauce. Note: All
components of this recipe can be prepared several hours in advance.
Cover and refridgerate pudding mixture, sauce and strawberries.
