Name: Sun-Dried Tomatoes #2
Ingredients: Roma tomatoes

A steady diet of performances by soloists or even choirs can have the unintended effect of undermining the corporate, participative nature of our musical worship. People can gradually come to think of worship in terms of passive observation, which we do not see modeled in the Bible. Such a diet may also begin to blur the line between worship and entertainment, especially in a television-sopped culture like ours, where one of our most insidious expectations is to be always entertained. Of course, this blurring is hardly ever intended. But over time, separating the “performers” from “the rest of the congregation” can subtly shift the focus of our attention from God to the musicians and their talent – a shift that is frequently revealed by applause at the end of some performance pieces. Who is the beneficiary of such applause? (Mark Dever and Paul Alexander).

Someone asked for the recipe for sun-dried tomatoes.  Just take some Roma
tomatoes (the meaty, pear-shaped ones), cut them in half, and dry them on
racks in the sun.  If your climate isn't hot and dry enough for them to dry
in a day, they may mold. You can always dry them overnight in a food dryer
(I made mine using light bulbs for heat, a fan, thermostat, plywood, and
about 500 small screws). The oven could also be used, but don't want them
to cook.
When dry (leathery but not crisp), I toss them in zip-lock bags and store
in the freezer. To reconstitute, I heat a vinegar-water combination to
boil, toss in a couple of dried tomatoes for a minute, then drain and store
in a jar with garlic, oregano, and olive oil. (Oil must cover or they will
mold.) (If you skip the hot water/vinegar, they will remain hard in the
oil.)
To be reasonably fat free, blot them with a paper towel before using.
They're especially good on tortillas or sourdough with cheese and herbs,
zapped in the microwave (but not fat free due to the cheese).
