Name: Tom's Death By Basil Mayonnaise
Ingredients: 2 lg Habanero peppers; 6 Cloves (large) garlic; 1/2 c Fresh basil; 1 3/4 c Mayonnaise

There has been a long tradition which sees the mission of the Church primarily as obedience to a command. It has been customary to speak of 'the missionary mandate.' This way of putting the matter is certainly not without justification, and yet it seems to me that it misses the point. It tends to make mission a burden rather than a joy, to make it part of the law rather than part of the gospel. If one looks at the New Testament evidence one gets another impression. Mission begins with a kind of explosion of joy. The news that the rejected and crucified Jesus is alive is something that cannot possibly be suppressed. It must be told. Who could be silent about such a fact? The mission of the Church in the pages of the New Testament is more like the fallout from a vast explosion, a radioactive fallout which is not lethal but life-giving.

INGREDIENTS

2	lg	Habanero peppers
6		Cloves (large) garlic
1/2	c	Fresh basil
1 3/4	c	Mayonnaise

INSTRUCTIONS

Collect the basil and wash and remove the leaves.  Allow to dry.  Measure
the basil.  1/2 cup is a 1/2 cup measurer packed with as much basil as you
can get into it.
Remove the stems and seeds from the habanero.  Be careful...
Mince the basil, habaneros and garlic in a food processor until finely
minced.
Mix with the mayonnaise (I prefer low-fat Hellmans).  Refrigerate at least
2 days for the flavors to marry. I keep it in a 1 pint canning jar.
The basil flavor is dominant with just enough heat from the peppers to let
you know they are there.  This goes great on many types of sandwiches.
The recipe was prompted by a comment from someone that basil can be used
instead of lettuce on sandwiches.  This is an easy way to accomplish this
and get a little heat at the same time. It is delicious.
