| The WORD of the Week |
Matthew 3:7-10
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.
And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

Rockel! Read that you wanted recipes, and am very excited to get some of yours. But that wouldn't be fair, so here's a really tasty one for:
Sweet Potato and Peanut Stew
¼ c peanut oil1
1 onion, chopped
1 red or green bell pepper, chopped
1 fresh jalapeno or Serrano pepper, seeded and minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 packed T minced peeled fresh ginger
1 T chili powder
1 t ground cumin
½ t red pepper flakes
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 ½ “ pieces
1/3 c tomato paste2
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 small zucchini (1” in diameter) trimmed and sliced
½ c peanut butter, chunky or smooth, preferably unsalted3
Heat oil, then add the onion and peppers, and cook until veggies are tender but not brown, about 7-10 minutes.
Add garlic and ginger, cook another 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes, cook ~ 1 minute
Add sweet potatoes, tomato paste, and salt and pepper to taste.
Add enough water to barely cover the veggies and mix well. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 45 mins, stirring occasionally.
*if you wanted to add meat, during this time would be where you cook your 12 oz ground beef or turkey in 1 t oil, then set it aside till the 45 mins is up, then add.*
Add the zucchini4 and cook another 15 mins.
Stir 1 c of the stewing liquid into the peanut butter in a separate bowl until smooth, then add to the pot. Mix well and cook another 15 minutes. Season with Black pepper and salt to taste.
Serve with hot rice or couscous. Quinoa would work really well too.
1: I used Canola. I bet peanut would help, but whatever. It was tasty with canola
2: I just used 1 whole can. It may be ½ c instead of 1/3. I can live with that.
3: Chunky is the way to go. Then you get little bits of peanuts, and that’s cool. Whole Foods has unsalted PB. I bet other places do as well, but Whole Foods is awesome.
4: I added a squash as well. It worked. I bet other tasty veggies would too…thinking eggplant, maybe some other stuff…
Lemme know what you think! There will be a few more heading your way, but lemme know if you want them in comment, blog, or email attachment form.

Greg! (Always) good to hear from you. That sounds absolutely delicious. I'll definitely give it a try, hopefully this coming weekend if not sooner.
Format doesn't matter too much to me. I had originally said blog comment is preferred so that all can see, but if you blog it I can link to it, or if you prefer to email I can blog it myself (referencing you, of course). As long as it gets out there somehow. I can't wait to hear more.

Ummm...if there's any way YOU are working with the Hoff, then I will be out there in a flash.
Thanks for stalking my blog, even when I haven't posted in like 14 years. Seriously, I do wanna come visit you soon!

What recipe post did I miss? What kind of recipes are you compiling? Are you the next Martha Stewart, or more Rachel Ray?

I see Rockel as more the Justin Wilson type.
How Ya'll Are?

| Lyrics of the Week |
ON THE NICKEL
by Tom Waits
("I'd like to do a new song here. This is eh, it's about downtown Los Angeles on 5th Street. And eh all the winos affectionately refer to it as The Nickel. So this is kind of a hobo's lullaby.")
sticks and stones will break my bones,
but i always will be true, and when
your mama is dead and gone,
i'll sing this lullabye just for you,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never comb their hair,
well they're lined up all around the block,
on the nickel over there.
so you better bring a bucket,
there is a hole in the pail,
and if you don't get my letter,
then you'll know that i'm in jail,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never say their prayers,
well they're sleepin' like a baby,
on the nickel over there.
and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star,
well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit,
just like punchlines between the cars,
and i know a place where a royal flush,
can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson,
is on the nickel over there.
so ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain,
and you're always late for supper,
and man you let me down again,
i thought i heard a mockingbird, roosevelt knows where,
you can skip the light, with grady tuck,
on the nickel over there.
so what becomes of all the little boys,
who run away from home,
well the world just keeps gettin' bigger,
once you get out on your own,
so here's to all the little boys,
the sandman takes you where,
you'll be sleepin' with a pillowman,
on the nickel over there.
so let's climb up through that button hole,
and we'll fall right up the stairs,
and i'll show you where the short dogs grow,
on the nickel over there.
