| 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's notes:
I, too, went with Canola. It was quite delicious even without the peanut oil, but later on I'd like to try it w/ peanut.
I went with a traditional white onion because it was my first go at the recipe. I'm a big fan of sweet onions (though I usually opt for the classic when stewing), but wasn't sure how that would meld with everything else. On the next attempt I think I'll go sweet because I underestimated the kick the fresh jalapeno, cumin, and chili powder. Sweet and spicy is always a good combo.
I used a red bell pepper. Prettier color.
Tips for the jalapeno: wash your hands thoroughly with warm water directly after seeding and mincing. If you've got sensitive skin, like me, doing so will prevent a lovely burning sensation on the fingers and hands. Also, if you're a dumbass, like me, doing so will prevent you from experiencing that sheer joy that can only be experienced from tear gas or mace, when you rub your eye minutes later.
I also just tossed the whole can of tomato paste in without measuring. Close enough. It's not a science.
I, unfortunately, used salted peanut butter (chunky, definitely the way to go). To offset, I simply cut back heavily on the "salt to taste." It seemed to work.
I'm a meat guy, so I added about a pound of ground turkey (cooked) when I added the zucchini and squash (I really wanted eggplant, but the selection wasn't that great). Because of the extra ingredients (pound of meat and a sizeable squash), I had to add a little more water.
Absolutely Delicious! Even re-heated the next day at the office.

| 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.
