Alan,
ReplyDeletePlease do not laugh but...what is porridge? We would call porridge a hot dish made with oats:oatmeal. Oats and water boiled until thick and eaten sweetened with sugar or honey, and milk, and butter.
And century egg and smiling fish??
I believe we have "denominational" differences... :)
I will teach you about collard greens and black-eyed peas.
Hi Jamie,
ReplyDeleteHahaha… For us, porridge is rice cooked in watery form just like your case; you have used oatmeal instead of rice. Our porridge is plain in tease so that we can go with those side dishes. Century egg is a kind of preserved egg while smiling fish is a kind of spicy canned fish. We used to have porridge during our Care Group meeting.
Yeah, you are right… if we take our eyes off Jesus and look at ourselves, what we used to do, what we are doing…, we are sure to find lots of denominational difference. That is what many churches are doing and are disunited by their denominational background. Praise God that we are united by His grace even though we are from different part of the world, because when we see His grace, like Apostle Paul did, everything that we do is of any value… denomination principles are different form of Pharisaic principle and they are dung…
BTW, what is “collard greens and black-eyed peas”…? Hahaha… funny, we can share the same heart from God and we cannot comprehend what each other eat eh?
Grace & Love to all at home…!
Hi Maurice,
ReplyDeleteHope this will be a blessing to you. BTW, try adding a desire amount of sugar if you want.
Blessing to all at home…
Alan,
ReplyDeleteToday we celebrate Thanksgiving Day; I am thankful for you and your family and all of the family of God that we've met through our sharing of Grace. May you be bountifully blessed by the abundance of the Life of Christ.
Hmmmm, collard greens are a dark green, leafy plant like cabbage but much darker. They should be cooked in water with the hock of a ham bone to season them. Black-eyed peas are the traditional Southern food to eat on New Year's Day for good luck. They are similiar to soybeans but with a "black-eye." They, too, are coooked with ham to season them. Many Southern foods are seasoned with ham because pork could be salted and cured and kept when fresh meat wasn't available or was too expensive. My grandparents were country farmers and many people in the South "put up" fruits and vegetables by canning them and stored cured or smoked meat. They didn't have grocery stores back then in the country and most people couldn't afford to shop there. My grandparents were born in 1903 & 1906 and lived through very poor times.
I like to eat the peas with a spicy dressing and chopped onion, bell pepper, jalapeno peppers,and pimento as a dip with tortilla chips. A modern take on a traditional food! We call it "Mississippi Caviar!"
Much love to you and yours.
