Balaboosta - Perfect recipes from a perfect housewife

I can't wait until this cookbook comes out in print.  I've tried several of the recipes, and while it is convenient to take the iPad to the kitchen, I want to own the "tree" version of this one.

 Balaboosta, by New York restaurateur (and Chopped Champion) Einat Admony, is a treasure-trove of stories and recipes.  I like the way the book is divided...sections for The Grown Up Table, Kidding Around, Hurry, Hurry (Quick and Easy recipes), The First Cut is the Deepest (comfort foods), etc.

Since hot weather has set in here, I've been trying to think cool thoughts...and one of those thoughts is always "what do I want to eat, or drink?"  How about Rose' Sangria?  Sounds cooling, doesn't it?  Frozen peaches, rose', mint syrup, fresh mint leaves, lime wedges, and an optional shot of vodka.  That's the first recipe in the book, and you would do well to mix up a pitcher of Sangria and settle in to read the rest of the book...post-it flags in hand.

  1. WILL MANKIND BE AFFECTED BY GLOBAL WARMING? BY STEVE FINNELL

    Will mankind be affected by global warming in the future? Have men suffered from global warming in the past? The short answer is yes.

    Jude 1:7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire. (NASB) 2 Peter 2:6 and if He condemned the cites of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made an example to those who would live ungodly lives thereafter.(NASB) Genesis 19:Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven,(NASB)

    Yes, men can cause temperatures to rise due to their behavior.

    2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.(NASB)

    Global warming is inevitable. Controlling man-made CO2 emissions will not prevent global warming.

    In the end most people in the world today will experience extreme heat.

    Revelation 20:14-15 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.(NASB)

    Yes, you can escape the extreme heat to come. How? Have your name written in the book of life.

    People in the book of life need to be qualified. Qualifications: FAITH John 3:16---REPENTANCE Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19---CONFESSION Romans 10:9---WATER IMMERSION Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, 1 Peter 3:21

    Revelation 20:10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.(NASB)

    Heat is on the way.

    Matthew 41, 46 "Then He will say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; 46 These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.(NASB)

    It will be hot for the unrighteous.

    Men can only become righteous through Jesus Christ. His terms for pardon. His qualifications.

    Man-made global warming is a hoax. There has not been a trend toward global warming in the last 100 years. God controls the weather and climate, not men.

    Without Jesus as Lord and Savior all men will feel God's heat.
