Hello again and welcome back. This week we will
have a recipe for vegetarians which will be perfect for Thanksgiving Day
dinner. Also i am inviting all of you to send me your favorite recipes and
suggestions for this news letter.
This is very good, and an excellent vegetarian
entree (although everyone else greatly enjoys it as a side dish).
Cook carrots: . Pour carrots into 3-4 quart
saucepan. . Add water to cover. . Cook over high flame until water comes to a
boil. . Lower flame to moderate and continue cooking until carrots are barely
tender when pierced with a fork (about 6 minutes). . Drain carrots in colander.
. Mash cooked carrots. (You should have 2 cups.) . Set aside until cool enough
to touch.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 4 - 6-cup
ring mold (or Bundt pan). Set aside
Make filling:
.
Melt butter in small skillet. . Add onions; saute
until tender. . Break eggs into mixing bowl; beat well. . Stir in mashed
carrots, reserved onions, and all remaining ingredients except filling. . Pour
into well-buttered Bundt pan or ring mold.
Bake:
.
Place in oven. . Bake until knife inserted in
center comes out clean (about 1 hour). . Let stand 10 minutes at room
temperature.
Serve:
.
Unmold over serving plate. . To serve, fill center
of ring with cooked mushrooms, peas, or vegetable(s) of your choice.
Yield: 8 servings
Variation: Although it won't be anywhere near as
pretty, you can instead bake in a 9-inch baking dish (and serve from pan).
The Lesson Of The Geese (Milton Olsen)
This fall, when you see geese heading south for
the winter flying along in the "V" formation, you might consider what
science has discovered as to why they fly that way.
FACT: As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an
"uplift" for the bird immediately following. By flying in the
"V" formation, the whole flock has at least 71% greater flying range
than if each bird flew on its own.
LESSON:People who share a common direction and
sense of community cNan get where they are going more quickly and easily
because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.
FACT: When a goose flies out of formation, it
suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone. It quickly
gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in
front of it.
LESSON: If we have as much common sense as a
goose, we stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. We are
willing to accept their help and give our help to others. It is harder to do
something alone than together.
FACT: When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates
back into the formation, and another goose flies to the point position.
LESSON: It is sensible to take turns doing the
hard and demanding tasks and sharing leadership. As with geese, people are
interdependent on each other's skills, capabilities, and unique arrangements of
gifts, talents, or resources.
FACT: The geese flying in formation honk from
behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
LESSON: We need to make sure our honking is
encouraging. In groups where there is encouragement, the production is much
greater. The power of encouragement (to stand by one's heart or core values and
encourage the heart and core of others) is the quality of honking we seek. We
need to make sure our honking is encouraging and not discouraging.
FACT: When a goose gets sick, wounded, or shot
down, two other geese will drop out of formation with that goose and follow it
down to lend help and protection. They stay with the fallen goose until it dies
or is able to fly again. Then, they launch out on their own, or with another
formation to catch up with their flock.
LESSON: If we have the sense of a goose, we will
stand by our colleagues and each other in difficult times as well as in good!
