36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." The Unbelief of the People When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them.

37 Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him,

38 so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: "Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?" 

39 Therefore they could not believe. For again Isaiah said,

40 "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them." 

41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

42 Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue;

43 for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God. - John 12:36-43

6 Italian meat balls, recipe on this blog under Italian tab

5 pieces chopped Bacon, cooked crispy

Pinch of Red pepper flakes

Pinch of Fennel seed

1 Onion, sliced

1 T roasted Garlic

1/4 c Sauvignon Blanc

1 T Chicken base seasoning

32 oz. Water

4 medium Potatoes, cook in microwave, covered, 2 minutes on each side

1 c Heavy Cream

1 c Kale, chopped small

1/2 c Toscana Pecorino plus more for top of each bowl served

Sauté bacon, then add meatballs, kale, garlic, all seasonings and onions.

When onions are soft and meatballs are no longer pink, add a little of the water and wine to de-glaze pan. Then add rest of water, wine, cheese and cream. I kinda smashed the meatballs but you could leave them more chunky. This was easy and delicious!!
