Job 11:18-20


    [18] And you will feel secure, because there is hope;

        you will look around and take your rest in security. 

    [19] You will lie down, and none will make you afraid;

        many will court your favor. 

    [20] But the eyes of the wicked will fail;

        all way of escape will be lost to them,

        and their hope is to breathe their last.”



2 c AP flour

1/4 c sugar

1 T baking powder

1/4 t salt

1/4 t coarse black pepper 

1/4 dried chives

1/2 cup cold butter (1 stick put in freezer while oven preheats)

5-6 T milk 

1 T fresh lemon juice

2 T whole psyllium husk

2 eggs, beaten

In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Special Occasion Golden Rice

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Job 10:4-9


    [4] Have you eyes of flesh?

        Do you see as man sees? 

    [5] Are your days as the days of man,

        or your years as a man’s years, 

    [6] that you seek out my iniquity

        and search for my sin, 

    [7] although you know that I am not guilty,

        and there is none to deliver out of your hand? 

    [8] Your hands fashioned and made me,

        and now you have destroyed me altogether. 

    [9] Remember that you have made me like clay;

        and will you return me to the dust?



2 c sticky Cooked Rice

6 large Egg Yolks, divided

1 T Cooking Oil

1 c Peeled Shrimp

1 T White Wine 

1/3 c Celery, mince

1/3 c Onion, mince

1/3 c Carrot, mince

1/4 t Ground White Pepper, to taste

1 t Salt, To Taste

1 t Lemon Juice, to taste

1 t Green Onion, chopped


Begin by mincing the celery, onion, and carrots. Set aside.

 

In a separate bowl, combine the cooked rice with 3 egg yolks. Mix thoroughly by hand until the rice is well-coated with the egg yolks.

 

Cooking the Shrimp: Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium- high heat and spray with cooking oil. Add the peeled shrimp to the wok and stir-fry briefly. Pour in the white wine to eliminate any odor, continuing to stir-fry until the shrimp turn pinkish in color.


Stir-frying the Rice: Add the rice and egg yolk mixture to the wok with the shrimp. Stir-fry the mixture, breaking up any clumps of rice with the back of your spatula. Flatten the rice to ensure it’s in contact with the base of the cooking pan for even cooking. Now, add the minced celery, onion, and carrots to the wok, followed by the white pepper, salt, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

 

Create a well in the center of the rice mixture and pour in the remaining 3 egg yolks. Stir quickly to distribute the egg yolks throughout the rice, cooking until they are just set.

 

Toss in the chopped green onions and give the mixture a few more stirs to combine.

 

Taste the fried rice and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, white pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
