He is selling a book. Unless you buy, read and follow the book he is not telling you what to eat.

The book will not be forced on you.

You will not have to recite passages.

He will not come to your house and steal your macaroons.

He will not make restaurants take the salt shakers off the table.

No, he is just selling a book, big whoop.

The other things are stuff the fedgov has and would like to do. And they have the power to do so.

Are you as upset about that?

[Mrs. Don-o]

Thanks for this! I have big bunches of kale in my backyard--- all the chard and mustard has died down from the frost, but the kale's still flourishing.

I'll use that recipe and report back :o)

[Gamecock]

Are you as upset about that?

I am seething with anger.</snark>

[Lee N. Field]

2 lbs. of Kale with extended stems removed
2 tbsp. olive oil
5 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup of chicken broth
1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
Salt & pepper to taste

Needs bacon.

I took that Quizfarm.com theology survey and came out as John Calvin (93%). Seriously.

And I don't even believe in that TULIP balderdash. Must be something truly askew about that quiz.

Martin Luther, myself. And I also think something's askew with a quiz that puts me at 7% resemblance to both Augustine and Charles Finney.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Really? Predestined? I'm thrilled!

Beinst I won't have to judge, choose, or act, which are all pretty strenuous for a lazy-asterisk like me.

Tash! Tash! The Inexorable!

[Lee N. Field]

"I strive to control my blood pressure with a low sodium diet"

Really? People still believe this?

I suspect a lot of current official dietary advice will come to be view as utter quackery.

People should mind their own business. Warren can do as he likes as long as I can.

Take two bacon strips and call me in the morning. :)

Warren can do as he likes as long as I can.

As can the author of the above blog. As can I. And that's what we did.

People should mind their own business.

I thought we can do as we like? Or does that apply only in certain narrowly defined circumstances?

Take two bacon strips and call me in the morning. :)

Have an ambulance standing by - I'm a known substance abuser :D

Not sure I took the same exam. I scored 96% Reformed Evangelical.

According to my results I am a Reformed Evangelical. You take the Bible very seriously because it is God's Word. You most likely hold to TULIP and are sceptical about the possibilities of universal atonement or resistible grace. The most important thing the Church can do is make sure people hear how they can go to heaven when they die.

[Gamecock]

No thanks. I prefer S.O.S. on a biscut. Or two.

“Beyond that....would anyone listen to some minister discuss timing on a Ford F-150?”

Pretty much anywhere in the rural South the congregation would be appreciative of that topic.

My interesting son Bill makes a shake with orange juice, kale, and garlic. It is a horrible color and smells even worse.

However, I often use kale as a substitute for spinach whenever we have one but not the other. Bill made a soup for his English Literature project with ham, chicken broth, and kale. It was based on a recipe in “Beowulf.”

They said it was pretty good, but the leftovers were lost in the Great Refrigerator De-icing last night. I asked my husband to put it in the freezer, but he didn’t, and neither Bill nor I wanted to risk trying the soup today!

I was 100% Anselm. Fascinating.

[lupie]

LOL - love the pic!

If Warren ever read the bible he would know that Daniel put weight on with his “diet “

[toothfairy86]

Rick Warren should follow traditional Orthodox Christian fasting. But where’s the money in THAT?

[Gamecock]

Doo-oh!

You are correct!
