Italian Easter Pie

Easter Pie has many different names and even more recipes, depending on the section of Italy in question. To learn more, please read Mark’s article “Italian easter pie.”

Crust

* 2 cups all purpose flour
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 2 sticks unsalted butter, cut in cubes
* 2 eggs

Filling

*
6 eggs
*
salt and pepper to taste
*
8 ounces farmer cheese, fresh soft cheese or ricotta cheese click for note
*
2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
*
3 ounces shredded ham
*
3 ounces shredded salami
*
3 ounces shredded prosciutto

METHOD

Crust: Mix flour and salt and place in bowl of a food processor. Add butter cubes, one at a time to dough. After each cube pulse food processor just enough to work in butter. Do not overwork or dough will toughen. Dough should resemble coarse meal.

Add eggs. Pulse dough until it comes together in a ball. Cut dough in half so that one half is slightly bigger than the other. The smaller half will be the top crust. Wrap each in plastic wrap and rest dough for an hour in fridge. (If you don’t have a food processor, work in butter with a dough cutter or a fork and use your hands to integrate eggs.)

When dough is almost done resting, preheat oven to 350°F. Make filling: Beat eggs with salt and pepper. Blend cheese into eggs. Shred or slice meat, or put in food processor for a finer textured pie and add to egg/cheese mixture.

Roll out larger piece of dough on a floured board until it will fill a 9-inch pie shell. Add filling. Roll out smaller piece of dough until it will cover top. Crimp around edges to seal it.

If you’d like, you can brush the top with an egg wash, (beaten eggs). This will give it a sheen when it bakes. Finally, poke holes or slits in the top crust to allow the steam to vent.

Cook in preheated 350°F oven or 45 minutes.

Yield: 1 pie

Famine Visions USA

March 30, 2009
Glynda Lomax

In December of last year (2008) I had a series of visions about a devastating famine that is coming to America. In talking with other ministers in Oklahoma, I discovered a number of them have also seen famine visions. Here is what I was shown:

December 1st:

I was looking down into a big soup pot and could smell beans, but it was mostly water. I could feel famine all around and that people were starving to death along with their children. I saw bare cupboards, nothing in them but one or two spices. I was standing up when this vision came and it was so powerful it almost knocked me to my knees. Most of the visions I have come during worship when I am on my knees.

December 2nd:

I was sitting on my couch when the next visions came. I saw people in the streets cooking over open fires in pots. What they were cooking smelled horrible and yet they were so excited just to have anything at all to eat. Their eyes were wild with hunger. I saw great, open sores on the children. I didn’t see any small children at all, these were all probably 11 years old or older, but they were covered in large, open sores. They all wore old, ragged clothing and the sky was gray. It seemed to be cold outside.

I looked into one woman’s eyes and saw a combination of desperation and madness. She was cooking in one of the pots and somehow I knew she was cooking the entrails of a dog. She was so happy to have something to eat, though the smell coming from that pot would not make you think it was anything you would eat at all.

I saw people dropping in the street and just dying there from starvation. Others just walked past them, they were all kind of scuffling along like they were in shock.

There was terrible desperation in the eyes of those begging people. It was heartbreaking to look at. America, once so plentiful, was reduced to a third world country status. People starving and dying in the streets like in Africa. I felt helpless to save them.

Father, Why am I being shown such terrible things?

“Tell My People, Daughter.

Warn My People this is coming so they can prepare and be ready!

Tell them I said to get ready to help those who are unsaved for the end is very near now.

Tell them to cling not to their own lives, but be willing to lay them down for a higher glory, for MY glory!

Tell them to give all even when they themselves are in need for many will die and go to hell in that time and those left behind will experience a fate even worse than that. The Beast, the False Prophet - all that was foretold in Revelations is about to come true. Fear not their faces, for I will protect you.

Tell them, My Child. Tell them though you know many will not listen. Many hard-hearted ones will perish in that time but others will listen. I will open the hearts of those who have ears to hear and those who are being interceded for.

Tell My People I said to Pray diligently for those you love so they will not be lost in that time for many will want to take the Mark of the Beast and if they do there is no turning back for them.

Tell them!

Not long after, I think it was a few nights later, I had another vision - it was of a nuclear attack.

I was looking at a skyscraper and inside I could see there was a party or celebration of some sort going on. I saw a woman with dark hair pinned up dressed in a long blue sequined dress and a man in a suit talking to her. Many people were around them at the party and they were all talking. I looked up and over the building I saw a nuclear missile headed directly for the building and the city it was in. I don’t know what city it was, I did not recognize the skyline, but it was completely dark in the vision I saw, so it happened at night. It was obvious no one at the party had even the slightest clue the attack was coming.

I know others who claim to be unbelievers who have been having visions of nuclear attack on America for the last seven or eight years. The visions are always the same and they come like nightmares to them. They are both men and neither of them is a fearful person, they are both very scientifically minded and highly intelligent. I believe God is warning even His chosen who do not yet know they are chosen. One of them sees the attack on a specific city and an airplane falling from the sky, the other sees multiple simultaneous attacks and complete devastation in those cities. It is so bad he won’t even describe what he sees to me.

God led me the beginning of this month to move to Texas. I drove around for about a week praying every day while staying in a motel until I found where He wanted me. All I knew was that it was North Texas, I didn’t even know what town I was going to until He showed me in my spirit after that week. He led me to a small rent house, but the interesting thing is, the man I rented it from just completed a series of five books. They comprise a story about the two final witnesses, and he said he hasn’t been able to get the story out of his head for forty years, so he finally wrote it. In the last book, there is a nuclear attack on America. I have only read Book 1 so far, but God has told me the story is indeed from Him.

Many, many people are being shown both the famine and the nuclear attacks in visions and dreams. Most of us don’t even know each other, there’s no way this can be coincidence. My prayer is that God will open the hearts of others to see what is coming and show them how to prepare.

Coming Government Takeover of Food

Myths and Facts: .R. 875 The Food Safety Modernization Act
Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 – bill status

March 30, 2009
World Net Daily

"Recession gardens" are springing up everywhere. There's always been a home gardening passion among many Americans, and farmer's markets are a familiar part of American life. However, this is something new.

In response to the soaring cost of food, more Americans are turning back to their roots – literally. Mail order seed giant Burpee Seeds reports record demand for garden vegetable seeds. Cable TV shows on home gardening are suddenly popular beyond the core of committed "grow your own" types. The healthy food movement has been lifted beyond its core of Agbiz rejectionists. Websites catering to those thirsting for basic knowledge on home gardening "how to" are flooded with new visitors.

The "recession garden" has arrived in your backyard (or one near you) echoing the "victory garden" of World War II.

Both big government and big business are alarmed – and both are working to control this phenomenon. What's in the works threatens a government definition of what is "food" and proposes regulations amounting to a government takeover of the production, transportation and sale of food in this country for the benefit of Big Ag.

First, Michelle Obama swings a shovel into action, tearing out the White House lawn to plant a vegetable garden. In response, politicians all over rush to show they are backyard farmers too.

Then the leftist think tanks swing into action. Building on the Salmonella outbreak linked to nine deaths from peanut products late last year, a study released last week by the Trust for America's Health (in conjunction with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation) called food safety in the U.S. "plagued with problems." The study found that the American economy lost $44 billion in medical care and lost productivity because of unsafe food and called on the Obama administration to create a new Food Safety Administration and double (from $542 million in FY 2009) federal funding to insure food safety.

Not coincidentally, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., introduced HR 875 to establish a new Food Safety Administration to "protect the public health" and "ensure the safety of food." Rep. DeLauro believes that the FDA is not effective enough with the current laws governing food safety, so HR 875 grants broad new powers to the new FSA. DeLauro is a former chief of staff to Sen. Chris Dodd. Her husband, Stan Greenberg, is a leftist consultant whose corporate clients include Monsanto.

DeLauro is introducing food safety reform legislation which would modernize food safety laws and restructure food safety efforts by splitting the Food and Drug Administration into two separate agencies. DeLauro is also author of the controversial HR 875 bill that some see as another attempt to wipe out non-hybrid, open-pollinated seeds. (Mark Wilson / Getty Images)

This bill – if passed – would give FSA inspectors the right to enter, anywhere in the world, any premises of any food establishment to inspect and determine whether the product of that food establishment should be sold to American consumers.

And you and I say, "Great! Who wants to eat tainted food products whether from American or foreign sources?" Having established the always popular posture of the federal government protecting you against Big Food, the author of the bill hopes you read no further.

I did read further, and here's what I found.

HR 875 defines "food establishment" (among other things) as any "facility ... that processes food or a facility that hold, stores, or transports food or food ingredients." The bill also defines "food production facility" as "any farm, ranch, orchard, vineyard, aquaculture facility, or confined animal-feeding facility." The bill empowers the new FSA to promulgate regulations further defining what "food" is, and regulating the manner of its growth, processing and delivery to the consumer.

The companion Senate Bill (SB 425) introduced by Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, sheds more light on the true goal of all this. Her bill requires "traceability" in these words:

The traceability system shall require each article of food ... to be identified in a manner that enables the Secretary to retrieve the history, use, and location of the article through a recordkeeping and audit system ...

Taken together, these bills envision federal government definition of what is "food" and the requirement that, if you produce this "food," you will have to provide the paperwork to document that you produced it according to the regulations of the FSA.

Basically, don't sell, or even give, the produce from your "recession garden" to anyone – or you're in a heap of trouble.

HR 875 provides a $1 million fine for each infraction of the "rules" or "orders" of the FSA for each day that such infractions are deemed by the FSA to exist. SB 425 provides a fine of $100,000 for each violation of any order or regulation of the FSA and for each day that such violation occurs.

Small farmers and food processors (jams and jelly folks, for example) would be out of business if these bills are passed into law. Ditto farmers' markets, and, potentially any individual who sells or even shares the bounty of a home garden.

If these bills pass into law, Big Ag Biz would increase its stranglehold on the food business, and big government would expand its swarm of officers bedeviling every private pursuit of happiness.

The M.O. for this government takeover of "food" for the benefit of bigger government and big business is certainly familiar – it is playing out in energy and health care, too.

As Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel famously admitted, there is no "crisis" that is not an opportunity to advance the agenda of bigger government.

So … what of the produce from the White House garden? Without an army of clerks and "traceable" paperwork, could the veggies from the White House even be given to the homeless shelter down the street? And what of the Obama voters in the "healthy food," back-to-the-Earth community? They will be collateral damage as the FSA takes over "food" for Monsanto. Is this the "change" they want us to believe in?
