Easter .vs Passover - The Battle For The Holy Land

From Old Testament days there were sacrifices to God which involved some sort of yummy fatted calf cooked medium well with usually yams and a water,  Just how Yahweh liked it!  Suddenly, the New Testament rolls into town and the sacrifices disappear in a big buildup to to the Last Supper. (Take notice of how food plays such a critical role in The Good Book)

We've gathered Jahovahs, Gentiles, Jews, Samaritans, Sumarians, rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodist as witness to the the yummy biblical beef and holy ham that nearly made the Bible God's greatest cookbook.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 




OLD TESTAMENT - The Ten Condiments

Image CaptionThe skies opened up and upon the great rock were scribed the Ten Condiments. The Lord seeing as how He lead his people from Egypt toward the promised land demanded only the best dressings upon his fatted calf. "Moses," he said "bring unto my people the yums-yums inscribed upon these tablets, sacrifice those animals in my name and bake me a cake as fast as you can."  And So the condiments came to be.

The Lord's Sauces:

    1.  Ketchup

    2.  Mustard

    3.  Salsa (THAT'S RIGHT!! For The Unleavened Taco's)

    4.  Salad Dressing

    5.  Mayo (None of That Miracle Whip Shit or Leprosy For Sure!!!)

    6.  Butter

    7.  Barbeque Sauce (Amen!)

    8.  Relish

    9.  Tabasco Sauce

    10.Sour Cream


 

 



NEW TESTAMENT - The Lamb of God

This holy hogget is something to savor. We all know about holy cow, but this spiritual hunk of loin provides fulfillment of the soul! So it's time to stuff your face on this sacrificial shank, praise the Lord and pass the potatoes cause this future sweater is gonna take away the sins of the world...

"BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD." -JOHN 1:36

"BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD." EMERIL 12:32 PM

INGREDIENTS:

1 Full Rack of Lamb

Olive Oil, As Needed

2 Tablespoons Rosemary, Chopped

2 Tablespoons Thyme, Chopped

Salt and Pepper to Taste

1 Cup Red Wine

3 Garlic Cloves, Chopped

1 Tablespoon Butter

 

 

Preparation:

Make sure your butcher has removed the chine bone from the rack.  Most do but double-check. The chine bone is part of the spine and if not removed you will be unable to cut the roast into individual chops. Trim some of the excess fat from the rack but don’t overdo it. You need some fat to naturally baste the meat while it cooks and furnish some drippings to make a sauce. Lightly brush the rack with olive oil. Then sprinkle both sides with half of the rosemary and thyme, and salt and pepper.  Place the rack in a roasting pan, preferably with a grate on the bottom, and then into a preheated 375 degree oven.

 The next thing people often ask is how long to cook it. Forget time. Cook by temperature. Remove the lamb when a thermometer placed dead center in the meat reads 125 degrees for rare, 130° for medium rare and 135° for medium.       

When the roast is finished, place it on a serving plate and cover it with aluminum foil. Roasts need to rest after cooking so the meat will re-absorb its juices. If you cut them immediately after cooking all of the juices will run out.  The foil will keep it warm while you make the sauce.      

For the sauce, place the roasting pan on top of the stove and turn the burner on high. Pour in the wine, bring to a boil and deglaze the pan, scraping the browned bits off the bottom.  Add the remaining rosemary and thyme, garlic, and salt and pepper. Reduce the sauce to at least half, add the butter at the end, and then strain it. Carve the roast into individual chops and pour the sauce over them. For a delicious variation, you can substitute homemade beef or veal stock for the wine, or better yet, use a combination of stock and wine.       

Finally, I can think of no better wine to go with lamb than Bordeaux.  Lamb is a hearty meat and needs a full bodied and equally strong wine to complement it.  Get the best quality and longest aged Bordeaux you can afford.  Bordeaux is a blend of predominantly cabernet sauvignon and merlot from the Bordeaux region of France. If you prefer Californian, then select a high quality, full bodied cabernet sauvignon.  Use the same type of wine for cooking and drinking.  Simply employ an inexpensive one for the purpose of the sauce.

Pope-Tarts

It's the holiest tart we know....  Not since Pope Pie I have we had such heavenly filling in a baked treat!  Behind the secret walls of the Vatican the College of Cardinals sampled thousands of fancy feasts so that one might be chosen to feed the church through the new century.  The holy fillings of preservatives will enlighten the soul while its sweet exterior of preservatives absolve you of your sins.

 

Ingredients:

4 Cups of Flour

1&3/4 Cups Vegetable Shortening

2 Tablespoons Sugar

1 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1 Teaspoon Salt (Kosher Of Course)

1/2 Cup Cold (Holy) Water

16 Tablespoons Jam (Any Flavor)

The Fisherman's Ring

 

 

In a large bowl, cut flour and shortening together with pastry blender or two butter knives, until completely blended (mixture will resemble crumbs). Add sugar, baking powder, salt, egg, vinegar and cold water. Mix with hands until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Divide dough into fourths, refrigerating the portions you are not working with yet.

Take first 1/4 of dough and roll out onto a floured surface. Cut into rectangles using a sharp knife. It is helpful to make a template the size you wish your poptarts to be, from cardboard or heavy plastic, so they will be a uniform size. Spread on tbsp. jam on one half of the rectangles, leaving a half inch or so on the edges without jam. Cover with the other half of the rectangles. Crimp edges with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 12 - 15 minutes or until the pie dough is evenly browned and cooked through. Cool completely and place into zip baggies for storage until you are ready to eat them. Repeat with remaining dough and jam until it is all completed.
