Sun Fudge !

You have heard of sun tea surely. Have you ever made sun-fudge?  Place 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips (Guittard) and one cube of organic butter in a half gallon glass jar. Put it in the window or another sunny place for a couple hours.

When the butter and chips are melted stir them until smooth. Add four cups powdered sugar ( cane, or maple or raw), two very  fresh organic eggs, and a tsp. of vanilla.

Stir until very smooth and the fudge comes away from the glass. Don't over-stir or it may separate.

Poor out into a small 9" cake pan, let it set up. Or you can refrigerate it. Better yet grab a spoon and dig in!

Ingredient list

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup butter

2 very fresh eggs

4 cups powdered sugar ( cane, raw, or maple)

1 tsp. vanilla (or almond)

Florence Nightingale 1860

" Diseases are not individuals arranged in classes, like cats and dogs, but conditions, growing out of one another. 

"  Is it not living in a continual mistake to look upon diseases as we do now, as seperate entities, which must exist, like cats and dogs, instead of looking upon them as conditions, like dirty and clean condition, and just as much under our control; or rather as the reactions of kindly nature, against the conditions in which we have placed ourselves?

"  I was brought up to believe that smallpox for instance, was a thing of which there was once a first specimen in the world, which went on propagating itself, in a perpetual chain of descent, just as there was a first dog, or first pair of dogs, and that smallpox would not begin itself, any more than a new dog would begin without there having been a parent dog.

"  Since then I have seen with my own eyes and smelled with my own nose smallpox growing up in first specimens, either in closed rooms or in overcrowded wards, where it could not by any possibility have been "caught", but must have begun.

"  I have seen diseases begin, grow up, and turn into one another. Now , dogs do not turn into cats.

"  I have seen, for instance, with a little overcrowding, continued fever grow up; and with a little more, typhoid fever; and with a little more, typhus, and all in the same ward or hut.

"  Would it not be far better, truer, and more practical, if we looked upon disease in this light (for diseases, as all experience shows, are adjectives, not noun-substantives):

     -True nursing ignores infection, except to prevent it. 

Cleanliness and fresh air from open windows, with          

unremitting attention to the patient, are the only defense

 a true nurse either asks or needs.

     -Wise and humane management of the patient is the

 best safegard against infection. The greater part of       

 nursing consists of preserving cleanliness.

     -The specific disease doctrine is the grand refuge of

 weak, uncultured, unstable minds, such as now rule       

 in the medical profession. There are no specific diseases;

 there are specific disease conditions."

Bechamp or Pasteur ?

"Bechamp's deep insight had taught him the connection between science and religion - the one a search after truth, and the other the effort to live up to individual belief. His faith had widened to a breadth incomprehensible to those who even suggested the appointment of a commission to recommend the placing on the Roman Index of his book Les Mycrozymas, which culminates in the acclamation of God as the Supreme Source. Bechamps teachings are in direct opposition to materialistic views. But his opponents had not the insight to see that the Creator is best demonstrated by understanding the marvels of [His] Creation."

So then, the materialistic view  - the Germ Theory - of Pasteur wins,      
 for a time, over the Truth found by Bechamp and discussed in
 Les Mycrozymas . 

Therefore, in these modern times we still lift up the materialistic
 view and fight against God by pasteurizing our food - milk,
 meat, vegetable, et. all.

We are so blind. God help us to see. 

Quote From "Ideas Have Consequences"

" The decision of modern man to live in the here and now is reflected in the neglect of aging parents, whom proper sentiment once kept in positions of honor and authority. There was a time when the elder generation was cherished because it represented the past; now it is avoided and thrust out of sight for the same reason. Children are a liability. As man becomes more immersed in time and material gratifications, belief in the continuum of the race fades, and not all the tinkering of sociologists can put homes together again. "

Written in 1948 it is a good description of today 2011. Christians have let go of their inheritance, and sold it for a here and now porridge.

It's never to late for redemption.

Wonky Pomegranate Corner Bread Cloth

Finished the bread cloth pomegranate corners  It was done for relaxation and fun. So the wonkiness is part of the fun. I concentrated on beginning and ending my threads neatly and relaxed about everything else. 

Thank you to Mary Corbet for the free design and a hint on where to get flour sack towels.

The reverse of work.
