What a week for Ireland. Fighting in the North - rugby wins in Scotland... I've been thinking a lot about Ireland since we returned. It doesn't help that Delta keeps dropping flight prices to Dublin - making it cheaper to fly to Dublin than anywhere in the Midwest! Ireland won extra points in my heart by having Diet Coke instead of Coke Lite (at least in the North). I felt akin to the way the ministry is being done there. That "you have a talent/passion in that area and it fits with our ministry goal? Go ahead and we'll support you." It's something we've worked to embrace here, something I feel pretty strongly about - maybe because I'm not a true Bible college grad :-) For now, I'll continue to pray for the wee island, for it's people, the people I met.... and save up my pennies for a return visit!
SWEET POTATO AND PINTO BEAN TACOS adapted from thugkitchen.com ....but there is offensive language on the site (and in the recipes) - so you've been warned! 3 cups of cooked pinto beans (about 2-15 ounce cans) 1 teaspoons of coconut or olive oil (Olive oil is what I had) ½ cup veggie broth or water (water....) 2 teaspoons smoked paprika or chili powder (I went chili powder) 2 teaspoons blackstrap molasses (I used what I had in the cabinet) 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (I have both of these at home usually, went with lemon juice this time around) 2-3 garlic cloves 1 pound of sweet potatoes (this should be about 2 cups when you chop it all up) ½ of a yellow onion 1 teaspoon coconut or olive oil salt to taste soft corn tortillas standard taco toppings that you like to add. Warm the first teaspoon of oil in a medium pot. Add the beans, water, chili powder, molasses, vinegar, and garlic. Get it to start bubbling slowly for about 5 m...
