Ali’s Moroccan Spice Chickpeas (Tagine el Hummous)
T
his blend of spices typifies Moroccan seasoning, and transforms the dish’s simple ingredients into a complex offering. This dish can be made two ways, one that centers solely on the chickpeas, and one that incorporates vegetables to add more substance. Both versions are considered a side dish, but when served with couscous or rice they become a main course….
Ali’s Spinach Curry (Tarka Saag)
From the cookbook, Olive Trees and Honey: A Treasury of Vegetarian Recipes from Jewish Communities Around the World, “The Baghdadis of Calcutta used spinach with more frequency than did their non-Jewish neighbors. Indian Jews, however, did adopt their neighbors’ love of spices, which found their way into the cuisine, as exemplified by this dish. A tarka is a mixture of hot ghee or oil and spices. The essential oils in the spices are fat solvents, and the heat contributes to the release of flavors. This dish is commonly accompanied with rice.”…

Late for a Wedding
Grant is a bishop in our church. As bishop he is sometimes asked to perform a marriage. Over Christmas, and then at a party at our house about a month ago, a woman casually asked Grant if he would perform her marriage and then told him she would send him an invitation with details. Then, the couple decided to not send out invitations. Instead they sent an e-mail that he missed informing him of the time and date. Last Friday at 4:20 pm he received this message on his phone:
“Hi Bishop Beckwith. Um… this is (name of bride). My wedding, (well I’m running a few minutes late)…it’s kind of NOW.” (The wedding was supposed to start at 4 pm)
The calm tone the bride used was marvelous. The location was half an hour away and Grant was still at work. He left immediately and made it in record time. He wasn’t pulled over but I wonder how many times a cop has been given the excuse that the speeder was late for a wedding!
Falling Rainbows
Today Anna came running in from playing in the falling snow. She said, “MOM! Mom! I have something to show you that is really amazing!!!” We ran outside and she pointed this out and said with all of the excitement that only a five-year-old can express, “A rainbow fell on the floor!!!”
I almost didn’t come out when she asked me to. I almost just saw a cracked and pitted driveway in need of repair. I almost felt annoyed that someone leaked oil on our driveway. Instead, thanks to the perspective of a child I saw the gift and wonder of a rainbow that fell on the floor just for our enjoyment. Thank you Anna.
