The secret ingredient

Commonly renowned chefs, as well as anyone with the cooking skills, will not precisely separate themselves from the full ingredient list and / or method of replicating a recipe for a popular food dish. The reasons for that are many. The acclaimed dish can be a centerpiece on a restaurant menu. The preparer believes that he can write a cookbook and that that particular dish could justify the value of the book. Perhaps the recipe is a family recipe, passed down by an ancestor (Aunt Lucy).

“Who am I to give Aunt Lucy’s gift to our family?”

However, there are chefs and food preparers who seem willing to ditch the ways and means to craft a coveted dish, but don’t tell you that they deliberately omitted or misrepresented a detail. A novice culinary saboteur might play with the cooking temperature, but what purpose would ruining the entire dish serve for a admirer of your kitchen? No. It is better for the vain to omit a single supporting ingredient (a secret ingredient).

“It seems that you plate, but it doesn’t taste the same, “said your admirer. You suggest it was very humid that day.” I dare to suggest: “Go ask your grandmother to teach you how to cook!” After all, your admirer suffers because of you.

Try this recipe: “Roasted Pumpkin, Chili Tamarind Glaze, and Crispy Quinoa.” Find the recipe online with that exact search. Suppose you left out the achiote or the Thai chili. Would the chef who originated the recipe approve? If you like to keep secrets, pray to God in secret. Web search Matthew 6: 5-8.

You just read a quote from Jesus Christ, written by his disciple, Mateo, who heard him say it. Prayer is your private conversation with God. Search the web for “The Lord’s Prayer,” which Jesus taught his disciples when they asked him how to pray to God. Think about how God perceives you when you pray to him in secret.

Suppose your child comes to you crying for something he wants. How do you react? Remember again, when your child ran up to you, hugged you, then looked into your eyes and said, “I love you!” Consider beginning your secret prayer to God like this: “Father, thank you for your grace in my life.”
