WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Matthew 5:13
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and be trodden under foot of men. [Salt has been used from time immemorial as an agent in the preservation of meats. The multitudes which heard Jesus were familiar with its use in curing fish. "The pickled fish of Galilee were known throughout the Roman world" (G. A. Smith). It is worthy of note that the salt of Palestine gathered from the marshes is not pure. Because of the foreign substances in it, it loses its savor and becomes insipid and useless, when exposed to the sun and air, or when permitted for any considerable time to come in contact with the ground; but pure salt does not lose its savor. The verse teaches that God's people keep the world from putrefaction and corruption. There was not salt enough in the antediluvian world to save it from the flood, in Sodom to save it from fire, nor in Canaan to preserve its people from destruction. It also teaches--as does experience--that a disciple may lose those qualities which make him salt.],
WHY I COOK…
At the end of my grade school experience at a performing arts elementary school my family moved. The closest thing to performing arts at this High School was a very good choir, which I joined immediately. Other classes on my schedule were French, Gym, and Algebra. Algebra…F – “We need to start you with the basics Mr. Edwards.” – so I went to beginning Math. Gym…F “Coach, I’m suppose to throw it to who, and is it suppose to be shaped like this?” – that was the first of Health class all 4 years. French…Incomplete “I don’t want to fail you dear, so please get out of this class now!” Home Economics is where I landed, and started this whole crazy fervor for food. When I graduated high school, I wrote a letter to a local chef who was well-known in our area. He took me on as his apprentice at 17 years old, and I stayed at the Windjammer Restaurant with him for 5 years. I then returned to work for him when he opened his own restaurant in Cincinnati, Chef Faulkner’s Supper Club. Thirty years ago I married my wife, and we moved to Chicago. Since then, I’ve had many jobs in Marketing, and now work in Real Estate, but food is still my passion and through cooking I find I can worship my living God. I’m hoping that through this blog I can share with you stories, money-saving tips, recipes, scripture and much more about who I am and why I cook.
