No More Green Chili
Author: Albert Quintana
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1456730215
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
Not to brag, but I truly believe that my Mother is the best cook in the world. Bar none, she has a great heart when it comes to making her best cuisine. Her specialty is green chili. In Spanish it's pronounced chile verde. This homemade chili verde could be the main dish eaten at any given meal, but add a homemade tortilla and a side of frijoles (beans) or a side of fried potatoes or maybe mashed; it was a meal to die for. One of my favorite dishes was smothered bean burritos. So anything you added to the green chili was always a feast The process of making the best dish in world comes quite simply by getting a pound of pork butt and cutting it into small one half inch squares. Then fry the squares until they are golden brown. Using the grease from the fried pork you then brown the flour to make the gravy, add your green chili, preferably jalapenos, diced tomatoes, Mexican oregano, cominos, garlic salt, and of course salt and pepper. I can't give it all away because then it would be giving away an old family recipe and that would be taboo. Making great meals is a learned thing. By this I mean that Mom learned to make green chili from a Mexican woman from Guanajuato, Mexico back in 1960. This is the year that Mom and Dad started a Mexican restaurant business in Denver. The restaurant was called Quintana Roo. Whoever ate her chili, always would craved for more. The neighboring kids would always hang around to see if Mom would roll them a quick burrito and then they would walk away with the biggest smiles. In 1927 Great Grandfather Francisco Duran visited Henry, Manuelita and the kids prior to Mom's birth. He shared with them a story about a humongous garden that was full of green chili. Within this garden the chili was thriving, growing in abundance. Then one day the chili started dying off. The garden was over taken with weeds and eventually became nonexistent. The metaphor here is that Grandpa Francisco equated the garden to our nation and the people who work, as the chili. When you take the chili out of the garden then your garden is dead. When you take the worker, laborer, bracero, miner, gardener, lumber jack out of our nation, you have nation that is dying. Who built the Great pyramids, The Panama Canal, the Empire State Building, Hoover Dam, and that Golden Gate Bridge? Yes you've guessed it, the Chili Verde of our society. Have fun reading this book. The stories are real and only reflect a part of your history. We all need a little chili verde in our lives, so enjoy its flavor. May it be hot, medium or mild

Discover for yourself: It really IS more blessed to give than to receive! The Power of Blessing is more than an encouragement to bless. It shows you many ways you can be a blessing to those around you.

Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing (1 Peter 3:9 NIV). The Power of Blessing: • Presents practical applications about how to bless others and receiving blessings. • Teaches the difference between truth and fact. • Shares humorous and inspirational testimonies. • Reveals the importance of speaking God’s intentions as to how things should be. • Breaks generational curses by learning how to bless. Your heavenly Father is the redemptive God who delights in bringing things back into His divine order. Through learning how to bless, you can participate in this redemptive process. By actively living a lifestyle of blessing, you will see changes in the hearts of those you bless—as well as in yourself!

Preaching to Latinos
Author: Michael Kueber
Publisher: CUA Press
ISBN: 081323624X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
There is a wide and growing gap in the Catholic Church in the United States between the clergy, who are mostly of European descent, and the large percentages of Catholics who identify as Latinos. While the US Church has made a concerted effort to build Hispanic ministries, many clergy and lay ministers are still ill-equipped to understand the cultural background of their parishioners, especially the large numbers who are foreign born. Because of this disconnect, the Church risks missing "the Hispanic Moment" in the US Church, in which the faith and traditions of these newest waves of US immigration could not just exist in parallel to English-language congregations, but enrich and enliven the faith of the whole community while passing on the faith to subsequent generations. Learning Spanish--while helpful--is not enough. There are intercultural competencies that can only be developed through practice, but it also helps already-busy clergy to have a concise guide. In addition to knowing the scholarly literature on cross-cultural preaching and Hispanic culture, Father Michael Kueber has twenty years of experience serving first generation Hispanic immigrants and their second generation children. In Preaching to Latinos, Kueber provides the readers with best practices for preaching to and leading their churches. As a member of an ecumenical community, he is able to speak to members of all Christian denominations.
