![]() ![]() Paul the Jew was saying that here in Christ is finally shalom. When Paul, therefore, wrote “peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,” we can’t think he was merely referencing being okay with God and not fighting. What was lost at the fall was shalom, and the final restoration of all things was not just to be a return to God, but a return to shalom. The Israelites were redeemed as God’s people through God’s covenant, receiving God’s hesed (covenantal love), so that they could be a holy nation and worship God, all so that there might experience and share God’s shalom-an everything-as-it-should-be peace. God’s shalom is one of the main themes of the Old Testament. ![]() And shalom is a massive concept with much hope attached to it. The word “peace” meant more to Jews like Paul than just “on God’s side” or “not fighting with one another.” The word “peace” in Paul’s greetings is the Greek version of the Hebrew word shalom. Both of these are biblical ideas and correct, but we miss something substantial if we stop here. We assume that he’s mainly talking about the peace we have with God through salvation and the peace we have with one another through the gospel. ” What About “Peace”?īut what about peace? Of the two terms, this is the one I think we Gentile Christians often move past too quickly. Paul begins his letters with grace, then, because it is the essence of Christianity: “Grace to you God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Why? Because all of creation exists so that he could wonderfully display his grace. Grace is what God designed us to love as human beings. Rather, the most beautiful, appealing reality in the universe is a powerful, praise-worthy loving God who treats rebels better than they could’ve ever imagined. And it makes sense to us, doesn’t it? What’s the most beautiful, appealing reality in the world? Not just a powerful, praise-deserving God. That is the ultimate goal of the universe. All of that is ours not because of anything we’ve done, but all by God’s grace.Įven more, Paul in Ephesians 1:6 tells us that the whole forming of the world and work of salvation is ultimately to “the praise of the glory of his grace.” This means that all of history and salvation exists so that we may praise God, so that we may glorify God, but even more specifically so that we may glorify God for his grace. But the gospel is that God in mercy sent Christ so that sinners can be justified, so that those who deserve to be separated from God can be brought near to him, so that those who are enemies may become God’s friends, so that those are should face eternal punishment receive eternal life. ![]() We are saved by grace, meaning, we don’t deserve it, nor earn it. Grace is the word which best summarizes the Christian gospel as a whole. And I lean towards believing the apostle Paul knew this. In fact, I think “grace and peace” are two brilliant terms to summarize Christianity as a whole. ![]() So I personally can’t think these are throw away terms, nor that they’re just two semi-random Christian words he chose to always begin letters with. Even theologians and biblical commentators often brush it off as not too important, saying it is his “greeting” which was similar to a common greeting of the day, then moving on.īut Paul was a brilliant man, as his letters show. The apostle Paul begins each of his letters with some variation of the greeting “grace and peace.” Many of us have read this many times that we haven’t considered why he might be doing this. ![]()

![]() Thermador says the unique burner shape is designed for even heat distribution. Grates can be removed to reveal star-shaped burners.īurners are star-shaped, with tall bases designed to allow room for a sponge during rangetop cleaning. Three cast iron grates provide a continuous surface for your pots and pans, with enough space in the middle of the range to rest cookware when you take it off the heat. The PRD304GHU’s rangetop sports four sealed 18,000 BTU star-shaped gas burners and a porcelain cooking surface. The PRD304GHU isn’t brimming with customization options, but if you find it worth the extra cost, there are certainly several ways to build upon the looks, convenience, and function of this range. If the traditional weighted metal control knobs aren’t doing it for you, Thermador offers a Blue Metal Knob Kit (Model PAKNOBLU-MSRP $199) to give the option to increase the range’s visual interest. ![]() Hoping for greater rangetop versatility? You can nab a Thermador Professional Wok Ring Accessory (MSRP $99) or two, or a Professional Griddle Accessory (MSRP $139) to sit atop your existing burners. Both backguards are made of stainless steel. A 9-inch low backguard (Model PA30GLBH-MSRP $399) will protect the wall directly above the range, while a 22-inch high shelf backguard (Model PA30GHSH-MSRP $599) offers further wall protection, plus an additional shelf for storage. ![]() If you’re looking to add a backguard to your range, Thermador has two options for the PRD304GHU. Customizability Backguards, control knobs, and rangetop accessories Made up of sharp lines, cleanly welded corners, and all that stainless steel, the PRD304GHU should fit beautifully in most kitchens-so long as you like that high-end commercial style. ![]() ![]() ![]() In Smash, the bottoms of Steve's and Zombie's heads are oriented the way they were originally, with the texture not being flipped, while Alex, whose skin was designed for the bottom to be flipped, also has her skin as originally intended. In Minecraft, since the Beta 1.9 Prerelease the bottom textures of all skins were flipped vertically, and though the bottoms of skins such as Steve's and the Zombie's heads had details that were affected by this, they were never adjusted to appear how they were originally intended.Game & Watch, Steve is the second playable character to look almost identical to their original appearance, the first third-party character to do so, and the first to come from a conventional video game rather than an LCD game. The first were Banjo & Kazooie, created by the UK-based developer Rare, which are coincidentally also owned by Microsoft.This makes them the second DLC fighter that was created outside of Japan, as well as the second third-party character created outside Japan. Steve was created by the Swedish video game company Mojang Studios.One of Steve's victory poses has them build a house similar to ones found in Villages, stand outside of it, then close the door.Steve's character design is taken from their texture used in early Alpha builds of Minecraft, specifically prior to version "0.24_ SURVIVAL_TEST," rather than their current, beard-less design.A cinematic plays where the affected fighter is launched into a dark building filled with TNT, where they are attacked by Creepers and Zombies, producing multiple explosions. His final smash begins with him placing a giant piston in front of him, which extends to catch enemies in the attack.His up special is an Elytra, which he uses to glide.His down smash causes him to place lava out of a lava bucket in front of him, then behind.His up aerial is a quick swing above his head with a weapon.His forward aerial is a downwards swing with a weapon.He is shown using swords and various other weapons for tilt attacks, including his forward smash.As of now, which directional input each showcased attack belongs to is speculative, but the following examples are clearly shown off in the presentation: Steve has been shown using several tools from Minecraft in combat, and can seemingly use multiple weapons for the same attack.He also has the ability to produce minecarts, rails, powered rails, and redstone torches as his side special. Additionally, Steve can place redstone and a wooden pressure plate to detonate TNT.Crafting Tables can be spawned behind the playing field, which can linger after use, and Anvils are used as his down air and down throw when still having iron. Depending on the stage, the dirt can appear as white wool, sand (which does not fall), or ice. The only blocks he can place are dirt, oak planks, stone, iron blocks, TNT (as down special), and magma blocks (as up smash). Steve can place blocks, which crack and break automatically overtime after placing them.Weapons can be made of wood, stone, iron, gold and diamond. Available weapons and equipment include swords (jab, forward tilt/mobile jab, neutral air, short hop forward and back airs, and forward smash), fishing rods (grabs and back throw), axes (up tilt, up air, mining wood), pickaxes (dash attack, forward and back air, and mining iron and stone), shovel (mining dirt), lava buckets (down smash), and flint & steel (down tilt). ![]()

Red Lobster does have a good track record for addressing the needs of those who can’t have gluten, along with a host of other allergens. It seems Red Lobster has finally heard the cries of the gluten-intolerant with this gluten-free mix. Some of those have been gluten-free, no doubt pioneered by people fed up by not being able to indulge in America’s favorite baked good. In a world where people rave about Red Lobster’s cheesy, buttery, crisp on the outside, fluffy and airy on the inside biscuits so much that employees are sick of hearing about it, 3 million Americans who have celiac disease and even more who have a gluten intolerance have been left out of the warm biscuit hoopla.īefore Red Lobster started selling its mix-and even after, for those who like to bake from scratch- copycat recipes for the biscuits have popped up on the internet. Red Lobster has also been selling non-gluten-free versions of its biscuit mix, including variations like rosemary garlic, at retailers like Target for a while now. The biscuits you’d get at the restaurant are unfortunately not gluten-free. All those whose gluten intolerance has kept them from enjoying Red Lobster’s beloved cheddar bay biscuits, rejoice! The chain restaurant announced that starting this month, they will be selling a gluten-free version of their biscuit mix at Walmart stores nationwide. ![]() ![]() Alder trees are native to the West side of the Cascade Mountains in the states of Washington and Oregon. The wood is known for its durability and strength, making it the perfect material for the game. Maybe we can go talk about it and figure out a solution together.Īlder trees have been used for generations for making wooden blocks for the game Jenga. I’m not sure what this is supposed to be about, but it seems like you’re not very happy with the way things are going. Stack all of the blocks in levels of three placed next to each other along their long sides and at a right angle to the previous level. To set up the game, use the included loading tray to create the initial tower. Once all of the pieces are cut, you can sand the edges to make them smooth.Ī classic Jenga game consists of 54 precision-crafted, specially finished hard wood blocks. You can use a saw or a chop saw to make the cuts. You will need to measure and cut the lumber into identical lengths – each piece should be about 10 inches long. To make your own Jenga set, you will need 54 2×4 lumber pieces. This makes Jenga a unique and challenging game for all players. Each brick is a different size and weight, so no two games are alike. The Manufacturer recommended age is 8 years and up. The Product Dimensions are 23 x 663 x 638 inches, the Item Weight is 11 pounds, the ASIN is B014TCW2L4, and the Item model number is 01504-24-noAcc. Each new layer of three parallel blocks should be rotated 90° along the horizontal axis from the last layer. Then, stack the blocks in sets of three until you have built a tower that is 18 blocks high. To build a Jenga tower, first shake the blocks out onto a flat surface. The blocks within each layer are oriented in the same direction, with their long sides touching, and are perpendicular to the ones in the layer immediately below. To begin the game, the blocks are stacked into a solid rectangular tower of 18 layers, with three blocks per layer. The goal of the game is to be the last player to stack a block without causing the tower to collapse. The game of Jenga consists of stacking wooden blocks into a tower, then taking turns to remove one block at a time from the tower and stacking it on top. The game is played with 48 Jenga pieces, each of which is 8 feet long. It is similar to the classic Jenga game, but is much larger in size. Giant Jenga is a popular game that is often played at parties or other social gatherings. If you’re willing to put in the extra effort, sanding is definitely worth it. sanding also makes the pieces look nicer and more polished. Without sanding, your large Jenga set may not slide as easily and you may get splinters. How much does it cost to make a giant Jenga? It is also easy to sand and smells great. Each block should be 15″x2.5″x7″.Ĭedar is the best wood for giant Jenga because it is strong and lightweight. You can use 2×4’s or 2×3’s for your Jenga blocks, but 2×3’s are scaled correctly for the actual dimensions of each block.

Harvey shipped fruitcakes to servicemen in 13 foreign countries overseas during World War II. In 1956, Lucille Harvey won a recipe contest with the recipe known as “the fruitcake people like to eat.” She didn’t use any alcohol in the recipe, but brushed bourbon on the cake with a special brush, according to Anne Byrn’s 2016 masterwork cookbook, American Cake: From Colonial to Gingerbread, the Stories and Recipes Behind More Than 125 of Our Best-Loved Cakes. The Tampa Tribune has to print its recipe for Mrs. Alton Brown’s Free Range Fruitcake recipe on has 257 reviews, all five-star. I’m here to tell you: lots of people still make fruitcake at home. The haters never had a good homemade fruitcake with just enough spicy batter to hold together the dried or candied fruits and copious amounts of nuts, not to mention a judicious amount of brandy or bourbon. In these enlightened times, we can appreciate fruitcake for its history, utility and, yes, its deliciousness. They can be made up to three months in advance and aged in a tin or foil, improving with repeated spritzing or dosing with liquor. The advantage of fruitcake is its keeping quality. Buttermilk in the batter gives it a wonderfully tender crumb.įruitcakes have been around since the Middle Ages and possibly even as far back as Roman times. The cake recipe includes in its ingredients the grated zest of two satsumas and a lemon in the batter, and the juice of both citrus fruits in the glaze. Ragas was a wonderful cook, baker and craftsperson,” wrote Cappiello. Ragas had several other winning recipes that year, in “previous years and for many years after,” according to Paula Cappiello, past secretary for the annual fair and festival. ![]() The recipe took third place in the 1976 Plaquemines Parish Fair & Orange Festival’s Women’s Division, and Mrs. A vigorous advertising campaign ensued, and everyone was crazy for Bacardi Rum Cake.Īn exceptional version of rum cake, known as Satsuma Rum Cake and created by the late Antoinette Ragas of Buras, Louisiana, was discussed by author Jude Theriot in his 1983 La Meilleure de la Louisiane/The Best of Louisiana cookbook. It was such a hit that the company’s corporate chef made one to serve to Bacardi executives. A neighbor invited to a party at Walker’s house brought a cake made with Bacardi’s dark rum in the batter and glaze. The cake was created when Bacardi’s then-president William Walker was entertaining at his home in Miami, according to the best-selling The Cake Mix Doctor. The incredibly popular Bacardi Rum Cake, based on a yellow cake mix, was introduced in 1976 - relatively speaking, fairly recently. Compared to fruitcakes, the rum cakes we know today are mere youngsters. American rum cakes today tend to be pound or butter cakes with rum in the glaze and, sometimes, the batter. The reporter was informed that more people would eat that fruitcake than would ever read the guy’s article. Sorensen’s family, owners of Baker Maid, has baked Creole Royale Fruit Cake in New Orleans for more than 50 years. Some smart-alecky Times-Picayune reporter had the bad taste to say something snippy about fruitcake to one of Greg Sorensen’s forefathers. It became fashionable to decry the fruitcake. In the 1970s and 1980s, late-night comedians led the anti-fruitcake chorus. Both use brandy, bourbon and rum to flavor and preserve them. ![]() The great holiday cakes are in their own special league, and fruitcakes and rum cakes are in another category altogether. ![]() Once a year, we indulge our families and friends by creating rich, indulgent desserts with expensive ingredients - often dishes that a great-great-grandmother or a favorite aunt made.

In this case, there was no need to mess with perfection. It's unclear why Field Roast has added all the extra plant proteins that created this texture when the wieners still contain vital wheat gluten (meaning people with gluten intolerance still can't eat them). The Signature Stadium Dog has a strange, almost crumbly texture. There is a massive difference in the flavor and texture of these two hot dogs, firmly placing this brand in the middle of the pack. The latter comprises: "Filtered water, vital wheat gluten, expeller pressed safflower oil, yeast extract, organic expeller pressed palm fruit oil, barley malt extract, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, paprika color, spices, sea salt, onions, wheat flour, garlic, natural smoke flavor, celery seed, paprika oleoresin." Nathans is a New York institution famous for its annual Coney Island hot-dog-eating contest on July 4. While these are tofu-based, they contain wheat protein, meaning they are not gluten-free. They also pack in 7 grams of fat, 15 grams of protein, and "only" 396 milligrams of sodium, so if you can get past the taste, these are a good, healthy choice.

And whenever the Ruinous Powers prepare for a new assault on the south the Northmen put aside their petty disputes and rivalries and unite behind their Champions, ready to fight and die in the name of their Gods. No single Lord holds sway over the nomadic northern tribes, although men and monster alike are increasingly drawn to fight for King Throgg, a Troll of surprising intellect, or to follow Wulfrik the Wanderer, a Norscan warrior cursed by the Gods to forever seek out and fight the mightiest opponents. The shared ambition of every northern warrior is to cause the greatest possible bloodshed and mayhem in order to appease and please their Gods in seeking this goal most die violent deaths, or fall into warped insanity, but a few become favoured as Champions of the Gods, often 'blessed' with mutations such as a melding of flesh and armour, or weapons fused with the hands that wield them.

There is plenty going on with richness and softness being complimented well by a distinct but underlying gentle peat smoke. This 12 years old is a good solid entry in to the age statement whiskies of Jura. Butterscotch, sugary toffee and milk chocolate come back and linger well. The soft smoke fades as the sweeter notes come back to the fore. These florals carry on in to the finish with a heather-like quality and the faint pot pourri note never far away. The sweeter notes begin to increase as the finish approaches and the dried pot pourri characteristic from the nose develops again. Then come further notes of robust barley grains, woody oak spices (cinnamon, all-spice and clove in particular with a late pinch of white pepper) and a hint of yeast. This has a dry, dusty and earthy feel to it with hints of moss and dried heather. Then comes the sweet and gentle peat smoke that seems to underpin everything. The early sweetness is present as on the nose with notes of milk chocolate, butterscotch and barley sugars combining well. On the palate this whisky has a rich, soft and rounded feel. Depth is added by an almond-like nuttiness, dried orange peel and warming spices (think of clove and cinnamon especially), plus hints cranberry and pot pourri. Aromas of icing sugar and butterscotch dominate with a underlying whiff of soft and sweet peat smoke. The colour is a deep golden yellow and the nose is instantly sugary and sweet.

The Jura distillery is located on the Hebredean isle of Jura and was founded in 1810 by Archibald Campbell. The two pockets of stock have then been married together to produce the final whisky. The whiskies involved in the 12 years old have followed two different paths - regular unpeated spirit has matured in ex-bourbon casks before a period of finishing in ex-Oloroso sherry barrels, while rarer peated spirit (which is only made for one month each year) has been matured solely in ex-bourbon casks. The range was revamped in 2018 and this 12 years old is joined by other age statements at 10, 18 and 21 years old plus three other 'no age statement' expressions - the French Oak, Journey and Seven Wood. This whisky forms part of the core range from the island distillery of Jura. ![]() |
