"So I commend the enjoyment of life, because nothing is better for a man
under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany
him in his work all the days of the life God has given him under the
sun." Ecclesiastes 8:15

Route 66: Eat Drink and Be Merry!
Once I finished with the genealogy in 1 Chronicles, I have a sense of being trapped with the "Life's Short, Talk Fast" Gilmore Girls and a quick version of David's life. It's almost as if we are cramming for an exam and just need to hit the high points as we review. So, just for fun I thought I would share with you a fun resource I have come across-- Cooking with the Bible. This book contains menus and recipes for the foods mentioned in the stories we have been reading. For instance, when Sarah found herself preparing a meal for unexpected guests we can look to Entertaining Angels Unawares for the menu and recipes. And if you want to make Rebekah's "Tasty Dish" used to entice her husband to hand over the blessing to the wrong son then All for a Father's Blessing is the place to look. We can even find recipes for date and raisin cakes found in the 1 Chronicles 16 celebration give baskets in Abigail Cooks to Appease. There are many more recipes and menus to be had at this site as well as commentary on the individual stories. It is great fun to look at and may even come in handy at your next gathering. Enjoy!

As a Bible class teacher of Middle Schoolers, one of my most memorable classes was when the parents and students were invited to a Bible Meal. Some of the students mother's helped me create foods from the Middle East that may have been eaten by those in Bible Times. This would have been an awesome resource back then. I love to try new and interesting foods.
