Bean Dip with Horseradish
8 Servings
Beans are wonderful food — no two ways about it. They are loaded with protein, fiber, potassium, magnesium and folic acid. They have a very beneficial effect on blood sugar and they taste great. There are many ways to use beans — from chili to soup to tasty dips scooped up with raw vegetables, whole-grain crackers or pita triangles. Beans are also one of the foods that work well from a can, saving the time and effort of presoaking. Lower-sodium versions are also available. For those of you who enjoy the aroma of a big pot of beans simmering on the stove, however, keep cooking from scratch!
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked beans (cannellini, pinto or Great Northern)
2 tablespoons quality extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
2 scallions, trimmed and minced
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Combine beans, olive oil, horseradish and scallions in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary. Season with salt to taste.

Wednesday - A Dose of Daily Inspiration
Come, let us bow down in worship, Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture... Today, if you hear his voice do not harden your hearts... (Psalm 95:6-8)
Noah
For one hundred and twenty years Noah preached by word and deed, against the corruption and violence of his time. He warned of the forthcoming judgment, but not one man or woman believed. For more than one hundred years the people saw the ark of rescue, but all refused to heed or accept Noah's warning, including even the workmen, who helped Noah build the boat, who heard Noah's witness and observed his godly life. Because of their unbelief they perished outside the boat they themselves had worked on. What a tragedy - so near and yet so far. Time has not changed man. God still warns people of impending judgment. He still offers rescue through the ark of salvation, Jesus Christ.
"As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man, two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day our Lord will come" (Matthew 24:37-40, 42).
"Come; let us bow down before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God..." (Psalm 95:6, 7).

Black Bean Soup
Black Bean Soup
8 Servings
Among the most inexpensive of foods, dried beans offer a bounty of fiber, iron, protein, folic acid and B vitamins. Black beans, also known as "turtle beans," are an especially tasty variety, and make a lovely soup. Do not salt dried beans until they are cooked, as the salt slows down the softening process. On another note, so-called "cooking" wines or sherries contain lots of added salt. Do your palate and your body a favor and use a drinkable sherry in this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 pound black beans
1/3 bay leaf
1 large onion, sliced
Salt to taste
A few cloves of chopped garlic
1 tsp dry mustard powder
1 cup dry sherry (not cooking sherry)
Instructions:
1. Pick over beans to remove any dirt, stones or foreign objects. Wash well, then soak for 8 hours in ample cold water.
2. Place beans and soaking liquid in a large saucepan with 1/3 bay leaf and bring to a boil over high heat. Skim off foam, lower heat, and simmer, partially covered, till beans are just tender, about 1 hour.
3. Add onion and continue to cook until onion melts into liquid, about 1 more hour.
4. Add salt to taste and garlic. Continue to cook, adding a little boiling water if necessary, until beans are very soft and start to melt into liquid, about 1-2 hours more.
5. Remove bay leaf and turn off heat. Ladle beans in batches into blender or food processor and puree or use an immersion blender and puree soup directly in the saucepan.
6. Add dry mustard powder and dry sherry. Correct seasoning. Reheat and serve, adding any garnishes you wish, such as slices of lemon or freshly chopped herbs.

I am looking for 15 new recruits for AVON!!
I want to make it far in AVON, and I will. And I want you to enjoy the ride with me :)
I am looking to recruit 15 new AVON reps quickly!!
When I recruit 11 by Campaign 21 (we're on 19), I will earn a $500 bonus. Sounds nice, right? RIGHT! Want some of that? Of course you do! Incentives really get you going!
It's only $10 to join!
Since AVON is now online, it cuts out a lot of running around and door-to-door sales.
I am ultra-excited about my newest venture! People already know AVON and usually love it. And it's not just makeup!
My first order that I just sent off, was almost $200.00. That was only 4 people. Think how many sales I'll be pulling once I get more books out there, more ads on my pages, more people I talk to in everyday life. I'm stoked :) Also, every sales campaign runs for two weeks. I only had one week to get this last order!
Come on, grab my coat-tails! LET'S GO!!

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnussus trailer - Heath Ledger
Hopefully this works for you. If not, just copy the title, and paste it into youtube. I'm excited this is coming out in December. I can't wait to see each man's performance, and how the director and producer melded the characters since Heath's death. (And of course, I am a HUGE Heath and Johnny fan!) :)
