What Would Jesus Eat?

On Sunday September 27th we had a "What Would Jesus Eat?" dinner at church. The idea was Mary Kay's (the Youth Director). She found the website Cooking With the Bible. There are various meals based on Biblical accounts as well as the history behind the meals and ingredients. We chose to do the meal "Esther Saves Her People". The meal has many elements of a traditional Jewish Purim meal. Purim is the Jewish festival held in honor of Esther.

Here are some pictures of the pretty professionally done dishes from the website.

This artichoke soup. Surprisingly good and we are not fans of artichokes.

This sweet and sour sea bass. We used a different fish, due to a lack of sea bass. It was again surprisingly good.

This a vegetable cholent. Basically, it is a vegetable stew. Stefani is not a bean person, so this wasn't at the top of her list of favorites, but Joshua enjoyed it.

These are the popular Hamentaschen. They are a sugar cookie with fruit preserves in the middle. Everyone raved about these little cookies.

Everyone enjoyed the food and fellowship!

God's Blessings,

Joshua and Stefani
