Lent: time to eat and remember

This Lenten season I decided to cook and eat foods that remind me of those who have had great impact on my life as a whole and in my faith journey.  This particular dish reminds me of my mother who always preferred to eat vegetables over anything else.  This is one of her favorite dishes.  She was the one who taught me how to support others even if you don't exactly understand what they are doing.  She used to stay up to make sure we don't fall asleep while studying. She would be reading the Bible near by us and watch us and wake us up when we dozed off.  My mother lived:

Proverbs 22:6

⁶ Train children in the right way,
   and when old, they will not stray.

Thank you God for giving me my mother. In Jesus' name. Amen.
