#15 Isaiah

We do Isaiah because he has so many prophecies about Jesus. The story we use for him is the one about him lamenting the fact that he is a man of unclean lips. That is where the food hints come from, anyway.

So we eat

• Sweet and Sour chicken...use frozen popcorn chicken pieces fried in the Fry Daddy (the sauce is orange...like the red hot coal.)

Sweet and Sour Sauce (2011 addition)

• 1 teaspoon soy sauce


• 1/2 cup sugar


• 1/3 cup pineapple juice drained from chunks


• 1/4 cup ketchup


• 1/2 cup vinegar


• 2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water


• 1 cup pineapple chunks


• 1 green pepper cut into 1/2 inch squares


• 1 carrot sliced in 1/4 inch rounds

In a 2 qt saucepan, combine soy sauce, sugar, pineapple juice, ketchup and vinegar. Bring to a boil Add cornstarch mixed with water gradually to boiling sauce. Lower temperature, and simmer 1 minute until sauce is clear. Add pineapple, green pepper and carrot. Simmer 3-5 minutes until heated through. (I put green pepper in at the last minute)

• Rice (for purity)
  


• Hot Fudge Cake...just a mix from the baking aisle. (hot...you know...like the coals)
  
  Here are some passages fortelling Jesus' birth (also here)
  
  Here are some passages fortelling his death
  
  Pretty amazing really...all that info about Jesus way back then.
  
  For the ornament, we use (wait for it...;-)) a piece of coal partially painted orange.
