Very Old

Are you tired of the same old thing week in and week out? Looking for something warm to soothe you when you come in from the cold? Like the idea of a pot of delicious aromas simmering on the stove? If the answers to any of the above are yes, why not give this Old Fashion Chicken and Fish Gumbo over rice a try?

This recipe was on a very old, almost crumbly newspaper clipping. I have no idea of its origins.

2 tbsp vegetable oil

3 lbs chicken pieces

1 cup chopped onion

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/3 cup flour

1 1/2 cups water

1/2 cup unsalted chicken broth

2 1/2 tsp thyme leaves, crushed

1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced

2 green bell peppers, chopped

4 tsp lemon juice

1 1/2 lbs cod fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 lb tomatoes, chopped

1 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 tsp paprika

Fluffy cooked rice

In a large saucepot, heat oil until hot. Add chicken and brown on all sides. Remove chicken from pot. Put onion and garlic in pot; saute until tender, about three minutes. Add flour; cook and stir until well blended. Gradually add water and chicken broth, stirring frequently, until thickened; about two minutes. Return chicken to the pot along with the thyme; bring to a boil. Cover pan and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer until chicken is almost tender, about 45 minutes. Add mushrooms, bell pepper and lemon juice; continue to simmer, covered, for ten minutes. Add fish, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and paprika; continue to simmer, covered, until chicken, fish, and vegetables are tender; about five minutes. Serve over rice.

Yields about 8 servings.

Enjoy!

Very Old Bones $3.95 For William Kennedy fans, Albany conjures up a tapestry of great beauty and complexity in which the lives of an Irish American family are woven. Earlier Albany novels, including Ironweed, a Pulitzer Prize-winner, whetted our appetites. Now Very Old Bones treats us to one last look at the odd and turbulent Phelans, circa 1958. Stretching the boundaries of life as the Phelans know it, this powerful work flows back and forth in time, riding on the melody of its language. Its great theme is the promise of redemption for those who seek it.

The Old Testament: A Very Short Introduction $12.17 Eminent biblical scholar Michael D. Coogan offers here a wide-ranging and stimulating exploration of the Old Testament, illuminating its importance as history, literature, and sacred text. Coogan explains the differences between the Bible of Jewish tradition (the "Hebrew Bible") and the Old Testament of Christianity, and also examines the different contents of the Bibles used by Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox Christians, and Protestants. He looks at the rise of modern biblical scholarship as well as the recovery of ancient Near Eastern literatures and their significance for biblical interpretation. Coogan explores the use of invented dialogue and historical fiction in the Old Testament, the presence of mythic elements in apparently historical accounts, and the relationship of ancient Israelite myths to those of their neighbors. The book considers the Old Testament's idea of divine justice, especially in Ecclesiastes and Job, and looks at notions of the afterlife in the ancient Near East and in ancient Israel. Coogan highlights the significance of the history and literature of the Old Testament and describes how non-biblical evidence, such as archaeological data and texts, has placed the Old Testament in a larger and more illuminating context. The book also discusses law and ritual in the Bible as well as the biblical understandings of prophecy. Here then is a marvelous overview of one of the great pillars of Western religion and culture, a book whose significance has endured for thousands of years and which remains vitally important today for Jews, Christians, and Muslims worldwide.
