Food On The HillBacon Brownies
You can blame or credit Janice Muir of Los Alamos and Facebook for this one, even though she did not send me the recipe directly. Janice is a friend on Facebook and IRL (in real life), and my Facebook newsfeed informed me that she liked, or “liked,” King Arthur Flour. Clicking on the item meant that I saw several subsequent posts from his highness’ flour company, each of which featured a recipe. I tried the bacon brownie recipe, modified it to reduce sugar and served it at the monthly Los Alamos Mountaineers Club Read More

COMMUNITY News:How The Hen House Turns: What Does Wild Mean?

By CAROLYN A. NEEPER, Ph.DWhat do we mean when we call an animal wild? Are cats wilder than dogs? How are the wild ones different from domesticated animals? Is a wild horse no longer wild when broken? According to Katherine Blocksdorf, broke or broken means a horse has been trained, either to saddle or to harness. “Many people don’t like the term ‘broke’ because it suggests training done by force,” she said. Hence the interest in whispering, as we mentioned in a previous article.
These questions came up while editing books for the Archives Read More
Pastor Raul Granillo: Confronting Reality
The love of Christ should always compel the true Christian to serve, to nurture, and otherwise to give of themselves for the sake of others. John Wesley once wrote, “The Gospel of CHRIST knows of no Religion, but Social; no Holiness but Social Holiness. Faith, working by Love, is the length and breadth and depth and height of Christian Perfection.”
There is hardly a person who would argue the benefits to mankind when we feed, clothe, or give water to our neighbor; but what can be done to make a long term, or even an eternal difference in the life of others? This is the Read More

Food On The Hill: Sauced Burritos

Sauced Burritos
This is another of my “best intentions” recipes; I set out to make chicken enchiladas and wound up with chicken and vegetable burritos drenched in enchilada sauce. The homemade red chile (chile colorado) sauce is the only critical element of the dish; everything else can be changed or made simpler by shortcut. Do not be tempted to save time by using canned enchilada sauce; this homemade sauce can be made quickly with items typically found in a New Mexican pantry and it is well worth the effort. If you have the sauce already Read More

Pastor Granillo: Crossing The River
Pastor RAUL GRANILLO“It is impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his Helper is omnipotent.” –Jeremy Taylor
God had rescued the Israelites from Egypt. To do this, He inflicted plagues upon Egypt, He had parted the sea for the Israelites to pass through, He provided manna in the morning and quail in the evening for them to eat, and He brought water out of the rock for them to drink. God had saved the people and become their provider; and He did this in order to take them into a land that was “flowing with milk and honey.”
The land of Canaan was the land God planned to give the Israelites, Read More
