I make a lot of soup throughout the year, including gazpacho, minestrone, Hungarian mushroom, curried squash, and chile/chili stew, but this is my favorite. The recipe originally came from the Silver Palate “Good Times” cookbook, a strong early influence full of joyful entertaining tips and recipes organized by holiday and season. I’ve adapted it in several respects to reduce the fat and increase the veggies, among other things.
When I tell friends that it is a miraculously healing soup, I am only half-kidding: chicken Read More
Living Well Los Alamos: Slow Cooker Month
By HELEN IDZOREKWith the New Year upon us many of us make resolutions to improve our health—both physically and financially.
January is Slow Cooker Month. Slow cookers use less electricity than an oven and because they use long, low temperature cooking, less expensive cuts of meat come out tender. Though we often turn to slow cookers for making winter soups and stews, they also work well in the summer as they do not heat up the kitchen like an oven. You can use your saved time from slow cooking to be physically active or to spend time with your family.

Pastor Granillo: This Is Our Story
By PASTOR RAUL GRANILLO“We adore chaos because we love to produce order.” – M.C. Escher
I doubt that too many would argue about mankind’s inherit desire to produce order out the chaos of this world. As soon as we are born we seem to struggle against chaos by trying to order our lives and predict their paths. But it seems that bringing order from the chaos—both at a personal level and a global level—may be a losing battle. For all the good we bring into life, we often find we may bring just as much bad.
The Bible talks about this issue, in fact, I would say that this issue is interwoven into the entire Read More

Pastor Granillo: This Is Our Story
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1 NIV)
In the beginning God created (Genesis 1:1). From the account of the Bible, we can surmise that God created because God is love. But to understand this, we have to do some unpacking.
Imagine, even before Genesis 1:1, what God was like. We know that He was holy and glorious (Isaiah 6:3). And when Isaiah had his vision in the throne room he said, “‘Woe to me!’ I cried. ‘I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, Read More
Letter To The Editor: Catholicism, Gayness, Blind Men, And Elephants
By KAHLIL SPENCERHaving neither the expertise nor the interest in engaging either Roy Moore or Rev. Glenn Jones in a discussion of Catholicism vs. Gay Love, I will offer this. The story of the Blind Men and the Elephant.
John Godfrey Saxe’s (1816-1887) version of the famous Indian legend,
It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.
The First approach’d the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
