Wise Words.... From Wise Men

"We encourage families to have on hand a year's supply [of food], and we say it over and over and over and repeat over and over the scripture of the Lord where He says, "Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" How empty it is as they put their spirituality, so-called, into action and call him by his important names, but fail to do the things which he says." (Ensign, May, 1976, p. 125) Spencer W. Kimball
"The disciplined warrior, made irrelevant by mechanized war, disdained and abandoned by the high-tech culture, is fading in American men. The fading of the warrior contributes to the collapse of society. A man who cannot defend his own space cannot defend women and children. The poisoned warriors called drug lords prey primarily for recruits on kingless, warriorless boys." - Robert Bly in Iron John, 1990
"All officers of the law are creatures of it and a creature cannot become bigger than a creator, and whenever an officer undertakes to set himself up as superior to the law or superior to the citizens, whose servant he is, his usefulness as an officer ceases." - Code of Conduct, Texas Rangers, circa 1875, as displayed at the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame, Waco, Texas

Ancient Grains - Amaranth

Here are some facts on Amaranth: 

  • Amaranth means "everlasting ancient grain."
  • Amaranth contains more protein than any other gluten-free grain and more protein than wheat.
  • Amaranth is an excellent source of lysine, an important amino acid. Grains are notorious for low lysine content, which decreases the quality of their proteins.
  • The amount, types, and digestibility of proteins in amaranth are more soluble and digestible than those found in wheat.
  • Amaranth is second only to Teff in calcium content.
  • Amaranth contains more magnesium, iron, and fiber than other gluten-free grains.
  • When you add amaranth in amounts up to 25% of total flour used in gluten-free recipes you improve the nutritional value, the taste and texture of gluten-free baked goods

Cereal
1 cup Amaranth
2 1/2 cups liquid (water, or half water and half stock or apple juice)
Cook 18-20 minutes, covered. Do not overcook.
