In Romans chapter
14 some people have
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.70
concluded that if
you are a vegetarian then
00:00:03.71\00:00:06.74
you're weak and the
individuals have no right
00:00:06.75\00:00:09.85
to judge other people's diet.
00:00:09.86\00:00:11.69
Well, today's
program is entitled
00:00:12.32\00:00:13.76
"Don't Judge My Diet".
00:00:14.33\00:00:16.28
We will be right back.
00:00:16.59\00:00:17.56
Hi, welcome to Abundant Living.
00:00:46.15\00:00:47.82
I like to
introduce my beautiful wife,
00:00:47.92\00:00:50.17
Paula Eakins, how
are you doing today?
00:00:51.60\00:00:53.89
I am doing
wonderful. Great! I am glad you
00:00:53.90\00:00:57.41
remember my name. I
always remember your
00:00:57.42\00:00:59.24
name, may not be
Paula but sometimes I
00:00:59.25\00:01:01.36
just call you Honey.
You did it a hesitation,
00:01:01.37\00:01:03.67
yeah I decided to go
ahead and say your name
00:01:04.02\00:01:06.26
for you. I am glad
you are with us today
00:01:06.27\00:01:08.44
and again if you been
with us for the last few
00:01:08.45\00:01:11.29
weeks we been
highlighting some key
00:01:11.30\00:01:13.19
texts in a Bible
that have been often
00:01:13.20\00:01:15.79
misunderstood and
misinterpreted as far as
00:01:15.80\00:01:18.78
our diet is
concerned and again today's
00:01:18.79\00:01:21.32
program is without exception,
00:01:21.33\00:01:23.10
"Don't Judge My
Diet", Romans chapter 14.
00:01:23.83\00:01:26.42
But before we go into
that particular passage
00:01:26.78\00:01:28.86
of scripture, we're
going have a review in
00:01:28.87\00:01:31.68
case you miss our
program in previous weeks,
00:01:31.69\00:01:34.37
the last program we
did as far as the diet was
00:01:35.00\00:01:37.33
concerned in
reference to our Bible text was
00:01:37.34\00:01:39.98
1st Timothy Chapter
4 and Verse 4 where the
00:01:40.31\00:01:43.35
Bible says, every
creature of God is good,
00:01:43.36\00:01:46.62
and nothing to be
refused, if it is received
00:01:47.04\00:01:51.24
with thanksgiving.
And we decided that,
00:01:51.25\00:01:53.67
that text has not give
a sanction to eat every
00:01:53.79\00:01:57.30
creature but every
creature God is good not
00:01:57.31\00:02:00.37
necessarily for food
but is good for God's
00:02:00.38\00:02:03.28
intended purposes
which is such as the hog,
00:02:03.29\00:02:06.30
the Catfish is to clean
up the filth of the earth,
00:02:06.31\00:02:09.06
amen. Amen! And
then did the hawk,
00:02:09.34\00:02:12.10
and the earthworm,
the shrimp and the crab
00:02:12.62\00:02:14.06
and a lobster all
these are sanitation experts.
00:02:14.07\00:02:18.08
Sanitation experts
or sanitation engineers!
00:02:18.13\00:02:20.94
That's right their job
is to clean up there's;
00:02:20.95\00:02:23.45
and thus God's
intent purposes for those
00:02:23.61\00:02:26.33
particular creatures
not for human consumption
00:02:26.34\00:02:28.91
but to clean up the
filth, I will tell you what
00:02:29.25\00:02:30.82
those animals they
do a mighty fine job.
00:02:31.15\00:02:33.31
They are good. I had
a fish tank once and,
00:02:33.36\00:02:37.36
well a big huge fish tank. Okay!
00:02:37.47\00:02:39.57
And I had catfish in
the bottom and they were,
00:02:39.58\00:02:42.05
they were along with
these ones called a little
00:02:42.06\00:02:43.87
Sucker one's they're
on the side of a thing,
00:02:43.88\00:02:45.62
they clean up all the
wastes and stuff in the
00:02:45.63\00:02:47.10
bottom of that fish
tank. Yes, they do a
00:02:47.11\00:02:49.68
mighty fine job. Don't they?
00:02:49.69\00:02:50.68
Yes, they do an excellent job.
00:02:50.69\00:02:51.67
Okay! Well, we're
looking at another text
00:02:51.79\00:02:54.01
for today's program
and this is another text
00:02:54.02\00:02:56.47
that is often
misinterpreted. This text
00:02:56.48\00:02:59.86
has not much as other
texts but this has come
00:02:59.87\00:03:03.28
up from time to
time. We gonna go through
00:03:03.29\00:03:05.45
book of Roman
chapter 14 and we are
00:03:05.46\00:03:08.63
gonna look at
verses 1, 2 and 3. I am
00:03:08.64\00:03:10.85
gonna read verse 2
first of all and then I am
00:03:10.86\00:03:13.85
gonna go back to
verse 1, and you will
00:03:13.86\00:03:16.04
understand why I am doing that.
00:03:16.05\00:03:17.24
Romans chapter 14 and verse 2,
00:03:17.31\00:03:20.23
and the Bible says,
"For one believeth that
00:03:20.85\00:03:23.65
he may eat all
things, another, who is weak,
00:03:23.66\00:03:28.95
eateth herbs". Now
let's just stop here for
00:03:29.57\00:03:32.94
a moment. Now, Paul
is talking and he says
00:03:32.95\00:03:37.19
you know one
believeth that he may eat all
00:03:38.04\00:03:40.98
things what every
things but the one who
00:03:40.99\00:03:44.44
eats herbs is
the one who is weak.
00:03:44.45\00:03:46.87
Now, if you have
another translation other
00:03:47.82\00:03:50.41
than a King James
version, I think the New
00:03:50.42\00:03:52.77
International
version Revised Standard
00:03:52.78\00:03:54.41
version and New King
James version in place
00:03:54.42\00:03:56.91
of the word herbs
they have the word
00:03:56.92\00:03:59.38
vegetables. So now
let's read it as such,
00:03:59.61\00:04:02.84
"One believeth that
he may eat all things,
00:04:03.79\00:04:06.22
and one who eats
vegetables is weak".
00:04:06.78\00:04:09.31
Now, some people
have taken that one step
00:04:10.54\00:04:12.91
further and say one
may believe that they
00:04:12.92\00:04:17.24
can eat all things
but a person who is a
00:04:17.25\00:04:20.07
vegetarian is
weak. Now we take offense
00:04:20.08\00:04:25.43
to that because we
are vegetarians as matter
00:04:25.44\00:04:27.92
of fact we are vegans
but in the Bible tells
00:04:27.93\00:04:30.28
us that if we eat
herbs or vegetarians then
00:04:30.29\00:04:33.51
you are weak. Now
what we are gonna do
00:04:33.52\00:04:35.43
with that Honey?
Well, I think we have some
00:04:35.44\00:04:37.40
answers that have
even gone away far back,
00:04:37.41\00:04:39.59
back further than
that because I believe Adam
00:04:40.36\00:04:43.21
and Eve were
vegetarians. I believe so
00:04:43.22\00:04:45.81
too yes. And I think
Adam on that vegetarian,
00:04:45.82\00:04:48.48
were a vegan
vegetarian diet where he
00:04:48.58\00:04:51.09
live 930 years I
believe on a vegan vegetarian
00:04:51.10\00:04:55.19
diet, amen, hallelujah.
Well I think you have
00:04:55.20\00:04:57.76
to come back when I
will say about how man
00:04:57.77\00:04:59.35
actually gotten his life
shorten from eating meat.
00:04:59.36\00:05:02.21
But we are not
going to go right now.
00:05:02.29\00:05:03.32
Not right now!
Because you are on wrong,
00:05:03.70\00:05:04.67
you are on wrong.
Not right now! Okay,
00:05:04.68\00:05:05.71
because I remember
at the hospital in the
00:05:05.89\00:05:07.75
Huntsville of course I
have a lot of stories of
00:05:07.76\00:05:09.69
what are the things
happened at Huntsville
00:05:10.48\00:05:11.86
hospital. Tell a
story, tell us? Well we have
00:05:11.87\00:05:13.31
been there for 9
years or so, programs cannot
00:05:13.32\00:05:16.39
contain all those
stories but I remember one
00:05:16.40\00:05:18.36
story and of
course those co-workers of
00:05:18.37\00:05:20.70
mine there at the
hospital they all knew that
00:05:20.71\00:05:22.76
I was a
vegetarian, a vegan vegetarian,
00:05:22.77\00:05:25.44
and of course they used
to tease me all the time.
00:05:25.81\00:05:28.16
And I had two
nicknames by he way,
00:05:28.58\00:05:30.35
one was
nicknamed called Tofu Head,
00:05:31.23\00:05:34.14
and other one was Salad Shooter.
00:05:34.63\00:05:36.91
And they would start
laughing like you are
00:05:37.53\00:05:38.87
doing right now but
that's fine you know what
00:05:38.88\00:05:41.43
I'll let them laugh,
but what I'll do is this,
00:05:41.97\00:05:44.44
I will wait until I
have a lot of nurses around
00:05:44.90\00:05:47.59
and other co-workers
around and I would pick
00:05:47.60\00:05:49.96
someone who I
knew was a meat eater.
00:05:49.97\00:05:52.86
And I will tell
them come over here,
00:05:53.36\00:05:55.21
and we will have a
table and I say okay lets
00:05:56.29\00:05:59.73
do an Indian
Wrestle. And we did Indian
00:05:59.74\00:06:02.49
Wrestle there
amongst all other nurses and
00:06:02.50\00:06:05.50
other coworkers
and these people were
00:06:05.51\00:06:08.21
probably five, ten
years younger than I was
00:06:08.22\00:06:10.75
and I tell you what to
this day I never lost a
00:06:11.03\00:06:14.90
match yet and
these were meat eaters,
00:06:14.91\00:06:17.86
and after that the
jokes began to subside,
00:06:18.00\00:06:21.88
I am sure,
drastically because they were
00:06:21.89\00:06:24.59
really embarrassed,
these are meat eaters
00:06:24.60\00:06:26.84
younger than I was
and here I am a vegetarian
00:06:27.20\00:06:29.91
and I beat them
every single time.
00:06:29.92\00:06:31.50
So according to this
verse at least verse 2
00:06:31.68\00:06:34.63
anyway I will prove that wrong.
00:06:34.80\00:06:36.88
But now you know
what we discover that the
00:06:37.11\00:06:39.43
Bible is our interpreter
and the Bible tells us
00:06:39.44\00:06:42.82
about something. This
weakness is not dealing
00:06:42.83\00:06:45.77
with physical strength
at all; the first verse
00:06:45.78\00:06:49.32
gives us the answer.
Let's read the first verse.
00:06:49.54\00:06:51.91
And the Bible says, Him
that is weak in the faith,
00:06:52.21\00:06:58.05
oh there is the key
right there, we are not
00:06:58.19\00:06:59.97
talking about physical
strength we are talking
00:06:59.98\00:07:02.12
about people who
are weak in the faith,
00:07:02.13\00:07:05.30
receive ye, but not
to doubtful disputations.
00:07:05.94\00:07:10.79
So therefore we are
not talking about Physical
00:07:11.09\00:07:13.36
strength, we are
talking about people who
00:07:13.37\00:07:15.06
are weak in the
faith that's where the
00:07:15.07\00:07:17.89
weakness comes in.
Now I guess this vegan of
00:07:17.90\00:07:20.54
faith we are now
talking about new believers
00:07:20.55\00:07:23.24
in a faith. Right
new believers coming in!
00:07:23.25\00:07:26.79
Not someone that has
come in the faith for a
00:07:26.80\00:07:27.77
while and they don't
have the faith but now
00:07:27.78\00:07:29.78
we are talking
about those new believers.
00:07:29.79\00:07:31.17
Yeah! And in this
study here there were
00:07:31.18\00:07:33.87
believers come into
the Christian church.
00:07:34.09\00:07:36.15
These were new
believers, and of course
00:07:36.73\00:07:39.71
they came in with all
the other religious baggage
00:07:40.04\00:07:43.20
with them. Sure, sure!
So that's why Paul said
00:07:43.21\00:07:45.83
these new believers
weak in the faith coming into
00:07:45.84\00:07:49.75
the Christian
church. I remember we were in
00:07:49.76\00:07:54.76
one particular church
and thus one person in a
00:07:55.18\00:07:58.85
pulpit, he read
Romans chapter 14 verses 1,
00:07:58.86\00:08:04.16
2 and 3, verbatim
without stopping and without
00:08:04.81\00:08:10.63
explaining, and he
begin read Romans chapter
00:08:10.72\00:08:13.91
14 verses 1,2, and 3
the audience began to
00:08:13.92\00:08:19.55
applaud as to the
passage of scripture here.
00:08:19.80\00:08:23.75
Because if you read
these three reverses
00:08:23.89\00:08:25.83
without stopping to
explain what Paul is
00:08:25.89\00:08:28.69
trying to say to
these people in Rome,
00:08:28.70\00:08:30.89
you have a
misinterpretation or a
00:08:31.21\00:08:34.70
wrong impression or
Paul's words that's why
00:08:34.75\00:08:37.91
we are going to deal
with this topic today,
00:08:37.92\00:08:39.93
"Don't Judge My
Diet". How about giving us
00:08:40.50\00:08:45.43
the religious setting
as to what is actually
00:08:45.44\00:08:47.65
going on this
particular text? Okay lets set
00:08:47.66\00:08:50.41
the stage here
because remember now when
00:08:50.42\00:08:52.38
we look at scripture
we must understand and
00:08:52.39\00:08:54.42
ask and answer three questions.
00:08:54.43\00:08:56.59
Question number one,
who is doing to talking.
00:08:56.69\00:08:58.92
Well we discovered that
is Paul gonna do talking
00:08:59.32\00:09:01.37
that's clear. Question
number two, to whom is he
00:09:01.38\00:09:04.40
talking to? He is
talking to strong believers
00:09:04.41\00:09:08.20
in a faith.
Question number three,
00:09:08.21\00:09:10.91
what is the religious
setting of this passage?
00:09:11.38\00:09:14.81
Now we need to answer
that last question quite
00:09:15.11\00:09:17.35
assuredly and the
Bible does do that.
00:09:17.36\00:09:19.52
Now it's interesting
that again as my wife has
00:09:20.23\00:09:22.27
already mentioned
this setting is that these
00:09:22.28\00:09:24.46
are new believers
coming into the Christian
00:09:24.47\00:09:26.97
faith and with that
they bring in a lot of their
00:09:27.14\00:09:30.26
religious baggage
with them. They were doing
00:09:30.27\00:09:33.22
one particular
religious practice before they
00:09:33.44\00:09:36.74
came into this Christian
faith and this incident
00:09:36.75\00:09:39.70
in Rome also occurred
in the people in Corinth
00:09:39.71\00:09:43.74
and Paul gives us
some idea of what these
00:09:44.50\00:09:47.30
individuals were
doing in their formal faith
00:09:47.31\00:09:50.18
before they became
Christians into the Roman
00:09:50.31\00:09:52.76
Church. So, let's
look at our first graphic,
00:09:52.77\00:09:55.94
this is really
profound and this one was
00:09:56.11\00:09:58.34
happening in their
formal Christian faith.
00:09:58.35\00:10:01.54
Idol burgers and the Bible says,
00:10:01.89\00:10:04.31
"Some eat it meaning
meat as offered unto an
00:10:04.86\00:10:08.70
idol; and their conscience
being weak is defiled".
00:10:08.71\00:10:14.49
Let me explain this.
You have people coming
00:10:14.89\00:10:17.78
into the Christian
church, in their formal
00:10:17.79\00:10:20.59
church setting they
had a practice of offering
00:10:20.60\00:10:23.93
idols, or offering
animals to idols, okay,
00:10:24.26\00:10:26.65
presumably your
ram and your goat.
00:10:26.66\00:10:29.38
They were doing
this and they were idol
00:10:30.25\00:10:31.59
worshippers. So
when they came into the
00:10:31.60\00:10:33.74
Christian faith, of
course Christians do not do
00:10:33.75\00:10:36.24
that because Christ
is our sacrifice and
00:10:36.25\00:10:39.28
because of that Paul
says we see this people
00:10:39.29\00:10:42.07
who are weak, they
come in with this baggage,
00:10:42.08\00:10:44.79
they are weak, they
still offering these idols,
00:10:45.15\00:10:47.63
or they still have in
mind that certain food
00:10:47.64\00:10:50.15
should not be eaten,
so just be mindful not to
00:10:50.16\00:10:53.45
eat those certain
foods because they are still
00:10:53.46\00:10:55.60
weak in their faith.
So we must understand
00:10:55.61\00:10:57.82
this setting this
happened in Corinth and
00:10:57.83\00:11:00.57
now it's also
happening in the people in Rome
00:11:00.58\00:11:03.50
as well. Well I think
about the fact that as
00:11:03.79\00:11:06.41
a new believer now
of course I have been
00:11:06.42\00:11:09.06
in the faith and
Christ for a while,
00:11:09.07\00:11:10.98
but I remember you
know coming in as a new
00:11:11.19\00:11:13.21
believer and this is a
lot of things you have,
00:11:13.22\00:11:15.32
like things you've been taught,
00:11:15.69\00:11:16.66
some things you
don't know at all, right,
00:11:16.70\00:11:18.23
and of course also
then trying to adjust to the
00:11:18.24\00:11:20.86
new found faith.
And so it is so key that
00:11:20.87\00:11:24.10
those who already in
the faith will kind of
00:11:24.11\00:11:26.66
surround you with
the love of Christ,
00:11:26.67\00:11:28.53
right and helps to
teach you rather than to
00:11:28.54\00:11:30.85
give you a hard
time. That's right.
00:11:30.86\00:11:32.74
And sometimes we can
give people a hard time.
00:11:32.75\00:11:34.47
I think sometimes we
are not as patience as
00:11:34.64\00:11:36.75
we should with that a
sympathic as we should
00:11:36.76\00:11:39.79
and we need to
remind ourselves that one
00:11:40.12\00:11:41.52
time when other
those who have come into
00:11:41.53\00:11:44.83
the Christian faith
may be just recent years
00:11:44.84\00:11:47.98
probably have
experienced some of the
00:11:48.23\00:11:49.77
same things that
people are experiencing back
00:11:49.78\00:11:52.42
in Paul's day as
well. For sure, sure!
00:11:52.43\00:11:54.84
So now lets look at,
I'm gonna look at one of
00:11:54.85\00:11:56.93
the text before we go
through our last graphic
00:11:56.94\00:11:58.88
is found in 1st
Corinthians chapter 8;
00:11:59.14\00:12:01.31
now mind you now the
people in Corinth were
00:12:01.71\00:12:05.13
having these same
type of problems as the
00:12:05.14\00:12:07.03
people in Rome, and
the people in Corinth in
00:12:07.04\00:12:10.55
the 8th chapter of
1st Corinthians brings out
00:12:10.56\00:12:13.42
this idea as well.
Verse 18, verse 13,
00:12:13.43\00:12:17.44
I should say, 1st
Corinthians chapter 8 and
00:12:17.45\00:12:19.92
verse 13, the
Bible says Wherefore,
00:12:19.93\00:12:23.32
listen to these words,
"if meat make my brother
00:12:23.97\00:12:27.82
to offend, I will eat
no flesh while the world
00:12:28.04\00:12:33.22
standeth, lest I make
my brother to offend".
00:12:33.23\00:12:37.30
In other words lets
make this clear here.
00:12:37.46\00:12:39.45
These new believers come
into the Christian faith.
00:12:40.56\00:12:43.81
They baggage a religious
experience was offering
00:12:44.57\00:12:48.29
rams and goats to
idols. Now they are coming
00:12:48.52\00:12:51.80
to a new church
foundation, new truce and
00:12:51.81\00:12:55.47
this people in the
Christian faith realizing
00:12:55.48\00:12:58.87
these people having
offered these animals
00:12:58.88\00:13:01.79
to idols, they say
well now if I eat a ram or a
00:13:01.80\00:13:05.80
goat it will really
bother their conscience
00:13:05.81\00:13:10.27
because of
their past experience.
00:13:10.51\00:13:12.14
So they say, so that
I won't offend anybody
00:13:12.23\00:13:16.08
I want to stop eating
meat. Therefore I will
00:13:16.75\00:13:19.78
not offend these new
believers coming into
00:13:19.79\00:13:23.35
the Christian faith.
And this is what this
00:13:23.47\00:13:25.42
text is talking
about. So these people were
00:13:25.43\00:13:27.89
sympathetici to
new believers and that
00:13:27.90\00:13:30.40
message there is still
prevalent today is great
00:13:30.41\00:13:34.35
for our ebonation for
Christian believers in the
00:13:34.36\00:13:37.71
Christian faith as well
who are strong believers.
00:13:37.72\00:13:40.20
Well, I think that
you cleared that one up.
00:13:41.89\00:13:44.48
Okay! Once again
I want to remind our
00:13:45.01\00:13:46.94
viewing audience that
a lot of these different
00:13:46.95\00:13:48.47
things that are
going on are particularly
00:13:48.48\00:13:50.63
problems that people
have or things people
00:13:51.27\00:13:52.51
have access about
and so we thought we will
00:13:52.52\00:13:54.01
put these in a program format.
00:13:54.02\00:13:55.73
Do we have another
graphic? Yes, I think
00:13:57.02\00:13:58.40
we do have another
graphic and to me this
00:13:58.41\00:14:01.03
graphic is the
bottom line for us being
00:14:01.04\00:14:03.88
sympathetic. Let's go
to our last graphic and
00:14:03.89\00:14:06.54
let's see what Paul
says, Be sympathetic
00:14:06.55\00:14:09.34
folks and the
Bible says, no man put a
00:14:09.35\00:14:13.39
stumbling block or an
occasion to fall in his
00:14:13.40\00:14:18.56
brother's way. So if
you know that you are
00:14:18.57\00:14:21.27
doing something and
you know that whatever
00:14:21.28\00:14:24.16
you are doing may
cause a stumbling block for
00:14:24.17\00:14:27.88
believer who let's say
a little weak in the faith
00:14:28.13\00:14:31.41
then Paul counsel
is then don't do that,
00:14:31.98\00:14:34.95
otherwise it will cause
a stumbling block or you
00:14:35.09\00:14:37.41
may offend someone.
So again be sympathetic,
00:14:37.42\00:14:41.01
be mindful of
other people's religious
00:14:41.39\00:14:44.23
experience because
when you come into a new
00:14:44.24\00:14:47.07
Christian faith they
have their baggage's with
00:14:47.25\00:14:50.02
them and it may be a
law before they learn all
00:14:50.03\00:14:53.93
the truths that they
should according to God's
00:14:53.94\00:14:56.21
will. So the lesson is
clear. The lesson is very
00:14:56.22\00:14:59.27
clear. The lesson is
clear. Well you know God
00:14:59.28\00:15:01.19
is awesome. Yes he
is! And through study of
00:15:01.20\00:15:03.39
his word first
starting off with praying asking
00:15:03.40\00:15:06.66
the Lord to open up
your heart and your mind
00:15:06.67\00:15:08.36
to understand what
he has to say and then
00:15:08.37\00:15:10.44
from there and if we
all did that believe it or
00:15:10.45\00:15:12.51
not we probably would
all be a lot better off
00:15:12.52\00:15:14.03
as far as how
we have each other.
00:15:14.04\00:15:15.46
And not taking the
scripture out of context,
00:15:16.12\00:15:17.91
not trying to make it
fit because this is what
00:15:17.92\00:15:19.96
you want to say, but
letting the Bible be its
00:15:19.97\00:15:22.27
own interpreter, line upon line,
00:15:22.28\00:15:23.95
precept upon
precept, here little and there
00:15:24.48\00:15:27.50
little. And our last
text here is back to Romans
00:15:27.51\00:15:30.70
Chapter 14
Verses 3 the Bible says,
00:15:30.71\00:15:33.39
"Let not him that
eateth despise him that eateth
00:15:33.70\00:15:36.43
not; and let not him
which eateth not judge him
00:15:36.44\00:15:39.83
that eateth: for
God hath received him".
00:15:39.84\00:15:41.90
In other words
don't judge that was the
00:15:41.96\00:15:44.18
person you know other
peson don't judge you,
00:15:44.19\00:15:46.30
okay. And God going to
have a perfect judgment
00:15:46.51\00:15:51.08
in the end and he
would judge us accordingly
00:15:51.26\00:15:53.75
to what we know
not what we don't know.
00:15:54.10\00:15:56.92
So, let's go into the
kitchen and what do we
00:15:57.27\00:15:59.12
have for our
viewing audience today.
00:15:59.13\00:16:01.41

00:20:10.64\00:20:13.24
in the place of egg in
this particular recipe.
00:20:13.25\00:20:15.33
It's usually on a
package it will say like one
00:20:15.94\00:20:18.94
teaspoon, I find that
it works a lot better if I
00:20:18.95\00:20:21.20
put one tablespoon
into my ingredients.
00:20:21.21\00:20:24.18
Not just they
will say on a package,
00:20:24.58\00:20:26.44
mix one teaspoon to
some water, I just used
00:20:26.80\00:20:29.40
straight up one
tablespoon into my dry
00:20:29.41\00:20:31.80
ingredients or my
wet ingredients no extra
00:20:31.81\00:20:33.83
water okay. So this
is a very good product.
00:20:33.84\00:20:35.94
I really like it a
lot. Egg Replacer! Alright,
00:20:35.95\00:20:38.48
I gonna move over
to aside because I am
00:20:38.72\00:20:40.18
getting ready to do
another thing and that is
00:20:40.19\00:20:42.06
we are suppose to
sif together your whole
00:20:42.72\00:20:44.83
wheat pastry flour and
also your carob powder.
00:20:44.84\00:20:47.20
I am going to
put into my sifter.
00:20:47.45\00:20:48.85
How you doing over there Honey?
00:20:50.80\00:20:51.89
I guess I am
doing pretty good. Okay!
00:20:52.03\00:20:54.08
I need to turn up
this heat or what this?
00:20:54.09\00:20:55.68
Turn up a little bit,
okay, alright I am gonna
00:20:55.69\00:20:57.82
put the carob
powder in, just a tad.
00:20:57.83\00:21:00.04
That Egg Replacer of
the box you just showed
00:21:02.55\00:21:04.64
to the audience you
can get that again at the
00:21:04.65\00:21:07.37
major grocery
stores, is that correct?
00:21:07.38\00:21:09.56
Yes you can, okay
alright. I am also going to
00:21:09.66\00:21:11.99
be adding in the
Egg Replacer, I am gonna
00:21:12.00\00:21:13.96
put that in also we
can put all this in here
00:21:13.97\00:21:15.80
together if you
like or you can do them
00:21:15.81\00:21:17.54
separately and I am
gonna put in this salt, okay.
00:21:17.55\00:21:21.27
And then we gonna
just take our little sifter
00:21:21.51\00:21:23.84
and we are going to
just sift away. Okay!
00:21:24.05\00:21:28.29
Now if you'd notice in
this bowl I also have and
00:21:28.49\00:21:31.62
it's not a real big deal
here to so up sifting it.
00:21:31.63\00:21:34.05
This helps to make it
softer okay and if you
00:21:34.92\00:21:38.15
notice in the bowl
there is fructose and also my
00:21:38.16\00:21:42.03
Soy Margarine. And I
think we just got a little
00:21:42.04\00:21:45.72
bit more there
alright. Okay! Then we have
00:21:45.73\00:21:49.03
to move it out
there for me Honey,
00:21:49.04\00:21:50.06
put it on the table
over there, this sifter here,
00:21:50.07\00:21:52.14
yes and Honey you
have to keep on stirring
00:21:52.15\00:21:54.87
that's not gonna stiff,
oh I am not gonna shake.
00:21:54.88\00:21:55.87
No, no. Okay. Alright
now what I am going to
00:21:55.88\00:21:57.82
do now is I am
going to put in my five
00:21:57.83\00:21:59.89
tablespoons of the
silken soft tofu in the
00:22:00.03\00:22:04.67
mixture, alright and I
am gonna also pour in my
00:22:04.68\00:22:09.69
vanilla flavoring and
the banana flavoring has a
00:22:09.91\00:22:13.31
drop of almond.
That's what makes it,
00:22:13.32\00:22:15.58
just a drop, that's
what makes it almost like a
00:22:15.68\00:22:17.95
chocolate flavor.
Let's, you took away that
00:22:17.96\00:22:19.77
carob huh? Yes! Go ahead.
00:22:19.78\00:22:21.74
And I am gonna
scrape my bowl a little bit
00:22:44.73\00:22:46.63
there so I can make
sure I get all the goodies
00:22:46.64\00:22:49.42
in and I am
gonna continue to spin.
00:22:49.43\00:22:55.88
Now if you move this
out there my next step is
00:23:00.39\00:23:02.97
I am going to just
start putting in the carob
00:23:02.98\00:23:05.81
and the whole
wheat pastry flour, okay.
00:23:06.64\00:23:09.62
Okay! Now stir in for a
few minutes here, for few
00:23:09.75\00:23:13.64
seconds it really keep
going on television. Okay!
00:23:13.65\00:23:16.47
Now if you find
it when you are doing
00:23:28.43\00:23:29.71
this you know
brownie does have a different
00:23:29.72\00:23:31.14
kind of a texture
then a cookie does.
00:23:31.15\00:23:33.26
So if you find that
it seems to be getting a
00:23:33.55\00:23:34.81
little bit thick
depending on what soy milk
00:23:34.82\00:23:36.42
you actually used then
you can add a little bit
00:23:36.43\00:23:38.46
of more soy milk to
that, okay. So any soy milk
00:23:38.47\00:23:41.55
other than
better to milk I mean,
00:23:41.56\00:23:43.10
well better than
this is, need the powder,
00:23:43.61\00:23:45.86
better than powder is over here,
00:23:45.87\00:23:47.05
with the milk itself
and you can just yield the
00:23:47.37\00:23:49.34
milk, well what's
happening is that one
00:23:49.35\00:23:51.20
liquid I haven't here is
actually my margarine and
00:23:51.21\00:23:53.06
also the tofu. Oh,
okay! So you gonna add a
00:23:53.07\00:23:56.41
little bit of milk to
it if you want to make it a
00:23:56.42\00:23:58.08
little more, moist,
moist. Now I want you to do
00:23:58.09\00:24:00.89
this, you take that,
okay, and go ahead and
00:24:00.90\00:24:02.74
put in, let's see
our time is moving on,
00:24:02.75\00:24:04.45
put it here, in here,
in here and I am gonna do
00:24:04.46\00:24:06.82
stirring. Alright!
Now you can see or you
00:24:06.83\00:24:32.67
probably can't see
because the bowl has the
00:24:32.68\00:24:36.15
flour all around it,
now you know lot of times,
00:24:36.16\00:24:39.38
a lot of times I
use the hand mixer.
00:24:39.39\00:24:42.09
I have a lot more
control then I would if I put
00:24:42.10\00:24:44.20
into a regular mixing
bowl and I kind of like
00:24:44.21\00:24:48.15
that. Now one of the
ways which I am able to
00:24:48.16\00:24:50.33
actually get this off
the edge is I am gonna
00:24:50.34\00:24:52.55
turn my bowl up. In
that way! Now the nuts
00:24:52.56\00:25:01.10
will go last, the
almonds, the walnuts.
00:25:01.11\00:25:04.32
I am gonna stir those nuts in.
00:25:04.33\00:25:05.43
Okay! Now I know
that you've attempted but
00:25:05.51\00:25:07.87
let's not go there.
Are you Honey what's
00:25:07.88\00:25:10.41
happening over there? I am fast,
00:25:10.42\00:25:12.17
I am fast than you are.
No, no, that it says stir,
00:25:13.06\00:25:14.98
my recipe says stir
until it gets thick.
00:25:15.03\00:25:17.77
Okay! So I may be
stirring until the second
00:25:17.89\00:25:20.84
coming because I
think isn't thick yet.
00:25:20.85\00:25:23.19
That's what I am
talking about. Oh! So,
00:25:24.20\00:25:26.14
and put the nuts in,
we need to know that.
00:25:26.61\00:25:28.42
Oh! So that's why I
am over here, honey?
00:25:30.07\00:25:31.55
Oh! Yeah this is your
kitchen. Okay! You are
00:25:31.56\00:25:34.02
working in it, aren't
you? Yeah! Better time
00:25:34.03\00:25:36.51
I'll say that, and
what we gonna do is we are
00:25:36.52\00:25:39.14
going to take this
mixture now I have already
00:25:39.15\00:25:41.55
got my pan ready, I
have already oiled it,
00:25:41.56\00:25:44.68
I am going to now
pour this into this pan and
00:25:45.00\00:25:47.14
I am gonna move around
the pan so it will look
00:25:47.15\00:25:49.63
just like a regular
brownie you used to seeing
00:25:49.64\00:25:51.55
and we gonna bake
the oven at 350 degrees
00:25:51.91\00:25:54.33
for about 25 minutes or
until it will spring back
00:25:54.50\00:25:57.31
and then that sauce
curry is made as soon
00:25:57.32\00:25:59.26

gonna pour over top of
00:25:59.27\00:26:01.14

A piece of resistance,
00:26:53.03\00:26:56.14
right! Carob Nut
Brownie with a Carob Frosting
00:26:56.96\00:27:01.56
on top of it. Now
who did a frosting,
00:27:01.57\00:27:03.40
was it me? I did the
frosting wasn't that?
00:27:04.39\00:27:06.50
Curtis did the frosting!
What a nice glow to it?
00:27:06.64\00:27:08.96
Just remember once
you put it in the oven for
00:27:09.26\00:27:11.42
about 25 minutes
then that sauce is ready,
00:27:11.43\00:27:14.46
you pour over top,
let it sit for a while and
00:27:14.47\00:27:17.15
then once it sits the
icing, when actually go
00:27:17.16\00:27:19.35
down into the brownie
itself and then when its
00:27:19.36\00:27:21.55
cool you can slice it
and its ready to serve.
00:27:21.56\00:27:24.43
The saturated okay!
Now that almond flavoring
00:27:24.67\00:27:27.74
now someone told you
about that; that kind of
00:27:27.75\00:27:30.87
helps to give it that,
if it sits over a day or
00:27:30.88\00:27:32.87
so it helps you give
it a chocolate kind of a
00:27:32.88\00:27:34.88
flavor, and it takes
away that powerful carob
00:27:34.89\00:27:37.93
flavor there are lot
of people that may not be
00:27:38.14\00:27:39.95
used to because they
have that chocolate taste in
00:27:40.22\00:27:42.05
their mouth what?
It's right. Okay there is
00:27:42.06\00:27:44.14
always John 10:10,
Jesus said I come that they
00:27:44.15\00:27:47.84
might have life and
have it more abundantly.
00:27:48.15\00:27:53.28
