No Rose Garden
The words of wise men are heard in quiet
more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
Wisdom is better than weapons of war:
but one sinner destroyeth much good

Ever on the lookout for your safety, Ranger passes along this latest FDA food warning, with a sniffle that the late great Jerry Falwell is not here to impute the proper godly interpretation of this event:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Austin, TX -- May 22, 2007 - Whole Foods Market is voluntarily recalling 365 Organic Everyday Value Sesame Tahini 16-oz, with a Best By Date of 10/02/07 or earlier because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
The first thing that crossed my mind in these perilous times is: the Creator is smiting us for attempting to adulterate our wholesome American palates with Middle Eastern cuisine. Even eating organic won't save you from that transgression.
Resist ye all who are tempted to drink of another well. Yes, well, I think I'm ready for the pulpit now. . .

That would undoubtedly refer to the well of Isaiah?
"Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation."

You're ready for the pulpit if you can eeeff while preaching.
Lurch,
I just grab these references as needed, as befits the role of a preacher-woman.
You can't trust anyone these days. Didn't Isaiah say something about
"And a child shall lead them..."
And you see how well that's turned out.
Moreover, ''. . .the LORD has anointed me to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners,'' and you know that's not gonna happen anytime soon. . .
I don't know what eefff-ing is, but I'm sure it is a tool of the trade.

Hey, thanks! I actually have an unopened jar of the recalled tahini in the pantry, and had not heard about the recall. You might have saved at least one person from a bellyache (or worse). Guess I should be paying more attention to such things these days. (So much for the hummus I was going to make tomorrow…)
kathleen,
Ranger is happy to be of service.
We must patrol our own pantries in these dire times.
