Let  Us  Praise  Those  Fathers

 

Let  us  praise  those  fathers  who  have,

striven  to balance the demands  of  work,

marriage, and   children  with  an  honest,

awareness  of both  joy  and sacrifice.

 

Let  us  praise   those  fathers  who,

lacking  a good model  for a  father,

have  worked   to become a  good  father.

 

Let  us praise  those  fathers  who by their,

own  account  were  not always  there for,

their  children  but  who  continue  to offer,

those  children  now  grown  their  love &,

support.

 

Let  us  pray  for  those  fathers  who,

have been  wounded  by  the neglect and,

hostility  of their children.

 

Let  us praise  those  fathers  who  despite,

divorce  have  remained  in their  children's,

lives.

 

Let  us  praise  those fathers  whose children,

are adopted   and   whose  love  and,

support  has  offered  healing.

 

Let us  praise  those  fathers  who  as,

stepfathers  freely  chosse  the obligation,

of   fatherhood   and  earned   their  step,

children's  love  and respect.

 

Let us  praise  those  fathers  who  have lost,

a  child   to  death  and  continue  to,

hold    the child  in their heart.

 

Let us  praise  those men  who  have  no,

children  but  cherish  the  next generation,

as  if   they   were  their  own.

 

Let us  praise  those  men  who have "fathered,

us  in their  role  as  mentors  and guides.

 

Let us  praise  those  men  who are  about,

to  become  fathers  ; may  they openly ,

delight  in their  children.

 

And  let us  praise  those  fathers  who,

have  died  but  live  on in our  Memory,

and   whose  Love  continues  to Nurture us.

 

Happy  Father  Day

Dad   Love and miss  you so very much

[www.keralites.net] Moroccan Chicken with Couscous

 

 
Aromatic cumin, coriander and cinnamon give these chicken breasts a Middle Eastern flavour, 
and including chickpeas further enhances the ethnic theme. Courgettes and sugarsnap peas 
add colour and all the benefits of fresh vegetables.
Ready in 30 mins

Ingredients
Serves: 4
450g (1lb) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 cinnamon stick
2 large courgettes, halved lengthways and sliced
1 can (about 400g) no-salt-added chopped tomatoes
200ml (7fl oz) low-sodium vegetable stock
225g (8oz) sugarsnap peas
1 can (about 410g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

For the couscous:
250g (9oz) couscous
400ml (14fl oz) boiling water
1 tbsp olive oil
10g (oz) butter
pepper to taste
chopped fresh coriander to garnish

Preparation method
Prep: 10 mins  Cook: 20 mins
1. Cut the chicken on the diagonal into strips about 1cm (in) thick. 
Heat the oil in a wok or heavy frying pan. Add the chicken, onion and garlic, 
and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes or 
until the chicken turns white with golden brown flecks.

2. Reduce the heat to low and add the ground cumin and coriander and cinnamon stick. 
Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the courgettes and stir well, then add the 
tomatoes with their juice and the stock. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Meanwhile, put the couscous in a saucepan (off the heat) and pour over the boiling water. 
Add the oil. Stir well, then cover and leave to soak for 5 minutes.

4. Add the sugarsnap peas and chickpeas to the chicken mixture. 
Cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

5. Stir the butter into the couscous and cook over a moderate heat for 3 minutes, 
fluffing up with a fork to separate the grains. Season with pepper. 
Pile the couscous on to a serving platter. Spoon the chicken on top 
and garnish with chopped coriander. 

Serve hot.

Health points
Believing chickpeas to be powerful aphrodisiacs, the Romans fed them to their stallions 
to improve their performance. Although this reputation seems to have been forgotten now, 
chickpeas do contribute good amounts of soluble fibre as well as useful amounts of iron,
folate, vitamin E and manganese to the diet.
