Adapted from Jesse Bryant Beef Fried Rice in the Cook’s Cook Community
The Inquisition kept careful records of its arrests, tortures and auto da fé’s, burning at the stake of the Catholic Church's heretics. In their records over hundreds of years, across many countries, the story of Diego Lopes was unique. The Church and witnesses recorded that Diego, brought to the stake in Coimbe, Portugal, simply disappeared. The Church attributed Diego’s vanishing to the Devil. Thousands of witnesses declared it a miracle, the Jews among them. God had rescued His own.
Martin Elsant was intrigued. He wrote his historical novel, Acts of Faith, to create his own theory. Like Houdini, aka Erik Weisz, in Martin’s view, Diego was a very successful escape artist. Now I was intrigued.
Dinner Menu
Beef Hoisin Stir Fry
Fresh fruit salad
Hot and Sour Soup is one of my favorites and a perfect mate for Beef Hoisin Stir Fry. A sweet, light dessert is called for and fruit salad, fruit of your choice, is a great way to end the meal.
