Sikhism was founded in the Punjab region of India in the 15th century; there are approximately 30 million Sikhs in the world. Followers believe in the equality of all human beings and in a single, infinitely powerful, omnipresent, genderless God. Instead of heaven or hell, the religion promotes salvation through a spiritual union with God; ego, anger, greed, attachment, and lust are considered the Five Evils. Sikhs do not believe in recruiting converts, though they welcome those who wish to join their faith. Once baptized or formally initiated into the faith, they vow to wear five religious symbols at all times, one of which is leaving their body hair uncut. .

Apple Dumplings
from The Pioneer Woman
2 sticks butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tubes crescent rolls
2 granny smith apples
12 ounces of Mountain Dew
Cinnamon
Vanilla ice cream
Directions: Peel and slice your apples. Wrap each slice in a crescent dough triangle and place in sprayed (greased) pan. In a bowl, melt your butter and stir in sugar and vanilla. Pour over top of the wrapped apples….or spread on top with a spoon. Pour the Mt. Dew all around and sprinkle with Cinnamon. Place in 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot with ice cream!
Update 3/12 – I’ve had several readers tell me they like cutting the sugar down to 1 cup. I just tried it and liked it just as much! So, might as well use less sugar, right? 🙂 Believe me, it’s still plenty sweet…especially with ice cream.

Oh NOW I remember why I moved to WordPress!
Shopping cart programs are like religious organizations
You have Zen cart which is like the Catholic Church all OCD and Anal Retentive.
Then you have osCMAX the Protestants – one large controlling hate group.
Then there is the regular version of osC – court ordered religion meeting every night.
Then there is WordPress. They are like the rest of the world – they’re working toward making the world a better place!
