What a menu

Is what God has provided not sufficient?

We desire what we cannot have or perhaps should not have...even though manna ("...as coriander, and the colour thereof the colour as the colour bdellium") is more than sufficient.

"We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick..." (Numbers 11:5)

However, it is hard not to "remember" along with Israel, the fish, the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, garlic... There is surely nothing "wrong" with these ingredients.  What wonderful simplicity and beauty.  O Lord, have mercy on our simple hearts.
