香甜美味純素蘋果派
Delicious Homemade Vegan Apple Pie
(For the English translation please scroll down.)
鬆脆的酥皮包裹著肉桂幽香的蘋果派,在每年的這個時候最能給人帶來充滿温馨的美味!新鲜出爐時挖上一大球純素香草冰淇淋配搭著吃,可以説是最温暖人心的秋季甜點!如果你也喜歡這食譜,請讓我知道,我會盡快寫好與大家分享。
我先生頗頑固,又不喜歡轉變。我們住在這屋子 30 年了,一直到 6 年前他才願意給我種株我夢寐以求的蘋果樹。但他要我答應,有自家種的蘋果後,我會特别花心思做可口甜品給他吃,我當然欣然承諾,也要他保證會悉心替我灌溉小蘋果樹。
差不多五年前,我開始吃素,跟先生說想把經營了 27 年的小店改成純素外賣,他起初不怎麽同意。我不動聲色,開始每天給他烹調美味蔬食,兩個月下來,他態度從當初的不讚成到開始接受。但給我一個挑戰,如果我能和他一起把店裡每道小菜都改為好吃的素菜,他會乖乖給我當個蔬食廚子。
結果我們都努力承擔考驗,遵守諾言。蘋果樹在他用心照顧下,一年比一年红潤漂亮,我也經常用香甜的糕點給他慰勞。我們的豐收蔬食廚房四年前開門迎接左隣右里或遠道前來的客人,四年多來我們一直用感恩的心情、埋頭苦幹的行動來回報大家美好的心意。
之前有很多人問我,是什麽原因令我們不再吃肉。我可以很坦白回答,是從看了很多部紀錄片如 Earthlings, Cowspiracy, What the Health, Forks Over Knives …. 等等開始。
到最近,很多朋友跟我說,看了 The Game Changers 之後,他們覺得不需要吃肉了。
上月底,六十年來努力不懈地向人類介紹自然界的美麗與脆弱、對環境執著保護的 Sir David Attenborough 與 Netflix 合作拍攝的紀錄片 A Life on Our Planet 面世了。這是部不容錯過,充满教育性的紀錄片,請大家有空一定要看看!
看完片後,我老公第一句話就是:妳說好的蘋果派呢?
Gently spiced apples encased in a light and crumbly pastry, perfectly warming for this time of year, and very moreish! Best served warm with plant based vanilla ice cream, it is the most comforting autumnal dessert you could ask for! Let me know if you would like the recipe, I'll try to write it out as soon as I can.
My husband is a rather stubborn person and normally doesn't like change. We have lived in our house for 30 years, and he resisted the idea of planting the apple tree of my dreams until 6 years ago. Even then, it was on the proviso that I used our new supply of homegrown fruit to make him some delicious desserts. Of course I was happy to agree, as long as he takes great care of my beloved little apple tree.
I became a vegan about five years ago, and when I told my husband I wanted to turn our business of 27-years into a vegan takeaway, he wasn’t sure initially. Knowing him well, I was not surprised by this but also not deterred. So I said nothing and just quietly started cooking him scrumptious vegan meals every day. It took a couple of months but his attitude gradually changed. Then he set me a challenge; he said if I could work with him to turn every dish on our menu into an equally delicious vegan version, he would be happy to join me on this journey and be our hardworking vegan chef.
We both dedicated ourselves to this new direction in our lives and kept our promises, even when it came to the apple tree. Under his care, the tree has become more and more rosy and beautiful each year despite the harsh natural elements it sometimes encounters; and I fulfilled my side of the bargain by using the apples we harvested to make all sorts of sweet treats for him.
Harvest Vegetarian Kitchen opened its door four years ago to welcome our wonderful customers, and we have been immensely thankful to everyone’s support and encouragement since. We remain totally committed to working hard in providing good food and good service to our fantastic community.
Since we made this change, many people have asked us what made us stop eating meat? We can honestly say it was after watching lots of documentaries like Earthlings, Cowspiracy, What the Health, Forks Over Knives etc … all of which educated us on the food we were eating and the processes involved in getting it from the farm to our plates.
Recently, a lot of people have told us, after watching “The Game Changers”, they too have given up eating meat.
Sir David Attenborough's powerful new documentary “A Life On Our Planet” is another must-watch, offering a bleak, but in some ways hopeful look at climate change, and what needs to be done in order to reduce its impact.
“When it comes to the land, we must radically reduce the area we use to farm, and the quickest and most effective way to do that is for us to change our diet. Whenever we choose a piece of meat, we too are unwittingly demanding a huge expanse of space. The planet can’t support billions of large meat-eaters, there just isn’t the space. If we all had a largely plant-based diet, we would only need half of the land we use at the moment. And because then we would be dedicated to raising plants, we could increase the yield of this land substantially.” Sir David Attenborough.
As soon as the film was over, my husband turned to me and said, ”Where’s the apple pie that you promised me?"

The Seven Years of Great Plenty
“That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh. Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt. There will arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land, and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous. The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.” (Genesis 41:28-32 WEB)
A while back, the Holy Spirit opened my understanding to the passage above. Pharaoh’s dream has an end-times application.
The Tribulation will be the final “week” (seven years period) that completes Daniel’s seventy weeks prophecy.
The first half of the seven years is the rise of the Antichrist whereby he gains the trust of Israel through pretense and cunning. It will seem like a time of peace.
The second half of the seven years is the tyranny of the Antichrist and he will betray Israel and show his true colors—that he is actually intending to destroy Israel and the saints (all who confess Jesus as their Lord).
It will be the worst time of anti-Semitism and persecution of Christians—it will be difficult to be a believer and avoid taking the Mark of the Beast.
“After the sixty-two weeks the Anointed One shall be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and its end shall be with a flood, and even to the end shall be war; desolations are determined. He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out on the desolate.” (Daniel 9:26-27 WEB)
The seven years of grievous famine in Pharaoh’s dream corresponds to the seven years of Tribulation.
This means that the seven years of great plenty right before the famine begins represents the years leading up to the Rapture of the church.
“Because you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” (Revelation 3:10 WEB)
We won’t be here for the Tribulation (the hour of testing for the whole world).
Every born-again believer will be in Heaven before the Tribulation begins, safe in our Abba Father’s house and warmly wrapped in Jesus’ embrace.
In the seven years leading up the Rapture, we are going to experience an unprecedented level of blessings and harvest of souls for God’s kingdom like never before.
The church of Jesus Christ will shine so brightly and the world will be drawn to its light.
It’s going to be huge and it’s like a final tidal wave of salvation that plucks souls out of the jaws of Hell, before the earth goes through the worst suffering it will ever experience.
Like how God affirmed to Pharaoh that He would shortly bring the dream to pass, I believe we are close to the time of Jesus’ return as well! Closer than we think!
What is the key to living worthily in these end part of the end times?
“He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I come quickly.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.” (Revelation 22:20-21 WEB)
God’s priority is undoubtedly the salvation of souls. It pains His heart to see so many souls doomed to hell every day.
If we sincerely want to prioritize His top priority and join Him in this worthy work, He will surely provide the means and the accompanying signs and wonders to make our evangelism effective. You won’t be going alone—Heaven is on your side.
Live like Jesus is coming back today, and rely on His Grace for all your needs. In these last days, we need both urgency and dependency.
With the combination of the boldly preached Gospel and God’s confirming miracles, we will see a huge end-times harvest of souls for God’s Kingdom!
This ministry’s mission is to plant seeds of salvation in the lost, edify the body of Christ and equip them with Gospel truths so they can reign in life and be effective in evangelism!

[What Does Religions Say About Alcohol]
Alcohol is a type of drink with alcoholic substance that is able to make an individual drunk. Even if it can only affect the individual in a large quantity, drinking it in a lesser quantity is still considered as alcohol as it has the criteria of an alcoholic beverage.
The history of alcohol invention is lengthy, referring to an article by National Geographic: The Birth of Booze, proofs that earliest trace of alcohol was found at Jiahu, China. Among the ingredients used to make an alcoholic beverage are corn, barley, rice, wheat flour, grapes, sugarcane and many more.
Religion and Alcohol
Religion came to guide human being with the laws by the Creator (Allah) in order that human being will not cause destruction to this world. Alcohol is the mother of immoral behavior, the mind of a drunken individual will not function rationally and his action will be beyond his control. In fact, the majority of religions forbid the consumption of alcohol. Previously, Islam in the only religion that famously known for its prohibition of alcohol, however it is to note that other religion also prohibits it:
Islam
In Islam, the number of verses concerning the prohibition of alcohol are lesser than other religions such as in the Bible and Hindu scriptures. Even so, as Muslim means someone whom submits to the command of Allah hence the amount of verses is not the main focus instead it is the command in the scripture that takes into account. That is the reason why Muslims are more sensitive when it comes to alcohol. Below are verses in the Holy Quran that mentions the prohibition of alcohol.
a) Al-Ma’idah 5:90,
b) Al-Baqarah 2:219,
c) An-Nahl 16:97
Hinduism
Verses that prohibits the consumption of alcohol:
a) Rigveda book 8 hymn 2 verse 12,
b) Rigveda book 8 hymn 21 verse 14,
c) Athravaveda 6: 70: 1,
d) Manusmriti Scripture 7: 47-50,
e) Manusmriti: 11: 55,
f) Manusmriti 11: 91.
g) In the Manusmriti Scripture 9:225, the selling of alcohol is also forbidden.
In Hinduism, Soma and Sura drink are differentiated. Soma is a fermented juice drink used in religion ritual (Vedic Times) and it is said to be an alcoholic beverage that is mentioned numerous times in Veda (Rig Veda 1:116:7, 8:2:12, 10:131:4-5) however, the ingredient for this beverage is already extinct and cannot be made today. There are opinions that it is made from milk or a climbing plant which thrives in mountain areas. (Mark Cartwright: Ancient History Encyclopedia: Soma: 2016).
While Sura is a form of liquor, same as other kinds of alcoholic beverage available in this era. According to Madhavi Bhaskar Kokhatkar in his journal “Review: Surā, The Liquor and The Vedic Sacrifice”, it stated that Sura or this liquor is forbidden in Hinduism.
Even though Veda allows the consumption of Soma, at the same time it forbids the consumption of alcoholic beverage (Sura):
“Weak minds are attracted towards meat, alcohol, sensuality and womanizing. But O non-violent mind, you focus your mind towards the world in same manner as a mother cares for her child.” (Athravaveda: 6: 70: 1)
One becomes sinful if he or she crosses even one of the 7 restraints. Yaskacharya defines these 7 sins in his Nirukta as: Theft, Adultery, Murder of a noble person, Abortion, Dishonesty, Repeating misdeeds and consumption of alcohol. (Rigveda 10:5:6)
This shows that drinking alcoholic beverage is forbidden and there are many verses in the Manusmriti scripture that prohibit the consumption of Sura.
“Killing a Brahmana, drinking (the spirituous liquor called) Sura, stealing (the gold of a Brahmana), adultery with a Guru's wife, and associating with such (fenders), they declare (to be) mortal sins (mahapataka).” (Manusmriti: 11: 55)
“A twice-born man who has (intentionally) drunk, through delusion of mind, (the spirituous liquor called) Sura shall drink that liquor boiling hot; when his body has been completely scalded by that, he is freed from his guilt.” (Manusmriti 11: 91)
In fact, on early April 2016 it did not become an issue when the Chief Minister of Bihar state, Nitish Kumar prohibits alcohol in the state with the majority is Hindu.
Buddhism
According to Buddha teachings of Pencasila (Five Precepts), the last precepts states that one must avoid intoxicating beverage. In the Pali language “Suramerayamajja pamadatthana veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami” translated as abstaining oneself from drinking intoxicating beverage.
Even a Buddhist Monk by the name of Master Hsing Yun in his book, The Five Precepts states it is still forbidden to consume even a little of alcohol. Same goes to other Buddhist monk and scholars:
“The Vibhanga states that even as little as a drop the size of a dewdrop on the tip of a balde of grass is enough to constitute a violation. So, having even small glass of wine, even if it does not make one drunk, is a transgression.” (Veberable Fa Xun: One Life Five Precepts: 2011: page 73)
“It it known that intoxicants even in small amounts can make one less sensitive, heedless and easily swayed by the defilements. As one starts to enjoy getting high on intoxicants, the effect becomes addictive and usage increases.” (Chan Khoon San, Introductory Course in Buddhism: 2002 page 89)
Judaism
In the Old Testament, there are many verses on the prohibition of alcohol:
a) Leviticus 10:9,
b) Numbers 6:3,
c) Deuteronomy 29:6,
d) Judges 13: 4,
e) Judges 14: 1,
f) Samuel 1: 15,
h) Proverbs 20: 1, 31: 4-6,
g) Isaiah 5: 11, 22: 24: 9, 28: 9,
h) Micah 2: 11
Christianity
Prohibition of alcohol is as stated in the Old Testament while in the New Testament Luke 1:15 and Ephesians 5: 18.
Sikhism
In Sikhism scripture, Guru Granth Sahib Ji compilation of Guru Gobing Singh, there is prohibition of alcohol consumption:
“Drinking the wine, his intelligence departs, and madness enters his mind.” (Sri Guru Granth Sahib: Page 554)
In Sikhism, there are 5 basic prohibitions;
1) Cutting ones hair
2) Bad behavior
3) Smoking
4) Eating meat killed in a ritualistic manner
5) Alcohol consumption
Alcohol in Religious Practices
Alcohol is used in religious practices of some Animism religion and spirit worshipers. This is also the same for some of the biggest cult in Africa and the African American community such as Candomble, Kumina, Voodoo, Umbanda, Quimbanda, Santeria and many others.
Besides that, alcohol is also used as part of religious ritual in some Christian’s teachings. For example Black Christ uses alcohol due to the syncretism people practice (animism) adding on with the teachings of Christianity by Christian missionaries so that there is alcohol in religion.
Apart from that, the consumption of alcohol in Christianity is due to misinterpretation of the texts from the Bible. Even though there are prohibitions in the Bible, the justification given is that alcohol can be consumed as long as one refrains from getting drunk. There is also commentary that the verses were revealed in the ancient times and the situation is not the same as today.
Besides that, another interpretation is the prohibition is specifically for the Jews hence the Gentiles is allowed to consume alcohol. There are even more misinterpretations made towards the verses.
That is one of the main factors resulting in the corruption of religion. Syncretism from other beliefs mixed with religious practices between one religion and another, also the misinterpretation of liberals that deviate from the original text.
Summary
The majority of religion prohibits alcohol. Even logically, human beings will refuse the harming effects of alcohol consumption. If the benefits and detrimental effects of alcohol were to be compared, indefinitely the detrimental effects are greater. In fact, due to alcohol consumption an individual can easily engaged in crime as the mind is in an unstable condition. Due to the same reason also, there are laws made worldwide on driving under the influence of alcohol. A human being with a sane mind will surely refrain from alcohol consumption, specifically because it is the command of Allah and also because of the harmful effects. A story taken from the Buddhist Monk, Master Hsing Yun in his book The Five Precepts:
“There once was a man who wanted to “just have a little drink,” but he did not have a dish of food to go with it. Seeing that his next-door neighbour was raising an old hen that was cackling away, he stole the hen and killed it to make a dish to eat while he drank his liquor. Thus he had broken the precepts against killing and stealing in one fell swoop. When the lady of the house next door came home and asked about her hen, the man told her that he had not seen it, thereby breaking the precept against lying. By now the man was a bit drunk, and seeing how beautiful the woman was, he started flirting with her and touching her in an indecent manner. Consequently, he also broke the precept against sexual misconduct. It was because of consuming intoxicants that all five precepts were broken in one stroke.”
Just a little drink drove a human being into violating the laws and tenets, hence alcohol can be describe as mother of all evil. As stated in a Hadith الخمر أم الخبائث “Alcohol is the mother of all evil” (Silasat al-Hadith as-Sahiha no:1854).
Allah knows best.
