What did Jesus have for breakfast?

Each day began with a light breakfast of bread or a piece for fruit. Bread was kneaded and baked every day, one of the mother's main chores. At midday, those in the Holy Land would eat a light lunch of bread, grain, olives, and figs. The main meal was eaten at the end of the day.

There were a variety of foods available in the Holy Land. Chief crops were wheat, barley, olives, grapes; legumes such as lentils, fava beans, chickpeas; and vegetables such as onions, leeks, and garlic. Life was also made sweeter with fruits such as olives, grapes, date palms, apples, watermelon, pomegranates, figs, and sycamores (a low-quality fig eaten mainly by the poor). The people also raised sheep, goats, and cattle, and fished from the Mediterranean and the Sea of Galilee. Wine from the grapes was the main beverage. Each day began with a light breakfast of bread or a piece for fruit. Bread was kneaded and baked every day, one of the mother’s main chores. At midday, those in the Holy Land would eat a light lunch of bread, grain, olives, and figs. The main meal was eaten at the end of the day. Dinner was a one-pot stew served in a common bowl. Bread was used to spoon the stew. The stew might be a thick porridge of vegetables, lentils, or chickpeas spiced with herbs. Meat was only served occasionally, fish more often, mostly when the family had an important guest. Among the wealthy, lamb or calves were kept in stalls so they could be fattened for feasting (Luke 15: 23–30). Meals were a sacred time when God’s presence was awaited and welcomed in every meal. The people recognized that although they had earned their daily bread, God still gave them all they had. Fellowship in a meal was always fellowship before God.

Hospitality

Travel in the Holy Land was dangerous. Single travelers, such as the man falling to thieves in the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 19: 25–37), put their lives in jeopardy on the roads. Inns were about 25 miles apart and the traveler never knew if there was adequate food, water, or shelter at the end of the day. Hospitality was an important value across the Mediterranean world, but it was a value particularly taught in the Jewish communities. There were no strangers, as those of the Holy Land remembered how God provided for them when they were aliens in Egypt. In Deuteronomy 24: 17–19 God specifically mandates that in harvest time people were to leave enough in the fields to feed the widows, orphans, and the resident foreigners: “For remember that you were slaves in the land of Egypt; this is why I command you to do this.” (Deuteronomy 24: 22) Perhaps the greatest example of the meaning of hospitality is found in Luke 24: 13–34, the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus. The disciples were leaving Jerusalem heartbroken about the events that had taken place. Jesus had been crucified, and they believed he was gone. They meet a stranger who counsels them with the Scriptures, calling them to remember what God had promised. At the end of the day after arriving at an inn, the disciples offer hospitality. And at the meal Jesus Christ is revealed to them in the breaking of the bread. God calls us all to be hospitable, to serve those in need, especially the starving children and victims of malnutrition. In meeting them at the table, we are meeting Jesus Christ today.

Oedipal Complexions

I won’t wait! I’d said it’s great

to be, punctually tardy

You think? Shrinking my head, by swelling my brain,

with vice instead you’d best

analyze this bliss oh Oedipus Rex!

my complexion it’s the best!

whilst stroking my molten scales,

oh Oedipus Rex!

Bending, crawling, bleeding, backwards

Sailing, smiling, singing backwards

Floating, dying, waiting, backwards

Kicking, crying, screaming, backwards

Why stand in line waiting for bread?

Nether instead I’ll lay

in Vodkaville euphoria

Is dancing in my head

true to Magazine I’ll masturbate

Catholic-guilt it seems to cramp my wrists

Whilst stroking my molten scales,

oh Oedipus Wrecks!

Bending, falling, dying backwards

Kicking, screaming, calling backwards

Floating, flying, falling backwards

Bending, breathing, dying backwards

American-Pop witness a quest!

popular and universal

Impetus, must I digress?

I’m ‘Bastard-Son’ my home

so long ago I left ‘twas best!

color me unimpressed

It sat next to me on the U.F.O.

the Easter Bunny and a lot of dope(s)!
