Thanksgiving
Architecture
Archaic Smile

Prov.13:19
"The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil."



"But of course, an architectural style cannot take root unless it satisfies some need of the time. Brunellesco's style satisfied the need of the clear-headed, bright-minded men who appeared on the Florentine scene at the moment when the discipline of trade and banking, in its most austere form, was beginning to be relaxed and life-a full use of human faculties-became more important than making money."~~~Kenneth Clark: Civilisation, Ch.4 Man-the Measure of all Things

 The archaic smile was used by sculptors in Archaic Greece, especially in the second quarter of the 6th century BCE, possibly to suggest that their subject was alive and infused with a sense of well-being. One of the most famous examples of the Archaic Smile is the Kroisos Kouros, and the Peplos Kore is another.


 
 The Rampin Rider or Rampin Horseman (c. 550 BC) is an equestrian statue from the Archaic Period of Ancient Greece. The statue was masterfully made of marble and has traces of red and black paint.

KNOW HOW

Sandwich

 Jas.2: 24
"Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only."


Gen.49:10
"The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be."

Turkey Cubano

Two heated baking pans topped by a cast-iron skillet stand in for a sandwich press in this easy Cubano recipe. It also substitutes sliced turkey for the usual roast pork, but retains the melted cheese, sliced ham and slivers of pickle that makes the traditional sandwich so incredibly compelling. Deli ham is the go-to choice here, but prosciutto gives a deeper, saltier flavor; use whichever you like.

PAVAS
Benjamin Franklin dijo que el Ave Nacional de los Estados Unidos debería de ser EL PAVO! (seguramente porque reconocía que LA META (the EAGLE: y GOOOOOOOL) es Jesucristo y que el Presidente de los Estados Unidos es el MEDIO para coadyuvar el Triunfo de Jesucristo, the TRIUMPH of Jesus Christ! Ojo no es the TRUMP (el PAVO de PAVAS) of Jesus Christ !! 😜🎶
Benjamin Franklin on Macchiavelli and the Lordship of Jesus Christ uses this passage from Aristotle to make the point and to illustrate his "admiration" for the wild turkey!


"Now, as there are many actions, arts, and sciences, their ends also are many; the end of the medical art is health, that of shipbuilding a vessel, that of strategy victory, that of economics wealth. But where such arts fall under a single capacity- as bridle-making and the other arts concerned with the equipment of horses fall under the art of riding, and this and every military action under strategy, in the same way other arts fall under yet others- in all of these the ends of the master arts are to be preferred to all the subordinate ends; for it is for the sake of the former that the latter are pursued."~~~Aristotle: Nichomachean Ethics, Bk.1

 FALCONRY and Stephen Hawking's theoretical physics! Sí, esto es una adaptación "americana" de una comida cubana para APROVECHAR la carne de pavo que siempre queda después de las tradicionales cenas de Día de Acción de Gracias que se celebra el CUARTO jueves de noviembre, que por supuesto tendrá que ver con la Tribu de Judá cuya antorcha los Estados Unidos enarbola. Acordate que no sólo son 4 los Evangelios, pero que se ha elegido la fecha 4 de julio, pensando en que Judá es el cuarto "hijo" y que sigue vigente hasta la Segunda Venida Gen.49:10 … Y se reconoce que ejercer el poder "imperial" de acuerdo a la palabra de Dios es aparecer ante muchos como un "desgraciado" un chompipe de acuerdo con la expresión AMERICANA, "you turkey!" que signifca algo así como el tico "CABRÓN"... entendiendo esto se entiende el GUIÑO DE OJO que hace el Presidente cuando la víspera de Acción de Gracias le perdona la vida a un pavo, porque se reconoce implícitamente como una autoreferencia, porque no se puede ejercer la presidencia de los Estados Unidos a como Dios manda sin dejar de aparecer como un "reverendo h.p. ante los ojos del mundo!!
Entonces este sandwich que generalmente se hace con roast beef se cambia por pavo, pero por supuesto NO ES CONCESIÓN a Cuba sino una adaptación! 😜

"In City Hall downtown and at Johns Hopkins University a few miles away, procurement officers have begun buying from local suppliers via Amazon Business — and even starred in a national marketing video for the company. Buyers say the convenience more than justifies interposing a Seattle-based corporation between their institutions and nearby businesses. Critics denounce the retail giant’s incursion into long-established relationships. It is a very Amazon dispute."~~~Scott Shane
