With a name so cool as Boula-Boula, I expected something great. To my dismay, turtles and 2 tablespoons of whipped cream were involved. Basically, you are eating fat and salt that is green and slimy. Therefore, for those of you who might gasp at the ingredients and consider the possibility of a turtle soup guzzling apostate. Consider it not so. I would like to present to you a reality that we may find useful. Namely, we Christians are a lot like Boula-Boula. We bear the name of the greatest servant of humanity that ever lived -- Christ. But we are often, upon closer inspection, only green slime. By God's grace, we can truly live up to our name and send an alternative recipe to the Joy of Cooking 2.0 that includes a more appetizing list of ingredients.
