In the Novus Ordo it is the Feast of my beloved St. Thérèse of Lisieux.
Thank you, St. Thérèse.
A view.

The seasonal ivy report (okay… it is creeper):

I am not eating spectacular stuff… other than what I can buy and prepare. Yesterday, chicken and veg. Spatchcocked and seasoned and in the pan to get some color before it goes into the oven.

The foundation. With a little white wine and olive oil.


I took the chicken out but left the veggies in for a while. It’s not hard. Try. Spatchcock and season generously and put veg in a thing with the chicken on top, include rosemary and lemon peels underneath. Start out with white sun hot oven. Back it down and then read some posts here… for a while.

With a nice Gavi. For desert, some TALEGGIO! I love taleggio. Send taleggio donations. Yum.
I might make…. risotto with taleggio and pear. Oh my.
A little detail I never noticed.

NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.

Since I didn’t take a photo when I visited them. They are so wonderful.
