About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Sunday Supper: BACON – WDTPRS POLL

Comfort food
I was so shaken by my account of Hignett and the Evil Professor, that I had to seek comfort food. No Mac n Cheese for me, nosirree! Shanghai Juicy Buns! Grrrrrr…. platitude cookie.
Monday Supper
I was in the mood for soup, and I didn’t care if it was a summer soup or winter soup. Therefore, I opened up my very own autographed copy of Lorraine Wallace’s Mr. Sunday’s Soups. “More than 75 delicious homemade … Read More

Egg indulgence
Yesterday I posted about poaching an egg. That is to say cooking an egg in water, not stealing an egg. Some of the commentators chimed in with methods of preparing eggs in water which involve keeping the egg within … Read More

An afternoon refreshment break
I have had a few lousy days, with hot and grubby work involving dust, sweat, lots of lifting and hauling, spiders and a few dead things I would rather not remember, missing one deadline and barely making another. This afternoon … Read More

I noticed over at the blog Sober Inebriation – a great phrase with deep spiritual implications – that the undersigned was mentioned in a post about cooking. I did some memorable fishing as a kid. I shot this photo of … Read More

Ribs that stick to your supper
I simply had a hankering for some pork ribs and sour kraut. This is stimulated by, among other factors, the absurdly low sale price on the spare ribs. So… some juniper berries, kraut, tarragon and rosemary, an onion, ribs. Brown … Read More
