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

My View For Awhile: Delayed Edition & Fr. Z’s Kitchen

Fr. Z’s Kitchen: Roman Saturday Tripe! “No tripe for the dems!”
Romans have a tradition of making great food out of the quinto quarto, the fifth fourth, that is, the parts of the animals that weren’t sold for income or were very cheap. There’s a tradition in Rome of eating tripe … Read More
Fr. Z’s Kitchen: Roman comfort food on a chilly, rainy, depressing evening
Reading the news and my email can get to me once in a while. Like many of the denizens of your planet I, too, will occasionally have some comfort food. For example, I may have breakfast in the evening: a … Read More
Fr. Z’s Kitchen: Beans in a bottle, and Beans in a bubble.
The other day I posted an image of Carracci’s painting of the “Mangiafagioli … The Bean Eater” and in another post I clarified a term used in a don Camillo story, “mangiapreti… priest eater” (a really anti-clerical person). I determined … Read More
Fr. Z’s Kitchen: Pollo alla Marengo
I’ve been “taking a course” about the French Revolution and Napoleon. I went through the Battle of Marengo, and found that there is a dish associated. Well, I knew it, but I remembered it. I have never made it, so … Read More
Fr. Z’s Kitchen and Remembrance of Things Past
Each year when the Feast of St Mary Magdalene comes around, I remember certain people, and not just those named Magdalene. I remember, for example, a certain priest and his mother. On a hot Roman summer evening in 1989, on … Read More
Fr. Z’s Kitchen: Garofolato!
Summer notwithstanding, I have had a hankering for something Roman that I haven’t had for a while. Garofolato. In Italian, chiodi … “nails” are cloves… but indifferent cloves. They could be cloves of garlic (which are spicchi). However chiodi di … Read More
Fr. Z’s Kitchen: ‘Na ciumacata! Daje!
