I was going to post this last night, but then I thought it would be better to put Part II of the two-part post on forgiveness up. I didn’t think a serious post about forgiveness should be interrupted with a post about making a good shandy.
But I have been on a quest for the perfect [...]

I may have to add this one to the Eucharistic Bread Recipes page:
Luther Seminary Communion Bread
We had this one today. I wanted to try a new one since we have a new wooden paten and a new wooden chalice. My Roman Catholic and Episcopal friends are scratching their heads right now and asking themselves,”Did he [...]

Lemon Icebox Pie
March 7th, 2009 · 15 Comments
This is my dad’s favorite recipe. It was originally on the Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk can. They have since renamed it “Magic Lemon Pie” and have replaced the meringue with a whipped cream topping. Key lime pie has whipped cream on it: lemon icebox pie has a meringue.
I increased the egg whites to three [...]

Deep Thoughts . . .
February 11th, 2009 · 3 Comments
. . . are eluding me. I know my loyal readers (both of them) have been clamoring for another post, but frankly I haven’t come up with anything interesting to write about.
I will, however, make a couple of recommendations for you:
1) Ed Eubanks has a post about the words we use for our mealtimes, [...]
Pound Cake – Old School
January 31st, 2009 · 9 Comments
The SmockLady got some strawberries for tomorrow and wanted to make some pound cake to go with them. Since she has a fever, I offered to make the pound cake for her.
Of course, I was going to make Aunt Gene’s Cream Cheese Pound Cake, until I discovered that the one package of cream cheese in [...]

There. That got your attention, didn’t it? Well, I saw an example of it last night.
Job #2, as many of you know, is at a restaurant. I work three shifts a week, and whereas I was a delivery person last go-around, this time I am up front most of the time: running the register, greeting [...]
Porridge
October 12th, 2008 · 3 Comments
I was just reading about this year’s Golden Spurtle winner. Now I want some porridge.
I love me some porridge. Here are some fun facts about porridge. (Unlike Late Show Fun Facts, these are actually factual, to the best of my knowledge.)
According to tradition, porridge should only be stirred with a spirtle, not a spoon, as [...]
As this broken bread was scattered . . .
October 5th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Our Prayer of Adoration for World Communion Sunday this morning was adapted from a passage from the Didache:
As this broken bread was scattered over the mountains,
And was gathered together to become one,
So let Your Body of Faithful be gathered together
From the ends of the earth into Your kingdom;
for the glory and power are Yours forever.
This [...]
Poverty & Hunger: Myths and Facts
October 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment
In Preparation for World Communion Sunday. From the web site of the Food Bank of Northeast Louisiana.
Myth: They are not hungry. They are fat!
Fact: This is called the Obesity Paradox. The population that is forced to live on cheap, starchy foods are, in many cases, fat. In some cases they are morbidly obese. They [...]
Potato Salad

I love potato salad. Not a great thing for someone who is still losing weight, but I made some last night. It was OK. Not great, but OK. We didn’t have all the ingredients to make a great potato salad.
We like a “baked potato salad.” No, the potatoes aren’t baked, but it has all the [...]
