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 [...]

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 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.)

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

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 [...]

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 [...]
