Feeding Body and Brain

I’m adding two new blogs to the blogroll and wanted to introduce them to you.

First up, feed the body…I’m seriously thinking about making this Pasta Prima Vera recipe for tomorrow, even if it will kill me.

Reader Dick T. introduced me to the Pioneer Woman and I curse him for it, even as I laugh. But really – she does wonderful recipes, often with step-by-step illustrations, and she’s a riot to read, as well. Reading her is like reading Rachel Lucas, if Rachel could cook.

When you’re done with the Pioneer Woman, you can waddle back to your screen and read up on your history at McNamara’s Blog. The fellow (I’ve met him, he’s an Irish me-darling sweetie) is a PhD, historian, author and archivist, and he always has some little gem of a Catholic tidbit. More importantly, his study gives him useful perspective on things. Given that we are (I am more convinced, daily) entering into an era of real church-persecution, whereby not just Catholics, but all Christians who identify outside of the PC mainstream, will find themselves treated badly, the historical references are both timely and inspiring.

I had a lot I wanted to write on, today, but you know…the world is going nuts, and very quickly, and sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. So, go make some pasta, go read some blogs. Tomorrow, we raise our swords anew.

Another brain-feeder: Richard John Neuhaus on Catholicism, Ecumenism, Primacy. You’ll want to read it, Christians. We’ll either hang together or we’ll hang separately.
