… Look, every one knows I’m no kitchen connoisseur, but at least I try from time to time. It’s not every night I have cereal and a vodka tonic for dinner. I also know there’s no shortage in the niche of Catholic Cooking on the interwebs; Father Z has dibs on the fancified food fair and Jimmy Akin has dibs on the low carb healthy stuff. My favorite, The Catholic Foodie, is the more realistic of the two… in that... Read more

… so my son asked me for an allowance the other day. I asked him where he learned such a foul loathsome word and, of course, he said he learned it at school. Rotten public school children and their corrupting wicked ideas! So I told him we don’t use that kind of language in this house and banished him to his room lest he gets any more crazy ideas.

… what is this foreign stuff bursting forth from the Earth. Behold, it is edible vegetation commonly referred to as produce! And I made it. Well, I didn’t make it, in that all things were created by God… but I helped it a little bit. What an amazing feat considering I am famous for killing houseplants by simply re-potting them. I’ve got a basket of figs, some tomatoes, 2 cucumbers and lots of okra. I even had enough figs to... Read more
