When is Cornish Not a Chicken?
When it’s a Cornish Style Beef Pastry. I’m not even sure what a Cornish Pastry is, so I looked it up. It’s a British baked turnover pastry associated with Cornwall. Does that help? Didn’t help me.

Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Before we get into today’s amazing recipe, I wanted to take a moment to talk about faith. Yeah, I know I seem to spend a lot of time talking faith. Faith isn’t some kind of a cloak that can be checked at the door. True faith is a part of your being.

Several lifetimes ago, I was a single mom working my way through school. It’s amazing how creative you can get when it comes to stretching the food budges.

Well it is Tuesday after all. Although I must confess, the day I made these Chimichangas for my guys marked the third day in a row we had a South of the Border inspired supper. What can I say?

Before we get to cooking, I want to wish my bouncing baby boy a very happy 50th Birthday. Wow, that kid is old! Oh wait, I guess that makes me even older. Love you sweetie!

Can you believe we are already half-way through November? Only two more Sundays remain in the Liturgical Year C of Church. Soon we will begin all over again in our Gospel Readings. It only took us three years. I don’t know about you, but I really don’t remember Sunday Gospels from three years ago.

November 15 is National Clean Out Your Fridge Day. It was designed to create room for all the goodies of Thanksgiving, both in the prep and afterwards. Why do this on November 15 and not the Sunday before Thanksgiving is beyond me.

When I was a girl growing up, I thought all Christians were Catholic. The children I played with on the public school play ground were the same children who sat with me on Saturdays as we prepared for our First Communion.

Each Friday I put the final touches on our Meal Menu for the following week. Once the shopping list is printed, Hubby goes through the pantries, refrigerators and freezers, crossing off what he finds from the list to avoid any unnecessary purchases.

Today is National Chicken Soup for the Soul Day. Now I thought about sharing a Chicken Noodle Soup recipe, but we’ve recently done that. We’ve also done Chicken and Rice Soup. So I thought we’d reach back into our catalog of soups and enjoy the most amazing Tomato Soup on the planet.

Wherever you are on this the 11th day of the 11th month, at the 11th hour bow your head in a moment of silence. Honor the men and women everywhere who answered the call to don a uniform and protect our country. Without them we might not have the freedoms we take for granted.
