What a Day to Be Alive!

Today is a great day indeed. For one thing, it’s Friday. As a Catholic this means just one thing – a chance once again to give up something worldly for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ who gave up all for me. Yeah, it’s a Meatless Friday in our house. That is just fine.

The idea of spending a night sleeping under the stars sounds so romantic. In many ways it is. Imagine looking up into the vastness of the night sky filled with shimmering points of light and realizing how small we truly are compared to the universe.

A Blast from the Past This Friday

Okay, maybe not that far back, but you get the general idea. I’ve been so busy lately that I didn’t plan a proper Friday Share for today. Rather than skip a day (today marks 1,510 consecutive days together), I thought I’d reach back a few years and shake the cobwebs off a recipe we’ve shared before. More on that in a moment.

A Simple Spicy Lenten Friday

Once upon a time, a very long time ago I made meatless burritos using tortillas and refried beans. That was it. Simple. Of course, these were after school study burritos when I was a teenager.

So It’s Not a Lobster

Today is National Lobster Day. How convenient, since it is also a Friday. Lobsters are great served as part of a Surf and Turf ensemble. But on their own, unless you are dining at The Palms, the tails are way to small for a meal.

Friday Night Pub Special

Friday Night and Pubs just seem to go together, don’t they? The only problem with pubs is the notice level. Maybe it’s just me but when I like to go to dinner, I also like to have a conversation with the people at the table with me. Pubs are loud.
