Today is both the feast day of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Our Lady’s feast day is fixed on June 27, while the Sacred Heart of Jesus is tied to Pentecost Sunday, which all goes back to Easter.

Feasting on a Beautiful Friday
The Patron Saint of France is a woman. Or rather a girl. Her name is Joan of Arc. She was born in Normremy, in northeast France. Joan was just 19 when she was burned alive. What crimes could this girl have committed that cost her very life?

It never ceases to amaze me how Christ continued to guide the early church even after His death and resurrection. Saint Paul is instrumental in the writings of the New Testament. Saint Luke has an entire Gospel and yet he was not an Apostle.

Where to begin for today’s delicious share? I guess we should acknowledge National Days first. Today is South Dakota Day. South Dakota, politically speaking, is near and dear to my heart. I nominate their governor, Kristi Noem, to be the first female President of the United States.

The Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is another of those pesky moveable feasts. Like so many feasts, this one is tied to Easter Sunday, which is also moveable. Here’s how confusing the date is. The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus falls on the Friday that follows the second Sunday after Pentecost Sunday, which is 50 days after Easter. It is the Friday following the Octave of Corpus Christi.

Kiddo is not a big fan of Fridays in our house. Sure, he enjoys grilled cheese and tomato soups. He even likes Tuna Melts and meatless pastas. When it comes to most things that swim, he’s not always a fan. He’ll eat squid but not necessarily want salmon. That said, this simple battered shrimp received Kiddo approval.

I grew up eating Cornmeal Coated Fried Catfish. It was the only fish I knew that didn’t come from a can such as tuna or salmon. It wasn’t until the Fast-Food Chain, Long John Silver, opened in our neck of the woods when I was in high school that I had even tried battered fish.

When we hear “Florentine”, our thoughts immediately gravitate to spinach and Italy. Interestingly enough, the phrase a la Florentine was actually coined by the French. While we might not fully know why Florence is so often associated with spinach, some believe the style of dish was named for the birthplace of Catherine de Medicis; who introduced Spinach into Callic cuisine with her marriage to France’s Prince Henry in 1533.
Shrimp Linguine with Tomato Sauce
Doesn’t this look yummy? Yeah, wish I could take the credit for this picture, but in all honesty, I can’t. As I mentioned before, my poor lap top is in the hospital for brain surgery. Until I have my own system up and running again, I am stealing pictures from the world-wide-web rather than down-load my own pictures. Still cooking, still snapping away, just keeping my pictures for another day. Maybe someday soon, I’ll go back and update with my photos.
Valentine Seafood Supper
This year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday. In our house, we observe the “No Meat On Fridays” rule for Catholics. I know it’s old-fashion and most Catholics today don’t abide by the “old rules” – it’s just our thing.
Citrus Kissed Scallops with Pepper Strips over Pasta
For whatever reason, we’ve been in a Pasta-Scallop frame of mind. Hubby is a big fan of Scallops. I really don’t think I had ever tasted a scallop before marring him. And to be honest, the first time I tried scallop anything I was not thrilled. So what changed?
