Thanks for the food processor recs. I have never thought of a stick blender. Hmmm

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

The Catholic college I attended didn't serve meat of any kind on Friday's during Lent or on Ash Wednesday.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I grew up Catholic in a highly Catholic town, where most of the restaurants would have fish specials on Fridays in Lent.

Awwww, yeah, fish fries are back!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Lent itself has always been part of the Christian tradition across the gamut.

I'm pretty sure these Baptists were saying they hadn't heard much about Lent as any kind of thing, in their youths.

The cafeteria at my old job always had a Friday fish special during Lent. Boston!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've been without my work computer since before I left for vacation. I was supposed to have it back yesterday morning, but it seems they've somehow lost it. I expect they sent it to the wrong address.

IIRC, pre-Vatican II, Catholics were supposed to fast (not eat meat) on Fridays year-round. It was only after Vatican II that it was limited to Lent.

As it was, in New England in the 60s and 70s, you had non-meat options for meals on Fridays pretty much year-round, as a holdover, I figure.

I remember my grade school cafeteria (1977-1985) never offered a meat option on Fridays. Any Friday, not just Lent. It was either a fish sandwich or that gross-but-awesome pizza rectangle.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Places in New Orleans still tend to offer seafood options on Fridays.
