“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful.
That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

Loading ...This is really useful when travelling… and also when you aren’t and you need backup internet NOW! I use this for my DMR “Zednet” hotspot when I’m mobile. It’s a ham radio thing.
If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

Very few people, when confronted with a bottle of anchovy syrup, say “sniff”. :)
Nonne liquamen istud re vera garum est? Numquam id gustavi ego, sed te commendante fortasse mox ausurus sum …
(Isn’t that sauce actually garum? I’ve never tried it but based on your recommendation, maybe soon I’ll will …)
Hmmm… the poverty in me thinks that bottle would make a nice container for herb-infused olive oil, with some garden or farm market-fresh sprigs. If you get more, you could get quite a collection of nice oils to use. No?
Fr. Z,
How does it compare to dissolving some anchovy paste in hot oil in the pan before tossing with the pasta?
Random Friar: Yes! And I make that sort of thing.
Flambeaux: You need to add some red pepper flakes and garlic to that. Oh great, now I’m hungry.
Petrus,
Garlic is always in there. Whether or not I use red pepper depends on my mood. :D
Yes… raw garlic and hot red pepper. I also use some chopped parsley.
Mmm…I know what I want for dinner tonight. Alas, it won’t happen. *sigh*
Every Christmas Eve we have linguine alle acciughe and pan fried smelts…mmmmmmmmmmm !
How much would you use for a family of four in say, pasta?
I get emotional whenever I realize my can of Mountain Dew is empty.
I checked the Amazon website-store for this item and it appears to be not available at the moment…
I do so love those stinky little fish and anything made from them! If I knew how to type Homer Simpson’s “yummy” sound I would. You’ll just have to use your imagination.
A subtle hint for more?
I think they’re out on Amazon, so alas, he is only able to reminisce, for now.
