We are having a bit of a blizzard.
Supplies have been laid up.
I jarred some very spicy homemade mostarda last week for such an occasion. I made a batch of oranges and lemons, and a batch of carrots, celery and fennel. The second should be pretty aggressive!
Tonight a guest comes for a little beef roast and roasted veggies.
The birds are also laying up stores, despite the fierce wind and snow.
Here is a sturdy Chickadee.
Undaunted.

amidst the liturgical and ecclesial chaos……………simplicity. ahhhh. nice.
We had some recently, but luckily todays we have a respite.
Wowsers! I just looked at the radar summary.
Could you tell us what mostarda is, please? Would you provide a recipe or a link to one?
God Bless!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mostarda
The mostarda looks good, I have never heard of it before. I looked at RichR’s link. Is it a sweet heat? Fr. Z, do you watch Top Chef?
Are you sure that’s not a nuthatch?
Mmmmm. That mostarda looks good. Please give us a recipe. I thought it sounded good when you mentioned making it and now that I see it…..
three things:
one – please post the recipe
two – do you have any good chutney recipes?
three – when does the Fr. Z cookbook come out? really… you’d probably make a mint!
What does the Recipe Really Say?
This is off topic, but simply amazing. Take a look at the blatant anti-Catholicism of this following site. I was astounded when I came across it today. If you use firefox you can remove the cookie for the site and respond differently to the question of whether you are a Catholic or Mormon.

The irony is that this fellow is full of hate (or as he call it h8).

What is all that white stuff all over the chik a dees?
Sugar? Salt?
Just planted our lettus here in South Carolina. Put the corn in the ground about 2 weeks ago, a little early, but I am taking a chance.
Dog woods are starting to bloom, and the peach trees. We will have tomatos in another month and a half from my sets.
I have to get the lawn mower going again soon as well, even though it was really cold here this morning at 50 degrees.
I just hate this cold weather.
Don’t you? hee heee…..

Father,
I’m still wondering though, why the parchment paper to prepare the mostrada?
*mostarda
Sophia: Really sticky stuff doesn’t stick to it very well.
It’s a chickadee, all right. I get ’em here in the Sierra foothills in winter, too -AND nuthatches, which, tiny though they be, grab hulled peanuts from my acorn woodpecker feeder. They often drop a couple before they can get a rather large peanut to stay in their beaks. Sigh! Wish I had a good camera.
I wonder how a mostarda made with candied orange peel would be, I have a huge container of them.
I haven’t seen the nuthatches for a while, now that I think of it.
