Such interesting things to try.
About this blog…
“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?

What are these? and how do you use them?
From top to bottom:
King oyster mushrooms – Slice them lengthwise to make a great addition to stir-fry.
Gingko fruit – Toss them into congee (rice porridge) for flavour.
I’d love to see what Fr. Z can do with these ingredients!
I’ve never seen these in markets round my area …
(one never stops learning!)
Stop with the food posts, Father. I’m getting fatter and fatter every day! LOL.
We used to have a couple of female ginkgo trees in the neighborhood. Summer and fall would see the sidewalks choked with their fruit, which of course when trod upon released a horrible odor (they contain butyric acid). The trees were eventually uprooted, but unfortunately “they” took the male trees as well.
I usually check out the frozen dumplings first…….
