Well, I see some of my favorites fr New Fortune. The dim sum is amazing and a lively fun place. Are the soup dumplings still on the dim Sum menu? they r not actually “soup dumplings” they are called “pork bun dumpling” I think I remember. When you get them and bite into them, soup broth fills your palate with something “other worldly”. You actualy have to eat them on the chinese flat spoon…. time for a road trip back home to DC…
Gosh, but that looks good! I haven’t had dim sum for years. I used to go to LA’s Chinatown with friends from work, one of whom spoke Cantonese and did all of the ordering. The rest of us were never entirely sure what we were getting.
“Snowball in a wet paper bag”? Looks like a sticky rice ball to me, wrapped in bamboo leaves. Dragon Boat Festival is coming up, and that’s a traditional food for it: they’re called zongzi and have fruit inside, or other things like egg, sweet bean paste, or meat. I think at Dim Sim restaurants they serve them year-round though.
Thanks for joining us for Sunday brunch and some Dim Sum. It was a honor and privilege for me and my physician friends, Drs. Keith & Christina Burkhart. God bless you. And keep up the great work on the Blog and in your travels. Hope you have a safe trip home and look forward to seeing you in the area in the near future. Maybe the Nuncio will call you soon to be our next Bishop of Harrisburg?
New Fortune is a busy place. I’ve been there on weekends and has alway been packed. You were just a few minutes away from the parish were I attend Mass when I’m in the area, St. Martin de Tours in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Congratualtions on your wonderful commentary during last Sunday’s Mass.
Irishgirl, dog meat is not part of the dim sum menu :)

“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

Everyone, work to get this into your parish bulletins and diocesan papers.
The most evident mark of God’s anger and the most terrible castigation He can inflict upon the world are manifested when He permits His people to fall into the hands of clerics who are priests more in name than in deed, priests who practice the cruelty of ravening wolves rather than the charity and affection of devoted shepherds.

“Until the Lord be pleased to settle, through the instrumentality of the princes of the Church and the lawful ministers of His justice, the trouble aroused by the pride of a few and the ignorance of some others, let us with the help of God endeavor with calm and humble patience to render love for hatred, to avoid disputes with the silly, to keep to the truth and not fight with the weapons of falsehood, and to beg of God at all times that in all our thoughts and desires, in all our words and actions, He may hold the first place who calls Himself the origin of all things.”

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.
“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
“The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility; rather it proves the offender's inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for every one else the proper pleasure of ritual.”
- C.S. Lewis

As for Latin…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.
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.
Please use my links when shopping! I depend on your help.
Ooooh looks good.

Enjoy!!
So nice to see you out with friends having a good time and, from the looks of it, good food. I want a dumpling!
Not nice…some of us are dieting this year. :-)
Gosh, but that looks good! I haven’t had dim sum for years. I used to go to LA’s Chinatown with friends from work, one of whom spoke Cantonese and did all of the ordering. The rest of us were never entirely sure what we were getting.
No chicken feet?!? LOL.
OK, what is that stuff in the 4th picture down?
Looks like a snowball in a wet brown paper bag.
Is that Father Trigillio again? Wow, two wonderful priests in one place. The food looks delicious!
Susan..I was afraid to ask, but I wondered what that is, too.
Hao Chi!
“Snowball in a wet paper bag”? Looks like a sticky rice ball to me, wrapped in bamboo leaves. Dragon Boat Festival is coming up, and that’s a traditional food for it: they’re called zongzi and have fruit inside, or other things like egg, sweet bean paste, or meat. I think at Dim Sim restaurants they serve them year-round though.

Looks pretty good, though I don’t eat Chinese food on a normal basis….I’d be afraid of eating dog meat!
Yes, that does look like Father Trigilio in one of the photos!
