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

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.

These Daily Rome Shots are SO evocative! They are causing serious bouts of Romanitas Depravation Syndrome. So much so that I am determined to get there this fall if I have to stow away in the hole of a tramp steamer.
This pasta with mushrooms (Or is it truffles?) looks delicious. Can Father Z enlighten us with a name and recipe?
Oh great! not again. (i gave up pasta for lent-)
That does look good. “In vino veritas.”
From Cato the Elder’s “De agri cultura” written c. 160 BC, a recipe for Roman doughnuts:
“Globi”
Ingredients :
½ cup ricotta cheese
½ cup spelt or wheat flour
Lard for frying
¼ cup honey
Poppy seeds for garnish
https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/bar-test-kitchen-globi/
These Roman doughnuts could be perfect after Holy Mass next Sunday or for your neighborhood’s next Triumphal March.
Semper G: or for selling at the Games in your local amphitheatre. Along with the ocelot spleens and otters’ noses. Oh yes, and the vulture wine ;)
jaykay: “Take me out to the amphitheater, take me out to the plebes. Buy me some garum and otter’s noses”
“Ocelot spleens! Get yer red-hot ocelot spleens here!”
Harryus Carayus: “Hey! Whaddya know? In the seats today is Abeus Fromanus, the Ocelot Spleen King of Rome! …and another swing and a miss by Soyus Boyus. He’s gotta work on that swing, six months as a galley slave will give him the arms of Hercules. It’s good to see so many barbarians in the seats today. Hey! You Gauls! It’s not “Bouiuse!” it’s “Boo!”
