Mrs.
Last night I got some veg going and then put some color on a small spatchcocked chicken.
It was delightful.
Since some of you are begging for more food pics, I was out for lunch with friends today. There was one person in the restaurant whose presence was so odious that it was all that I could do to stay in my chair.
Anyway, these were stuff with sausage.
Second course, tongue and a green sauce with fruit mustard.
Close to the Vatican and next to the Pachamama church, is the venerated residence of the long-time Papal Executioner, Mastro Titta.
At the Pachamama church, in sight of the doors of San Pietro (whose dome is turning black), there are great piles of junk, seemingly “art”. It’s junk, really,… but not without a purpose. Look at this… tell me what you see.
Remember… this is where they venerated a demonic idol.
I’m tired today. I’m going to stay in tonight and catch up on the video of Game 6.
Can we have, today, a rest from a puzzle? It’s work to post them. I would appreciate a couple things. Prayers, please. There is something in Rome that both elevates and represses. Also, please if you are going to shop online, remember me. I need that boost. Thanks in advance.
Oh yes, the odious person in the restaurant was the present day “papal executioner” … of the Traditional Latin Mass. I was amused to see that the bottle he and his lunch companion has was entitled: Inferno. So appropriate.
Not making this up.

Father I love the food photos, in fact all the photos. Please keep sending. I’m pushing The Forest of Symbols with several people and to use your link. I assume what we’re looking at in the photo of the church door is homeless people under umbrellas with all their junk? No? The hanging stuff kind of looks like day of the dead junk. yes? Do I win a prize?
Continued prayers for your strength restored
Father, is the Dome literally changing colour? Any speculation as to what it may be?
FYI, the chicken looks beautiful!
Father, would you be willing or able to take an updated picture of the Dome of Saint Peter’s?
Santa Maria in Traspontina is a stunning church with an interesting history, but it seems to have always attracted strange folk, though I know nothing about the parish life or how it’s run. Many homeless people gather there and some are clearly disturbed. How many suffer strictly from psychological issues or spiritual issues, I don’t know but I suppose it’s always both to one or another degree. Whenever one sees such scenes, it’s a powerful reminder of the deep pain and sufferance out there.
