My View For Awhile: Heading to the Shrine

I’m on my way to the wonderful Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Wisconsin. A couple days ago, the flights were ghastly, as most are these days, jammed and delayed by several hours thus resulting a a very late arrival. No reason given.

This was lunch in view of a long day.   I did get something in the lounge during the second delay (3 hours).

Putting the “OMF” in “Comfort+”

The next day we were off to lunch to meet up with a prominent Catholic writer speaker in the Chicago area, this unfortunate archdiocese.  Alas, we drove past Superdawg without stopping, which made my heart cry.

Consolation was given to my riven heart later through an exceptionally good GT.  Remember: the proper plural of Gin & Tonic is “Gins & Tonic”.

There is an old phrase: the bread was fresh and was good, the cheese was not and was excellent.   My hosts for these days pick both well.

For the Great Roman.  He will understand.

I made a large quantity of pasta “al seminario”, much as what we had fairly often in Rome.

A Florentine cut with a little Dijon vinaigrette for scale.

I have eaten this well since Rome.

It hasn’t been all beef.  No.  Variety is the spice of life.

We used this stuff.  I must say, it’s GREAT.  Try it!  HERE  Japanese Barbecue Sauce

“Our Ingredients Matter”… “Authentic Family Recipe”

Am I forcing a comparison too much to say that Our Rites Matter and our AUTHENTIC Family Rite is the TRADITIONAL Roman Rite?

Today, I will pick up a rental at ORD and continue to journey to the Shrine.   It should be a beautiful driving day.
