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

Of molluscacide and cinema. Of opening up and digging in.
On my break from my sorting and throwing, I set my DVR to the Olympics (so that I could skip the, tarnation, commercials). I cooked and ate and watched a movie. For supper, I had mussels, steamed in white wine … Read More
Spiffy photo of real nuns on Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day!
For Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, a friend sent me this spiffy photo of real nuns. I’ll bet the Magisterium of Nuns has boycotted Chick-fil-A. Tonight I will make chicken in solidarity with Chick-fil-A. By the way… on Monday I ate beef, … Read More

A Sunday afternoon riff on salty bread and Chinese noodles
I am enjoying a break in my evening for a bit of frivolous entertainment. I was going to watch Bladerunner, but opted for something considerably lighter. However, in a moment of post-modern self-conscious connection-making I’ll make a connection between this … Read More
