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

The Roman sun rose today at 7:06 and will set at 18:53. The Ave Maria is slated for 19:00, which is a 15 minute shift from yesterday. Gosh, things change so fast. Breakfast today was more along the lines of … Read More
My View For Awhile: Southbound
I’m on the hoof today, heading home after a great trip to the freezing cold north. It was only 86 yesterday. Last night my hosts and I had some classics. That’s not Norcia beer in that Norcia beer glass, but … Read More
Fr. Z’s Kitchen: A bit of Rome in Chicago
I’m visiting friends and we decided on saltimbocca alla romana. Happily, even with chain supply problems, since we are in a heavily Italian neighborhood, there was plenty of veal and good prosciutto. There was a lot more than this. The … Read More
Fr. Z’s Kitchen: In honor of Hungary’s Birthday
Some of you were asking me to make food posts. Lately, I have been very lazy in this regard. Frankly, I have not had much motivation to cook, especially do to the disgusting news and photos from Rome lately. There … Read More
Fr. Z’s Kitchen: Roman Birthday Edition
Because yesterday was the 2775th Birthday of Rome, I decided to be Roman in my evening repast. Spaghetti all’amatriciana. I didn’t have any bucatini, but this bronze-cut high-quality pasta is a principled choice. Actually, it is chitarra. All’amatriciana is a … Read More

OH THE HUMANITY! Overcoming a dire casearian lacuna.
There are serious problems in the world today. For example, at the grocery store I was recently confronted with this dire turn of fate’s merciless wheel. There is, it seems, a nationwide shortage of… CREAM CHEESE. Good grief… it’s like… … Read More
