Today is Shrove Tuesday, so farewell to meat - Carne vale!I try to avoid it during Lent, unless of course someone gives me some or I have a guest or two.
Anything interesting you can do with vegetable?
Congratulations to those of you who were "shriven" , went to confession, today.
In England we traditionally eat pancakes, in some parts of the country today is known as Pancake Day. The photograph shows a traditional pancake race: ladies running whilst tossing these commestibles. They, pancakes not ladies, have come to resemble French crepes, thin and dull. Traditionally I suspect they were more like a Spanish omelette, containing all those things forbidden in Lent, meat cheese, butter, oil etc., or maybe they were just stuffed with them.
In Greece I am told an American fast food chain called McDonalds offer a McLent Burger, which contains none of the traditionally prescribed foods.

I take it you are eating fish? I have some good fish recipes I'll post over the next few weeks.
Fish! such decadent luxury in Lent, Paulinus!
Give us recipes for gruel and skilly!
The Jews for whom we pray wish each other well over the Fast. I send the same wishes to you Father, with your gruel and skilly.
What is skilly?

Vegetables? Let the rot and throw at the nearest politician!
Two of my faves:
Spaghetti squash with red sauce, topped with sauted yellow squash and zuccini.
Parsnips, carrots, yams and butternut squash chopped up into 1" pieces, cover with evoo, salt and pepper. Stick in 400 degree oven for 1/2 hour - hour (depending on amount of veggies.
