Ash Wednesday, and then every Friday until Easter Sunday.


This year the Catholic church is asking that those who are healthy and between the ages of 18 - 70, in addition to abstaining from meat on fridays during Lent, also eat only ONE main big meal a day on both Wed and Fri during Lent.


Well, that makes a lot of sense. The whole idea of eating fish is because it was always cheaper than meat. Not so, anymore. We always try to eat things like fritatta or pasta fagioli or escarole and beans, in keeping with that idea. However, on Good Friday, we usually make something like shrimp fra diavlo, which is probably not what Jesus had in mind. \:\/


How does eating one meal a day on both of those days make a lot of sense?

This year, Don Cardi is asking that the Catholic church, in addition to abstaining from eating meat on fridays, also abstain from making a collection on each Sunday during Lent.

Now that makes sense! ;\)


Don Cardi cool

Five - ten years from now, they're gonna wish there was American Cosa Nostra. Five - ten years from now, they're gonna miss John Gotti.
