> [@EinsteinsHund](#): > > Good on him. I imagine said catholic hypocrites (much of them clergy) boiling with rage now at Francis over this sermon. The decent Catholics OTOH knew this all along, but it’s good to see a Pope express this sentiment. Very remarkable. The so called “Church Militant”, of which President Bannon apparently is a member, are opposed to the Pope. It’s gonna get ugly. ---

Good. * * * \*\* St. Brigid’s Hearty Healing Beef Stew\*\* Hearty Healing Beef Stew Ingredients: 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3-4 pounds beef stew meat 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided 2 large yellow onions, cut into 1-inch pieces 3 sprigs fresh thyme (This time I used 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme) 2 bay leaves 1 cinnamon stick (I am out so I used 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon) 2 (1-inch) pieces fresh orange peel 8 cups Beef Broth 1 - 15 oz can Sweet Potato Puree 1 cup red wine 8-10 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (the first time I used 1 bag of Trader Joe’s Carrots of Many Colors) 1 head of celery, chopped 1-2 bunches of kale, chopped Directions: Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the meat, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and brown on all sides for 8-10 minutes total, but avoid getting a crust on the outside. (Make sure you scrape up all those caramelized brown bits from the bottom of your pot to give your stew a deep, rich flavor!) Stir in the onion, thyme, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, orange peel, and remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant. ---

My mom used to make ghost rolls. I sure loved those things as a child. You take a large marshmallow, roll it in melted butter, then roll it in cinnamon; wrap a piece of crescent roll dough around it, roll the thing in the butter and cinnamon; set up a bunch of these in a muffin tin (with papers) and bake till the crescent roll dough is properly done. You end up with a delightful gooey, sticky mess, so prepare ahead for clean-up. ---

> [@SteveG1](#): > > Oh you did it now! Don’t MAKE me post my trout recipe! 😃 OK, then, I’ll post mine. I’s called “Navarrese style” by the Navarrese (as opposed to Madrid people, who think that you make stuff Navarrese by adding tomato sauce to it): Clean the trout. Leave the spine but FFS clean it properly. Stick a slice of bacon, prosciutto or similar (whole or cut in strips) inside it. Fry. Transfer to a plate. Eat. ---

> [@Nava](#): > > … Leave the spine but FFS clean it properly… I remember that part. My brother taught me how to do that. You perform an alimentary autopsy, to find out what it was eating, so you could choose the best bait. ---
