OK, maybe this doesn’t count–but I’m abstaining from meat permanently. I’ve had 4 slip ups in the last 4 months, but it’s going well. I truly feel as though this is something God wants to me to do, so I’m trying!
Yes, you should be. Introducing a detailed description of a scrumptious feast into the middle of a thread where we’re all supposed to be thinking of the serious subject of fasting. But since you’ve promised to join me, I shall forgive you. . . this time. I wonder how many days we can keep it up?Seriously I’m sorry I tempted you. . . .
Yes, I miss it.Lovely part of the world Yorkshire, I’m in the next county along which is equally beautiful.
Hi vegpotter:OK, maybe this doesn’t count–but I’m abstaining from meat permanently. I’ve had 4 slip ups in the last 4 months, but it’s going well. I truly feel as though this is something God wants to me to do, so I’m trying!
Dear RomanoYes, you should be. Introducing a detailed description of a scrumptious feast into the middle of a thread where we’re all supposed to be thinking of the serious subject of fasting.

Yes, I miss it.
Hi Teresa:Dear Romano
For 6 days then rest and feast on the 7th.
God Bless you and much love and peace to you
Teresa
You are right. No-one should fast on a Sunday nor plan to do that.
Dear RomanoHi Teresa:
TOO LATE AGAIN!.
I’ve been giving some thought to your notion of a celebratory Sunday meal and have concluded that it is not entirely without merit. And since today brought the best news I’ve heard for a long time – the election of Cardinal Ratzinger! – I decided to break my fast and. . . yes. . .
CELEBRATE!
Menu: A tossed salad of lettuce, cabbage, cucumber, avocado, and pimento, with a dressing of flax seed oil, balsamic vinegar, and crushed chili, and, as an added sinful luxury, a side dish of steamed cauliflower and French beans! For dessert: a big glass of water in which I’m happy to say my spoon wouldn’t stand up, possibly because it was filtered water.
Now doesn’t that sound tempting!
GOD BLESS POPE BENEDICT XVI!
Ok, I’m a wimp. I try the bread and water only on Wednesday and Friday thing, (Source: Our Lady’s messages in Medjugorje) but I’m not real consistant here. I just grab something forgetting what day it is. I suffer from AAADD (Age Amplified Attention Deficit Disorder).And since (in my humble opinion) bread and water is for wimps, I will as usual skip the bread.
Well. . . . OK, if you insist. So long as it’s real bread and Australian wine!By the way can I have bread and a little watered down wine with that salad, I take bread with all meals and wine with some?
God Bless you and much love and peace to you

Dear RomanoWell. . . . OK, if you insist. So long as it’s real bread and Australian wine!
As for your AAADD, thanks for the translation. I suffer from ASD myself (Alphabet Soup Disorder) and can never understand what these things mean unless somebody tells me.
Yes, Teresa. I had noticed. And guess who was responsible for that. . . ?…by the way this thread has gone from discussing not eating to discussing what we like to eat, human nature, so very weak !!!
Most bread is fake bread so you’ve probably eaten lots of it. It can be difficult to tell unless your a bank teller.I’m having trouble working out what real bread is, I haven’t eaten any fake bread yet?
Dear RomanoYes, Teresa. I had noticed. And guess who was responsible for that. . . ?
Naughty you.
