THE CATHOLIC COOKBOOK PROJECT
As you may have heard, I am writing a cookbook. Now, this is no average cookbook. It’s a Catholic cookbook. And it’s not your average Catholic cookbook either.
Believe it or not, I will follow food throughout Salvation History.
Sound strange? Different? Unique?
Good. It’s supposed to. It’s my angle. My take. My vision.
Kids Eat Like Animals!
Do you have trouble getting your kids to eat healthy foods?
This article by Jim Mitchem may be just what you need. [Thanks to Chris Brogan for tweeting the link!]
I remember being told at the table, from time to time, that I was not an animal, and that I shouldn't eat like an animal. Well, apparently my parents were wrong.
What do you think?
Would this work for you and your kids?
Catholic Foodie Interviewed by Daughters of St. Paul
At the CNMC I was interviewed by Sr. Margaret for her website. You can see the very cool interview below:
Boy Attacks Habaneros - But Who's the Winner?

Christopher decided to attack a couple of habanero peppers the other night. It was quite a sight to see! He loves hot food, including peppers. But this was the first time he had tried Habaneros. Check out this short video!
Will Technorati Allow Me to Claim My Site?
Technorati is a huge directory of blogs. It's the biggest of its kind. And being listed there is a big deal.
I submitted catholicfoodie.com to Technorati months ago. After submission, Technorati needs to verify that you are the blog owner. It should be an easy process, right? Well, it's not.
I've done this before. They give you a code, which you embed in a blog post (like this one). Technorati is then supposed to scan your blog for the code. I did that. In June. It has still not recognized me as the owner of this blog.
But I am the owner. Aren't I?
St. Martha - Patron Saint of Cooks

Too busy to pray? Too preoccupied with all YOU have to do that you miss what other people need?
Then you might want to get to know St. Martha of Bethany. You know, Martha and Mary, the sisters of Lazarus. You do remember that story, don't you? If not, you can read about it in Luke 10:38-42.
Basically, Jesus was coming to dinner. Jesus, the miracle worker. The teacher of profound practicality for the poor regarding the Kingdom of God. Jesus was something of a celebrity. And he was coming to dinner. Of course, this wasn't the only time that Jesus would visit the house of Lazarus. Jesus was a miracle worker, yes, but he was also a friend of that family.
Still, he was coming for dinner, and there was so much to be done!
Real Men Drink Tea

“Real men drink tea.”
That’s what the sign said. Really.
I had heard about this place, The English Tea Room in downtown Covington, LA. Char had been there a handful of times. And a good friend of mine has been there once. He loved the Shepherd’s Pie and told me that I had to try it. From what I’ve heard, the front door doesn’t see many men walk in.
But today this man went.

Guess what!

Isn't that exciting?

Is Yelp helping or hurting restaurants?

Just the other day I was reading through my favorite foodie magazine, Bon Appetit. I came across an article that jumped out at me. Why? Because it not only dealt with food, but also social media.
Cool.
I read it and it made me think.
Longtime Listener CNMC Challenge

A CHALLENGE
If you listened to CF77, then you probably know that a longtime listener of the Catholic Foodie has taken a special interest in seeing that the Catholic Foodie make it to the CNMC this year. He contacted me the other day and encouraged me to approach my listeners and readers for donations to attend the CNMC. He said that he would match whatever donations come in.
Greek Fest 2009 Video
We love this time of the year. Not only because it is the end of the school year, but because of Greek Fest in New Orleans. We love it. And we go every year.
Burn Yourself, Not Your Grill
Burn with passion, that is.
Whatever your passion may be, it can carry you to places you've never dreamed. What do you love? Stamp collecting? Playing the trombone? Dancing till the wee hours of the night? Blogging or Podcasting? Cooking? Entertaining? Studying? (Yes, you can actually be passionate about studying.) Dining? Spending time with family and friends? Reading (like Sarah Reinhard)?
