Lent, more fasting, bread (lots of bread! Including hot cross buns), a new segment on the Catholic Foodie (Mary in the Kitchen)... And Char and I take on more Lenten reflection questions... about Shawshank Redemption this time. All of this, and more, on the Catholic Foodie, where food meets faith!
Here are a few of the links mentioned in the show:
I read a book a number of years ago that really stuck me by it's simplicity and depth. The Privilege to Be Catholic by Fr. Oscar Lukefahr, C.M.
On the menu today... a mega seafood blowout with Big D, a long-overdue date night with my honey, our Lebanese New Year's celebration (complete with grape leaves and hummus!), and the Epiphany (with a heads-up towards Mardi Gras!). We also have our first "Weekly Blog Post Recap," and we announce the winner of our contest for the book set of Time Management: A Catholic Approach.
Oh, and did I mention that Char co-hosts this show with me?
Join us here at the Catholic Foodie, where food meets faith!
In this episode we mention the following blog posts:
We are in the Year of the Priest. And I want to share some great news with you about one priest in particular... and his new Family.
Just this past week Fr. Michael Harrington, a diocesan priest of the Archdiocese of Boston, professed the vows of Poverty, Chastity, Obedience, and Fidelity to the Pope according to the statutes of the Institute of Jesus the Priest, a branch of the Pauline Family founded by Blessed James Alberione.
Archbishop Gregory M. Aymond, Archbishop of New Orleans, conferred the Sacrament of Confirmation on 78 young people in our parish Monday night. I had the pleasure, with the assistance of a number of adult leaders, of preparing these young men and women to receive the sacrament.
And I have to tell you that this was the most reverent, holy, and prayerful Confirmation liturgy I have ever attended. I was absolutely delighted to witness it.
Here is an audioboo of my thoughts concerning the liturgy... and a new TV show that has me hooked: FlashForward...
Besides the celebration of the Eucharist, what is the holiest meal you have ever had?
This Sunday's episode, episode 42, will cover "holy meals," and I want to hear from YOU!
What to know more? Listen to this audioboo:

"Like food? Want to learn more about your faith? Jeff is personable, easy to listen to, and very knowledgeable about both subjects." - Mike
"Jeff does a fantastic job blending a love of food with a passion for his faith. I always look forward to a new episode - Keep up the good work!" - Lisa
"I'm not a cook, though I like to eat. I do love learning about my Catholic faith, though. I didn't expect to become a big fan of the Catholic Foodie as I have; Jeff makes me want to try my hand at some of the cooking and recipes. It's not JUST about food, though, and his perspective on faith is valuable catechesis, and I appreciate every show." - Sarah
"The Catholic Foodie is an excellent show about food and our Catholic Faith." - Anonymous
"Jeff's podcast is very enjoyable. He does a great job of relating food to faith and vice versa. I especially love the episodes about coffee! Keep up the good work!" - JoAnna
"It's great to hear a podcast that's relaxing and low-key. Love the soft jazz music you use." - Fr. Jim
"Though he doesn't live in New Orleans proper, Jeff Young's love of food, cooking and God is influenced by this Catholic city in which delicious meals abound! If you are interested in how the Church's past and present history intersects with food, this is the podcast for you. Young's talents as an educator shine through; he explains concepts in a lively way that never sounds preachy." - Soyviz
"More exciting than Sunday sports channels, more invigorating than a Swedish massage, and more inspiring than a full set of 1955 Funk and Wagnell Encyclopedias… or the hardcover edition Code of Canon Law! Grab a cup of java, or maybe a good glass of vino, and come on down and spend some time with the Catholic Foodie… Where food meets faith!" - Bro. Jer
