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!
CF79 - Into the Kitchen
CF76 - El Camino
We have an exciting show today. Sandy Garayzar joins us from Spain. She is a remarkable pilgrim, wine producer and foodie. We talk about the Camino de Santiago de Compostela (the Way of St. James), vino, and food. Awesome!
Also, I briefly recap our retreat with Immaculee, particularly the messages of Our Lady of Kibeho and the power of the rosary.
CF75 - OPA! Greek Fest 2010
Char joins me on the show today to recap the Greek Fest. We talk about grilling, share some feedback, and I talk Char into sharing her Tabouleh (tabouli) recipe.
Dinner woes? Sarah Reinhard isn't scared off, but finds herself turning to Mary.
A special thanks to L'Angelus for letting us use their Ave Maria in the show! (Note: their website is cajunrecords.com).
Jesus Cooked?
Sunday's Gospel was from John 21. I love that particular reading.
CF63 - Fasting for the Feast

We are very lucky to have Char on the show again today. And many thanks to Sarah Reinhard for the awesome intro!
What's on the menu for episode 63? Well, today we fast... or, at least, we talk about fasting. And, you know, fasting makes sense only in the context of feasting. Have you ever thought of that before? I really hadn't until reading The Spirituality of Fasting by Msgr. Charles M. Murphy. Excellent book. I highly recommend it for your lenten prayer and reflection.
CF62 - Who Be Rouxbe?
On the menu today... A conversation with Joe Girard, co-founder of rouxbe.com. You can get a free 14 day trial of the full online cooking school by going to catholic.rouxbe.com.
Manny's Home Cook Revival
I came across a blog post this morning, and I just have to share it with you!

On today's show... Char and I discuss the past week and all the wonderful meals that we have had. We also talk about an excellent movie that we watched last night: Julie & Julia.
Join us for food, fun, and family here at the Catholic Foodie, where food meets faith!
Making Music Praying Twice... At the Dinner Table!
Are your kids picky eaters? Do you have a hard time keeping them in their seats during meals? Does your family meal time seem to fall waaay short of that ideal bonding experience that family meals are supposed to be?
Leah Chase on Creole Cooking
Judy Walker, food editor for the Times-Picayune (and co-author of Cooking Up a Storm: Recipes Lost and Found in the Times-Picayune of New Orleans) interviews Leah Chase in her kitchen at Dooky Chase in New Orleans.
Behind-the-scenes stuff. Fun!
It's kinda hard to hear, and it's a bit long. But, if you like kitchens, and restaurants, and gumbo, and tradition, then you'll like this video!

God Help Me: How to Grow in Prayer... Jim Beckman's awesome book on prayer. Want to grow in prayer? Read this book! I talk a bit about Chapter 3 of this book.
Another Culinary Catastrophe
It happened again.
Another culinary catastrophe.
Great idea. Great recipe. Great intentions. But not enough time to do it justice. And then there was the accident.
Here's what happened....
