The dreaded time has come….Lent is upon us once again. Today was Meat-Fare Sunday, or, more appropriately named, “Pig Out on Meat” Sunday. It means that the first stage, the absence of Meat, has happened. Next week, on “Cheese-Fare” Sunday, dairy will join it in the ranks of forbidden food.
So what did we do? We had a barbecue, of course! Heather and Josh invited a few of us over to their apartment for steak-kabobs, ribs and hamburgers. It was all going rather well, until the hamburger buns accidentally caught on fire and set off all the smoke alarms…it’s been so long since the Seville, I’d forgotten how testy old ovens could be!
Also there were a few others from church- Deacon Theophan, his cute little wife Svetlyana their daughter, and Christopher (who’s drunk more Bacardi 151 in one sitting than anyone else we know…!). They had to leave early, as the couple’s baby needed to be in bed by 8 and Christopher gets up for work at 5am, but we stayed until midnight. Heather and I chatted inside while Jesse and Josh smoked outside. Josh had never smoked a pipe before, but Jesse had him hooked before long!
Hopefully, we can meet with them again soon- they have a favorite “pub” down the street (which is actually a bar, but Josh calls it a pub so he can say it in front of his “Holy Friends”).
Is there such a thing as a “Beer Fare” Sunday? Just for fun?
