I think I may cut this casserole in half. After reading the comments it sounds like it’s huge!

You know how I feel about a lot of ingredients which I never have but if I could this looks delicious. Let us know how it turns out

The only reason I’m making it during Lent is for our parents. I cook a lot of things and give to them. They are getting where the fasting is not working for them. So we all feel better when I do something like this on occasion. That pork tenderloin I made a couple of Sundays ago, the majority went to them. So it’s a juggling act really. We are finding ourselves fasting more because of it. Not sure if you saw what we had today.

I got a kick out of your title. Seems like you might be clairvoyant, lol

 

[Michie]

Looks like it’s going to be a bit later as I have things I need to do tomorrow. I’ll do something else even though I have all the ingredients lined up. Probably will be something simple. But when I make the casserole I’ll post pics. Hard to juggle everything.

Its okay michie, my post was a joke and you didn't get it, lol. I can wait, take your time.
Will you be posting for ST. Patties day? I started a thread but only one posted as in your belief, he can't because no meat during lint.
So it sounds like you all would never be able to participate in St patties day?

No we can. That is just his personal discipline during Lent We’ve often gotten permission from our Bishops to celebrate the day.

Sorry about my spelling of lent. Whenever Michie, we can wait. You have your hands full, I am surprised you are still keeping you duties at CF, lol.
Happy day!

You know what they say about a nagging spouse! Lol! Not to mention the parents.

The writer of Proverbs returned to that topic several times: Proverbs 21:9, Proverbs 21:19, Proverbs 25:24, Proverbs 27:15-16

My grandfather has a couple of those verses memorized and occasionally mutters them in a very sage way.

 

[Michie]

Well I made it. Looks different in the pic on the site. Probably the way it’s plated/arranged because you are supposed to layer the shrimp, etc. on the bottom. Too rich for me. I don’t like heavy foods. Everyone else really liked it though.
