• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm not a fan of roasted greyhound...

Same reaction (not a sheep or goat) when I saw this. The back leg and shank doesn't look big enough and the hip/belly are too small. Greyhound would be about right. I hope not.

@cradleGO It definitely tasted like lamb. It was 16kg which is pretty big, so probably sheep rather than lamb. Would have preferred something in the 10-12kg range

Actually, it never occurred to me that the reason they sell the whole lamb without the head, might be so you can't identify the animal you've been supplied with :oops:. Still, it was very tasty whatever it was. Lots of salt, pepper, oregano and lemon, and lots more olive oil.

We managed to get a reasonable number of extended family together which we haven't been able to do the last few years. Hopefully we can make it a regular get together. The spit roast was a big hit, whatever it was we were eating :sunglasses:

I was in the capital of Albania last week at a restaurant where the meat was served... naturally. A friend actually got a half of a lamb’s skull with meat on it. My (younger) daughter was disgusted, we just shrugged it off.

and apparently, that hockey player’s merchandise sold out.

gives me a sliver of hope.
If I lived in the States, I definitely would have bought a jersey with his number on it.

We had 28 people at the mission this morning! Approximately 1/3 were small children, but we had our first "never been to an Orthodox service before" visitor and it's been a nice breath of fresh air. To paraphrase the great Humphrey Bogart, "of all the churches in all the Beltway, they came to mine!"
