An Orthodox Believer's Best Friends for Lent

I believe it was Presbyterian Frederica Matthews-Greene who said that a Chinese restaurant was an Orthodox believer's best friend! I have also found Indian restaurants to be very Lenten friendly!

Autocorrect? I’m guessing it should be Presbytera instead of Presbyterian?

Looks delicious!

Thai food is wonderful as well.

Tonight’s dinner for me wasn’t very glamorous. Avocado toast with lots of spinach………

looks awesome

I find Thai food to be very Lenten friendly. The only problem is most of those foods also contain oil, and often the worst seed oils in terms of human consumption. Canola oil (otherwise known as genetically modified Rape seed oil) is being used in almost everything, and it's getting to the point where you have to process all of your food at home to ensure your food is free of such oils.
