Second Day of Anticipation for Ducebruary

I hope that the preparations are going well for your Ducebruary celebrations. Today, of course, is the day to par-cook the cardoni and lamb tongues. I will also be cooking some lamb kidneys, but just as a little fun addition to the traditional festivities.

Speaking of lamb...

We interrupt this stirring Patriotic Message of the Preparations for the Celebration of the Birth of Dear Leader for an important commercial message.

Toot-toot-toot-toot!

And now, a word from our sponsah!

Yes, dear friends you know that the Liberal Arts have seen better days in our society as a whole as well as in our Catholic institutes of higher learning.

You also know how ideas start in the Bay Area and percolate down to the rest of the world. This includes all manner of ideas, the good, the bad, and the downright ugly.

So, one of the best ways of helping bring health and vigor to the liberal arts is to support the Saint Anthony of Padua Institute. And what better way to support the institute than by eating, drinking, and listening to the words of G.K. Chesterton as delivered by the talented John Chuck Chalberg?

Yes, for only $70 a person you can enjoy my own Northern Californian take on British cuisine, chased down by rich red wine, althewhile your ears are being bathed in the wit and wisdom of this great Catholic writer.

Next Week, February 9 (or Ducebruary 2) at St. Margaret Mary's Church in Oakland. Come one, come all!
