Also an FYI Knights of Columbus Council 15962 aided by the Legion of Mary Gardner council will be putting on a pancake breakfast Sunday June 8th at St. Bernard’s Parish at St. Camillus Church on Mechanic St. in Fitchburg.
The breakfast will be to raise money to help pay for a defibrillator for the church so it will be available in the event of a heart attack taking place while folks are at mass or a function.
The price is $5 and includes Pancakes and Ham and if you’re eating on site coffee & something to drink. Takeout orders are available which will include pancakes, ham, syrup and spread for those who would rather eat at home.
If you have a large Catholic family we will feed your entire family for a flat $20.
About 300 servings or 75 family servings will cover the full cost even if we don’t raise the lot however much of the cost we can defer is great.
I’ll be cooking that Sunday so I’ll be away all morning, no time for blogging for me that day.
Hope to see you there and while your there if you’re a Catholic man check out the Knights of Columbus and see if you want to be part of our acts of faith and works, and if you’re a Catholic woman check out the Legion of Mary to see if you want to be a part of all they do.
Kelly Ayotte is running for Governor in NH. It’s my opinion that she was one of the few victims on 2016 because the left knew they needed the same kind of “help” in NH that they later arranged in 2020 in counties from Arizona to PA.
My friends at the Grok are underwhelmed but my thought is she was an OK Senator and would certainly be a better governor than any Democrat out there, neverayotte folks not withstanding.
On a personal note Ayotte always gave me time and never ducked a question I asked, again the Grok guys know NH better than me but I’d take her for Governor like a shot over who we have in MA.
There are four days left if you want a sub from mighty subs in Needham MA as they prepare to close their door after 33 years.
My advice if you want to avoid lines and the risk of them running out of bread which happened every day this week. Get their by 7 AM or 8 at the latest. Believe me they’re worth it and you only have four more days.
Here is my video from 11 years ago
Mighty subs in year 22 of 33
Saw a tweet at instapundit that I had to answer, that tweet and my answer explains a lot.
I always thought that it was interesting that the same folks who were attacking and censoring people like me who say election 2020 was rigged and stolen never had the thought of demonstrating that the counts and the ballots were on the up and up, which is what you do if you have run a clean election that someone questions.
I submit and suggest there is a reason for this.
Finally I’m really getting sick of the “Replace Bill Belichick” chorus on talk radio lately.
Now I confess I don’t know if Bill has a plan to get back to the playoffs or the superbowl or just to last long enough to get the all time wins record but I do know two things.
Barring a lot of luck and major injuries all over the league nothing he could do in the next three years will get this team back to the Superbowl
There is not a better coach available that has even an outside chance of achieving that goal in the time frame I just mentioned.
I’m reminded of when a newspaper editor came to Lincoln demanding the removal of General George McClellan Lincoln asked him who he thought should replace him, he received the answer “Anybody” and Lincoln replied that anybody might be OK for him but he needed SOMEBODY.
Until I get a name who can do better I think I’ll stick with Bill.
SHREVEPORT – As President Biden warns of a “real” food shortage, my husband is on social media ranting about the CRP program and will certainly end up in the Facebook gulag again soon. It’s a matter of time.
In exchange for a yearly rental payment, farmers enrolled in the program agree to remove environmentally sensitive land from agricultural production and plant species that will improve environmental health and quality. Contracts for land enrolled in CRP are from 10 to15 years in length. The long-term goal of the program is to re-establish valuable land cover to help improve water quality, prevent soil erosion, and reduce loss of wildlife habitat.
Besides conservation, it has the added benefit of stabilizing prices and keeping commodity prices from bottoming out.
As a native Iowan, he knows farmers who have prime agricultural land but grow nothing and instead collect a big check from the government each year to literally not grow crops. And then there are the occasional ones who collect their CRP check but also raise a crop and therefore double dip.
“…Seven agriculture lobbying organizations fired off a letter to Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack this week asking the USDA for flexibility for farmers to plant crops on more than four million acres of “prime farmland” that’s currently enrolled in the Farm Service Agency’s CRP without penalty.
“It remains to be seen if Ukraine’s farmers will be able to safely plant crops,” the letter says. “Time is of the essence. The planting window in the United States is already open.”
While the CRP program does have certain conservation benefits, perhaps in the face of a worldwide food shortage, we need to take another look at this.
I have been hearing more and more people talking about planning gardens and stockpiling pantries in anticipation of rising food prices and shortages. Is this alarmist? Are we over-reacting? We all have seen shortages of various items since the Great Toilet Paper Shortage during Covid. The latest hard-to-come-by thing around here has been saltine crackers. So odd.
All of this does make one thing seriously about a self-sustaining lifestyle though; growing your own food, getting back to the very basics. We are currently in south Louisiana where the Cajun people know all about being self-reliant. I don’t see a lot of concern around here except in the few transplants that have moved in.
But, the more Biden warns of shortages, the more alarm will rise, and perhaps that is also the point because the Democrats believe only they can save us from ourselves.
Maybe we all need to plant a garden this spring and stockpile some rice and flour.
This came to mind Monday because something that happened after daily mass yesterday.
I’m a sausage on a biscuit kind of guy for breakfast so if I’m out in the morning I tend to drive through McDonald’s two grab a pair with a diet coke for myself. Four buck for a quick breakfast.
My wife is a coffee person who doesn’t function without it. Specifically she’s a Dunkin Donuts coffee person so I’d drive through Dunkin Donuts for her Coffee. If she was with me when I drove through McDonalds she would steadfastly refuse to try the coffee and insist on Dunkin so I’d oblige.
For Lent this year DaWife decided that she was going to go Mass five days a week. I’m a daily mass guy myself so I’ve been happy to have her company. Because we’re out together we’ve been doing sitdown breakfasts after mass twice a week. It’s been very nice but it does cost a few bucks.
Monday after mass DaWife didn’t feel like dropping the money for a sitdown but I wanted something so I drove though McDonalds to get my usual. DaWife noticed they had cinnamon rolls so she ordered one and even though she had resisted it before, she decided to order a $1.50 coffee and headed home.
So when we got home I sat down and had my sausage biscuits and she had her cinnamon roll. She was pleasantly surprised that was warm thought it was pretty good. Not Cozy Corner good, but pretty good.
The real eye opener was the coffee. I was expecting to paraphrase Sgt Festus Mulcahy, a reaction like, well it’s better than no coffee at all.
That’s not what I got.
She said the coffee was good, not Cozy Corner good, not Dunkin Donuts good, but good. Definitely worth the $1.50 that mickey D’s charges for it.
We had a nice breakfast for less than half of what we usually pay.
Now this doesn’t mean that my wife will be switching to McDonalds anytime soon from Dunkin’s nor does it mean that we’ll be ditching our after mass breakfasts, in fact we went to the Cozy Corner today and had a very nice breakfast.
But it DOES mean that McDonald’s regular coffee has passed DaWife’s quality test. And that’s no small feat indeed.
For the record all of them lose their stripes for a while over that.
