…and cooking for all their pals when they show up at dinnertime.

About 6 years ago I used to work near the Hebert Candy factory. They had premium chocolate and make your own sundaes.
Once in a while we would take the kids there, everybody had a good time and the stuff was absolutely wonderful.
Hebert’s also made most of the bars that the kids would sell at fundraisers. They were pretty good and unfortunately helped me maintain the waistline I have today.
A few years ago they sold off the fund raising part of the business, but kept control of the main Chocolate operation.
Saturday the wife and the youngest had a Mom and son day. There were gone for hours and one of the stops included the Candy Mansion. When they came home late in the evening the were bearing candy corn for him (his favorite) and some Genuine Hebert Chocolate for me.
I hadn’t had it in a while and as sucker for any type of Chocolate I happily took one.
It was simply AWFUL!. It was inferior to the “store brand” chocolate offered in the local supermarket and not in the same planet let alone the same league as a Cadbury bar. If they were selling stuff like this a decade ago I would be twenty pounds lighter.
I may be proudly banned from Little green footballs but let me say this to Charles: If Hebert’s chocolate every declares themselves “proudly banned from lgf”, you should be the proud one.
The Kielbasa gets em in; The Holy Spirit can do the rest

Well I found out the best way to get parishioners to the end of the month after mass breakfasts at St. Anthony di Padua.
The secret is to start frying the kielbasa during the mass. The scent goes up the stairs to the main church “a fragrant aroma” (Philippians 4:18b). And when that “sweet smelling” (Numbers 15:7b) odor hits the parishioners who haven’t yet had breakfast, when mass ends they pour down the stairs to the church hall where…
“They all ate and were satisfied.” (Mark 6:42)
One funny story, a fine woman who I’ve known since grammar school was at mass as always with her 4 kids. Her husband never comes to church. The kids suggested that since there are free pancakes and Kielbasa maybe they can get him to go at least once a month.
It’s a good plan. Maybe it will work on the Christmas and Easter crowd. The Kielbasa can get them in the doors and and The Holy Spirit can do the rest.
Ironically today’s Gospel was Mark chapter 7.
A chance to meet an obscure blogger in person!

All you have to do is go to the 8 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. Mass at St. Anthony di Padua Church in Fitchburg Massachusetts this morning and after mass go to the church hall!
This obscure blogger will be in the kitchen providing free pancakes and kielbasa to all who attend.
Come and get a free meal at my expense!
Due to the expected crowding blogging will be light this morning.
