Wow! I have never been that strict and I've been BC for decades.
Does everyone here skip the fish during Lent?
Sam CIX! Hiho Sam, I'm Russian Catholic... so I follow Orthodox practice, which is to try and follow what the Typicon prescribes as much as possible. I wasn't aware the Ruthenian metropolia permitted fish in Lent. Just my two kopecks! in Domino, Edward

1 large or 2 medium onions
1 green pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 red pepper
2 6 oz. cans of tomato paste
Garlic powder or roasted garlic cloves—to taste
Salt and pepper to taste Bob, It sounds great, except for the chickpeas (which have no valid use in this life, except to make hummous ) . Think I'll add niblet corn, mushrooms, a touch of horseradish, and replace the stewed tomatoes with diced. But, hey, what have you got against purple and orange peppers :p ? Many years, Neil

Neil:
If you're like me, you've never seen a recipe that you haven't modified as you go along. I just didn't have any of the other colors of peppers when I first tried this one. On the other hand, my son made this up with all kinds of hot peppers and I had to stay away from open flames for a couple hours after a bowl of his. I guess my point was that Lenten fare doesn't have to be bland or uninteresting. An interesting meal that conforms to all the fasting rules can help us to "wash our face and groom our hair" so that no one will know we're fasting.
As for the chickpeas, I guess that recipe was an attempt to hide something that no one would eat otherwise!?! Didn't you ever have someone try to run something by you like that? (By the way, I do like humus and that might have been a better use for that can of chickpeas.)
I'll take your suggestions, though, and pencil them into my copy of this recipe and give them a try. Thanks.
BOB

I'm trying this one out though, even if I have to do it during hours when I'm usually either sleeping or posting . As to the various colors of peppers, my wife persists in pointing out that there are no taste distinctions, only cost differences among them. I, on the other hand, enjoy the visual diversity that they lend to a dish. Many years, Neil

Nicky's Baba,
Thank you for the clarification. I didn't know that there is Fasting and then there is FASTING.
And I never heard the part about fasting from anything with 'eyes'. !!! It makes me take a whole new look at my food! Where did that particular idea originate?
As for medical conditions such as diabetes- I would think you should do what you can without endangering your health. If the purpose of fasting is to achieve a metanoia (as much as we humans can in 40 days), I would think in todays society there are many ways to fast, other than giving up essential protein your body requires.
Dave,
Forget the fish. LOL
Sam

Alex, ...and I'm tall and blonde. Right? Folks, As always, the three legs of any fast are prayer, bodily fasting and works of mercy. If you are so constructed that dietary modification makes you malfunction, you lean on the other two legs! Even the most ascetical of the Fathers were prone to say things that boiled down to "don't be stupid." Cheers, Sharon

Dear Sharon, Weren't you all excited when you met me? Didn't I inspire lust in you? I only wear those glasses to read, you know! When I take them off . . . watch out!! (I think you're secretly sorry we're both married and so must have a "hands off" approach to one another. I'm sorry you can't have me! ) But I promise not to post to you here during Lent so as not to be an occasion of sin for you . . . Alex

Dear Tammy, In the last year I taught religion, my students actually took a vote on whether I look better with or without glasses. They said that glasses were part of my "mystique" . Weren't they wonderful kids? Alex

Well Alex you can add a picture to your profile. But, in your case maybe it sould be two!  One with and one without your glasses. Then we can take a poll and decide ourselves.

I vote Alex puts a picture in his profile! If he's got a current one, that is...
I haven't posted one in my profile because the only good one I've got is from 15 years ago! LOL! (I'm not very photogenic, so I tend to shy away from cameras - unless I'm on the back end of one!)
