Can't have it both ways.

Dear Tikhon, or whoever, You can't have it both ways. You started your introduction by mentioning that you were a) deacon, b) Tikhon, c) of ROCOR, and d) lived in Texas. You admit that at least one is not true. That makes everything else suspect. You can post as an anonymous person, but not under a ...

Time

I used to think that the internet could be used as a tool for good, to enlighten people and lead them to the Faith, to comfort the lonely and to reach out to those near no parish. And, I still believe in that possibility. But I've come to see the dark side. My heart is sore. People whom I know and l...

The Heart of the Matter

I've never been a believer in anonymous posts. When the late Met. Philaret received an anonymous letter, he tore it up and told the person with him, "An anonymous letter is written by a scoundrel -- and believed by a fool." As Orthodox Christians, we are given the name of a saint at baptis...

slowly, steadily

According to friends of Vladyka and to Peter's wife, both are doing the slow and difficult things that it takes to get better. May God grant them patience and courage and comfort, and speed their healing. Don't stop praying!

This week is fast free.
Next week is normal, but you should use up all the meat in the house.
The week after, no meat, but you can have dairy and eggs and fish and caviar on Wednesday and Friday.
The next week, BANG! Lent starts.

Will try to mail you that calendar....

Egg replacement

For an egg replacement, you can buy soy flour at the health food store (or in the baking aisle of fancy grocery stores) and use 2 tsp. soy flour and one Tablespoon water for each egg, in baking. Some people just use applesauce when making cake from a fasting mix (hard to find!) in place of water, eg...

oops, unwieldy

>umm, what do you mean by "unweildy"? < Whoops, my letters were reversed. Unwieldy -- too bulky to handle easily. Nine cups of flour is too much to wrangle with once you add three cups of liquid and the dough starts to rise. If you have an industrial size catering bowl, it can be done, but...
