LaPetiteSoeur Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1313547289' post='2289590'] I thought Carmelites were vegetarians?!? You're going to get into trouble for serving prosciutto! [/quote] My priest friend is a vegetarian and got a book all on vegetarian saints when his congregation thought he was being weird. Whenever it's a vegetarian's feast day, he makes sure to mention it in his homily.
OnlySunshine Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 [quote name='she_who_is_not' timestamp='1313547183' post='2289586'] I'd do shrimp and grits with a big green salad and french bread. Desert would be pot de cremes and chicory coffee. [/quote] Just out of curiosity, what does chicory coffee taste like? I heard about that on a movie based in New Orleans and I've always wondered what it would be like. I usually stick to my Dunkin' Donuts Original Blend.

I heard about that on a movie based in New Orleans and I've always wondered what it would be like. I usually stick to my Dunkin' Donuts Original Blend. [/quote] It's delicious. Though I'm not sure how to describe it. It's different, but in a good way. I do know that my grandmothers are such devotees that they buy chicory coffee and drip it the old fashioned way. cafe au lait, though, is my favorite New Orleans coffee.
Clare~Therese Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Or if I could choose another four Saints (round [i]2[/i]!) I think I'd choose... 1) Blessed Maria Consolata -- I found out about her via Phatmass, love her story. 2) St. Francis of Assisi -- One of the first Saints I ever knew about. And besides, who [i]doesn't[/i] like him? 3) St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross/Edith Stein -- Because her story is really interesting too. 4) St. Thomas the Apostle -- there's some things I need to talk to him about. As for the menu? I have no idea. But the dessert would definitely involve a lot of chocolate and ice cream. Mwahahaha!
MissScripture Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 [quote name='JoyfulLife' timestamp='1313540392' post='2289481'] * Pope John Paul II (he will be a Saint, I'm sure) * Saint Teresa of Avila * Saint Paul (I've become quite inspired by him in my Bible readings) * Saint Therese, or Saint Bernadette, or Saint Mary Alocoque, or....? [/quote] John Paul II IS Blessed, already. My four: St. Philomena, because she took/takes care of me. Blessed John Paul II, because I would LOVE to meet him in person. He was my Papa. St. Gianna Molla, because I want to be a mother like her (although, I could do without the dying part...at least for a long, long, long time.) St. Anthony, because without him, I would be lost.

It's a deeper flavor. I don't drink it everyday, but I do serve it after dinner at dinner parties quite frequently. It pairs well with a rich dessert and it always draws the Louisianians into the kitchen. You can buy the Cafe du Monde brand in most grocery stores. At least in the south. Try it!

Clare~Therese Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 [quote]Cafe du Monde[/quote] I've been there! The beignets were amazing. There was a guy there playing a tuba. And there was a bunch of people from France on vacation or something. I'm saying stuff that is...
Lilllabettt Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 St. Philip Neri - St. Anthony - St. Therese - St. Josephine Bakhita - no sad or serious dinner conversation. bad for digestion.
Deus te Amat Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 St. Catherine of Siena St. Dominic St. Edith Stein Bl. Mother Teresa
das8949 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 St. Peter - my favorite saint - St. Monica - my Catholic Church until I was 18 and she was a wonderful mother St. Augustine - her son who became a wonderful son St. Thomas because he had doubts and asked Jesus to "show him" very humble Mother Theresa my back up in case the others will be dining with you guys that evening.
GraceUk Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 At first I couldn't think of four and now I have too many. Saint Therese of Lisieux (my favourite saint) Ven Margaret Sinclair (Because she is from Scotland like me and had a hard life I think) Saint Gianna Mollo (because she was an amazing mother) Saint Maria Goretti. (she is one of my very favourite saints)
MissScripture Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Ooh, wait, can it be angels? Cuz then I'd chose St. Michael, too!
ameliabedelia Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Bl. John Paul II St. Dominic St. Mary Magdalene aaannnnddd..... Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati !!
Lisa Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Bl. John Paul II (good thing he's Polish, they like food and it sounds like he'll be eating at many places) Bl. Jordan of Saxony (I hear he's quite funny) St. Peter (first Pope, 'nuf said) St. Therese (she wouldn't complain if I burnt the food because I got distracted by the others) Edited because there are so many good choices! Edited August 17, 2011 by Lisa
FutureSister2009 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 St. Therese, St. Monica, St. Cecilia, St. Anthony. I don't think 4 is enough!

MissyP89 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 1) St. Maria Goretti is my patron. She and I would get along so well -- both fun-loving, family oriented people. 2) St. Monica ... I have so, so much to learn from her. And she would understand me intimately. 3) St. Peter knew Jesus in the flesh. He could answer all my doubts, and talk about the early Church. 4) St. Joseph. The ideal father and husband. I have a deep affection for him.
