I have a blog in my Feedly reader that gives food ideas for the various feast and saint days. They are really nice, but I have to keep things simple or they won't happen ;-) Our book Saints at the Dinner Table was passed on to a foody priest, who is surely using it more often than we did!
The plan for today is to set up the prayer table for November with photos of family members and friends who have gone before us. Perhaps as a way to remind us to pray for them, I will utilize some of their favorite recipes throughout this month. I know when I'm gone, I am going to appreciate everyone's prayers! Another thought is to take put out a different item throughout the month - a pair of socks my Oma knitted, my Dad's handmade cowboy boots, my husbands baptismal cap - to remind us of his mom who shopped for it and our babes born into Heaven - you get the idea.
The feast day of Charles Borromeo is tomorrow - his book is still in the basket so I will pull it for a read-a-loud. His story is fascinating, as is the time period in which he lived.
To be continued.....
