*note: This entire post is not only about food, despite potential preliminary thoughts*
Concerning Fruits:
From a young age you've heard "In Confirmation one receives the 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit" and then the speaker will continue to say, "Now it's time to learn the 12 Fruits of the Holy Spirit." With a groan the younger version of you would read through a list of these 12 words, commit them to memory, spew them out in a quiz, and promptly proceed to forget them. Alas,just as it was years ago, such is the case with many a young child nowadays. Thus, in an attempt to remedy this misfortune, the two CCD teachers of the Special Sacraments Class at St. John the Beloved decided to compose an acronym for these twelve fruits. Therefore, having collected the 12 Fruits and writing down the beginning of each word - M, F, C, J, P, P, M, C, L, G, C, B - the younger of the two teachers exclaimed, "MY FAT CHICKEN JUST PLAYED PIANO!" And thus began the greatest acronym of all times.
And so, Ladies and Gentlemen, Modesty, Faith, Charity, Joy, Peace, Patience, Mildness, Chastity, Long Suffering, Goodness, Continency, and Benignity will now be more easily remembered. :)
Concerning Pizza:
After that incredibly ingenious moment in the classroom yesterday, this same teacher, now demoted once again to a simple student, decided to test her skills in the culinary arts. Due to the fact that today is Wednesday, she planned on making pizza. After assembling the pizza maker, making the dough, cutting the summer sausage and grabbing the cheese, she made the pizza, while accidentally folding the pizza dough in half thus creating a garbled circle of a pizza. After the pizza was made, her dear younger brother tasted it and commented afterwards, "Yeah...that was like a lenten pizza...'cause it didn't really taste very good and my piece was doughy."
So much for french fashion, and french politics....without the political part...and the fashion part...and pizza is Italian.
