Regular fasting is part of my tradition. One of the main elements of the religious fast is not so much the religious decree as the practice of fasting as a community. I fast in solidarity with my fellow parishioners, for example, or with the whole Church. It is also done as a preparation for something -- the feast of Pascha (or Easter) and Christmas, as well as other feast days. Fasting is done as a cyclical practice, both in the yearly cycle and in the weekly cycle, and is never separated from extra prayer or from almsgiving, however that is understood. It also is followed by a feast in which everyone celebrates and "feasts" together, even those who fell short of the fast. No one is to be left out.

wonderful article Chef!!

Thanks Bev, for sharing your expertise. You are also a very good writer, and able to hold peoples interest this way. Much success to you...

Very helpful...I've been wondering about longer titles, like the encouragement here that, done within reason, they provide more keyword possibilities. Looks like a great book, and a concept I should explore more.

And I totally agree, Nightbear!! Thank you for sharing!!

I agree with lessons of discipline, but they must be tempered with love. I think children learn so much more effectively if they feel loved.

Here in the Netherlands (where I live) it is the other way round - vintage (and retro) for clothes, second-hand for the rest (furniture, books etc)

uh huh! and its an easier place to save things without a bundle of papers everywhere
though I admit the place I still have bundles of paper and cannot do without is my recipe book!

People used to do it all the time, with that heavy textured wallpaper even. Takes two people and a couple of brooms to hold the paper up against the ceiling. I bet the paste gets everywhere though...

I had a robin who decided to build a nest at the top of one of my drainpipes this year. I had my own bird's eye view of all the goings on. I've always been amazed by the huge size of robins over here LOL!

Hi! I like the idea of a folder "learn something new", I have a similar folder "posts to come back"... as I also learn a lot from Wizzley posts, Squidoo lenses, and my favorite Bloggers posts.
Learning never stops... especially on Internet which is such a dynamic environment.

I do not sell the antiques but love to go to them!! and the antique malls are nice because they are in indoors...but I love the swap meets as well!! my fav to look for is galssware and bowls...my favourites glasses are americana foster..

Thanks for a great post
