Fish fry is ubiquitous in Wisconsin year round. Lent takes it to another whole level. Mostly, the Friday church suppers. But there's also the Culver's walleye sandwich.

Finally! The new season of Top Chef! Last year it was Wisconsin where I've lived for the last sixteen years. This year the Carolinas, where I lived for the ten years before that.

There's an annual edition of the Episcopal Musician's handbook tied to the lectionary that includes suggestions for every Sunday and also Marion Hatchett published a book with suggestions for the BCP lectionary from the Hymnal 1982. That one also includes suggested hymns for the Daily Office.
