Fish To Fry

It's Lent, and in case you didn't notice all those fillet o' fish billboards popping up everywhere, y'all are supposed to be eating fish. Well, actually the Catholic Church did say something about not having to do that, but old habits die hard and anyway its a good fund raiser for local churches. Not that I really care about supporting their causes (usually we disagree on several fronts, but I won't go into them here) but sometimes you just need a good fish fry. Last year, I got started late and we only ended up visiting one place (St. Stephen's Protomartyr) and while the fish was just okay they did have cheap beer. This year, I hope to get to a few more places and and find some really great fish. Having a vegetarian in the family means that they've also got to have some decent sides as well or at least a yummy dessert. Bonus points for Churches with great names ("slaughter of the holy innocents", use of the word "martyr", etc), old ladies who rule the flow of the line with an iron fist, and decent beer. If anyone has any suggestions bring them forth.

Sadly, the Holy Innocents has become the Journey. Although they might have good beer, being the church that got its start at Schlafly's.

I LOVE the Journey. That nice Steve Perry. And that handsome Neil Schon... or something like that. Don't stop believin'... Hold onto that feelin'.
