Frydays

I might have one of them fish sandwiches from that roast beef place today. Arby's makes a great fish sandwich during Lent, which shows that Catholics still have some pull in our consumerist economy.

It really is good fish, deep fried and crispy. And big: those things are huge. Yep, I think I'll have one today.

I only wish I hadn't thought of it at 4:30 in the morning.

Frying those fish

Do you know what time of year it is? Yes, of course it's Lent. And that means fish frys!

I haven't been to a church fish fry where I haven't liked the fish. To be sure, deep fried fish probably isn't particularly good for us. But it's a only a few weeks of the year.

First stop: St. Francis of Assisi in Detroit. I am on my way!
