Be Poets of the Logos!

Sarx (σαρξ) is the Greek word for "flesh". This is the blog of a Southern Man (sojourning in Buffalo, NY) attempting to follow God in the way of Jesus.

I am a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church in America (ROCIA). We are growing a Mission community here in Buffalo.

I who have written this story, or rather this fable, give no credence to the various incidents related in it. For some things in it are the deceptions of demons, other poetic figments; some are probable, others improbable; while still others are intended for the delectation of foolish men.

Parties. Parties! PARTIES!

HREE PARTIES Of note: with invites to two… and a request for help on the third (sorry, can’t do a general invite):
SUPERCRAWL
Hamilton’s monthly Art Crawl is becoming a SUPERCRAWL this month! This week, in fact. Supercrawl is Friday 9th October. Galleries, bands (including the Hidden Cameras!!!!) bars, food, charity. It’s all [...]

Hummus Cake…

HIS Chocolate cake has a surprise ingredient and, with a little work, I think it could be vegan-ised (and therefore made Fast-Friendly for Lent.

RESH California figs were on sale so this was breakfast this morning. It’ll feed six people or two bears…
Dice a dozen fresh figs and place them in a bowl. For the sauce you’ll need a cup of some very rich yoghurt such as Serbian or Greek style. We get a lovely raw, whole milk [...]

Sweet & Sour Seitan

This will be dinner tonight. I’ll be increasing it to serve 14. This should serve a family of two…

1 lb Seitan cut into bite-sized bits

1 can Contadina or LaChoy Sweet and Sour Sauce. Or, to save money, make your own.

1 small onion cut in a large dice

1 green pepper cut in a [...]

A Depression Era Feast!

I’m overjoyed to see there is a DVD coming out! This woman – and her generation – are a treasure!

Thanks, Elise!

HIS YEAR’S Yorkshire Pudding was produced using a recipe posted by Elise over at Simply Recipes.
While Yorkshire Pudding is, really, just another way to get starch and fat into your system this holiday season, it is a very delicious way, indeed.

Bread!

ONIGHT’S Bread was a straight up spelt sourdough loaf baked in a clay pot.

More Depression?

OST OF Elise’s Recipes for Cooking on a budget are things I grew up with – especially the Hamburger and Macaroni! Be sure and check out her budget shopping tips.
Here’s a few tips of my own:
Reduce, reuse, recycle.
Which is, of course, the modern take off on this one:
Use it up, wear it out. Make [...]
