Holy Week: Tuesday
Linguine, it's flat but too wide, I knew it wasn't linguine, no, the package says fettuccine. For breakfast, leftovers from yesterday's dinner, with choice of sauce, meat with tomato sauce, or Alfredo with mushrooms, so I mix them and add tabasco, mix then grate TraderJoe's Unexpected Cheddar Cheese on top.
Fettuccine is fine and apparently all pastas are the same recipe just forced through different noodle cutters. All good, though my preferences may be angel hair, spaghetti, linguine over fettuccine because the thinner pasta seems easier to twirl on my fork even if the thicker sauce seems to cling better to the wider and flat noodles. Also I read that extruding pasta dough through a brass rather than stainless cutter gives a rougher pasta that holds the sauce better. We tried it out to sample the difference and found it so, but the cost difference was about $7 versus 60¢ a package. I love spaghetti and other pastas and various sauces (Jules, the Italian officer in the wardroom of my first ship, said they don't call it sauce, they call it gravy), but it's seldom on what I allow myself to eat.
Artifacts reported saved from yesterday's fire at Notre Dame include the gold Crown of Thorns. The crown of thorns is mentioned in Mark, Matthew and John; but not in Luke, the only evangelist who includes Herod in the passion narrative
Anyway, this is Tuesday in Holy Week, scroll down to read the gospel for today.
John 12:20-36
Among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus." Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honor.
"Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say-- `Father, save me from this hour'? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again." The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him." Jesus answered, "This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die. The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the law that the Messiah remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?" Jesus said to them, "The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going. While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light."
After Jesus had said this, he departed and hid from them.
