Today, we are travelling through the US, and found a seafood buffet. The advertisement on the window claimed "dozens of seafood dishes," so we decided to try it. Along with our typical Asian buffet vegetables (steamed broccoli, bok choi, green beans, bean sprouts, mushrooms) we found a variety of choices that were appropriate for fasting; these included crayfish (a.k.a. crawfish, crawdads, langoustines), baby clams, squid rings and shrimp. So, as we sat for a lunch with our "parea" (Greek word for group of friends), we put together a plate that we could share. Now we are sharing with you. We think that some seafood buffets, if available, are a good option for some while travelling during Great Lent.
“If we detect any trace of hatred in our hearts against any man whatsoever for committing any fault, we are utterly estranged from love for God, since love for God absolutely precludes us from hating any man.”
St. Maximus the Confessor
