Status Updates From The Supper of the Lamb: A C...

Hoping to finish this on my eleven hour flight. We’ll see how I do!

Also, I don’t think I’ll ever find a book like this one again. This is a treasure to be revisited, to be reminded that such a balance between what is seen as secular and sacred can actually exist!

From meat, to metaphysics, to knives, Capon somehow keeps my attention no matter the subject! He’s the only author I can think of that I’d be truly curious to read his grocery list—his wit and passion for cooking and food would likely shine through even in something so simple!

Enthralling. I’m loving every second of this odd and wonderful cookbook.

I will never look at an onion the same way again.

"God LIKES onions, therefore they are. The fit, colors, smell, tensions, tastes, textures, lines, shapes are a response, not to some forgotten decree that there may as well be onions as turnips, but to His present delight - His intimate and immediate joy in all you've seen, and in the thousand other wonders you don't even suspect."

He mentions E. Powers Biggs in an illustration about gravy - I’d never heard that name and was surprised when I looked it up. Listen to some videos. You will enjoy.

This should end any further argument. Robert capon says “ wash your good knives by hand”

This book is already delightful.

"There, then, is the role of the amateur: to look the world back to grace."

"I like food. As a child, I disliked fish, eggs, and oatmeal, but when I became a man, I put away childish things."

"Anything is better than water in a stew."

“ the calorie approach is the work of the devil”

food, these days is often identified as the enemy. Butter, salt, eggs are all out to get you. Yet at our best, we know better. Butter is butter: it glorifies everything it touches. Salt is the sovereign perfector of all flavors. Eggs are one of the wonders of the world. put them together, you get not sudden death, but hollandaise. In its own way, not a bit less a marvel than the Gothic arch, or a Bach fugue.

I want this to never end
