Of Fish and Blogs

Two short points to bring into the first full week of Lent:

Sr. Mary Martha, one of C's favorite reads, gives a nice explanation of how McDonald's came to have the "Filet 'o Fish" sandwich, and what horrors we might have faced in an alternative product aimed at the Lenten Catholic market.

Also, I would like to officially mark the second year of the minor premise. C made her first post at the beginning of February 2006 (a book review), and the blog has gone great guns ever since. And, while the blog was actually opened in November of 2005, the substance of the premise did not get going until C put cursor to screen.


Aside from C to Foxfier/Sailorette, whose comment on the above post was just noted:
Actually, Barnes and Noble got the money. But I figure I'll get my dollar's worth in the long run by being able to cite text to back up my assertions that it's not a very good book, and maybe by lending it to a few folks who might otherwise go off and buy their own copy. With caveats, of course.
