I’m thinking about doing a full meat-free and poultry-free Lent this year. I used to do it every year. I think the last time I did it for the full 40 days was in 2007.
Anyone else doing Lent?
I’ll probably make Calamari with rice for Ash Wednesday.

Yep.
A lot of people, including some chefs, don’t get the symbolism behind some dishes.
