    Even though I'm not Catholic, the church I grew up in definitely seems Catholic around Lent. Give something up, ashes on the forehead, no meat on Fridays. The whole kit and caboodle.

    I thought that no meat on Fridays thing was, well, over?
    And I'd eat a big, fat hairy steak on Friday. He's the catholic!

    I knew this thread was no place for a Jew. Sorry.

    Does HE eat fish?Make a big salad with grilled shrimp, and take the shrimp off yours.

    In our Brady Bunch family, the two Catholics hated Fridays when us four Jews would tear up some meat. They finally went over the wall and ate with us.

    It's one frickin' day a week for a few weeks.

    Just eat the meals you might normally eat without the meat.

    If it's supposed to be about giving something up, why spend any time trying to figure out how to do it without inconvenience.

    Otherwise, why not just skip it and eat a damn hamburger?

    Good idea 21. He loves shrimp, so I can make it for him with pasta or salad and I can keep it off my own.

    Friday is such a tough work schedule for me with a fast turn around that I usually don't end up eating until after midnight, so I may make him shrimp scampi a couple of these fridays.

    What's he making for you?

    Take him to Outback. Order a medium rare strip. Tell him you hear they have great salads.

    Plenty of great meatless lasagna recipes out there.

    Bean and rice burritos are always good.

    PB & J.

    I don't believe that's imitation crap. That's real crap.

    Some simple ones from your grocer's freezer: cheese tortellini, cheese ravioli.

    Your aversion to fish is real hindrance. You miss out on all the Catholic fish frys.

    And I've mentioned this elsewhere, but Hooters serves a mean grouper sandwich. Honestly.

    Simple cheap portable ideas:

    peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a staple (for you). Progresso makes a mean clam chowder (for him).

    And pasta salad always seems to fill me up well.

    Just think, you've only got five weeks to go. Flies by.
