(Saint Athanasius) was once concealed in a still more extraordinary asylum, the house of a virgin, only twenty years of age, and who was celebrated in the whole city for her exquisite beauty. At the hour of midnight, as she related the story many years afterwards, she was surprised by the appearance of the archbishop in a loose undress, who, advancing with hasty steps, conjured her to afford him the protection which he had been directed by a celestial vision to seek under her hospitable roof. The pious maid accepted and preserved the sacred pledge which was intrusted to her prudence and courage. Without imparting the secret to any one, she instantly conducted Athanasius into her most secret chamber, and watched over his safety with the tenderness of a friend and the assiduity of a servant. As long as the danger continued, she regularly supplied him with books and provisions, washed his feet, managed his correspondence, and dexterously concealed from the eye of suspicion this familiar and solitary intercourse between a saint whose character required the most unblemished chastity, and a female whose charms might excite the most dangerous emotions.

Unfortunately the Mexicans aren’t as good at correctly processing and storing them.

Pinna rugosa
Most likely a dish we call ceviche. Using citrus is an actual type of cooking method.
Scallops quickly fried in butter with garlic and red pepper (not kosher, He will forgive, and the Irish half says it's Friday)
Toasted french bread to sop up the juice
Mixed greens (I love arugula and spinach) with Italian dressing
An IPA and then a cider, and maybe a glass of wine in between (ok, yes, I had that glass of wine)
Truffle chocolate bar squares
Small edible
I'm done, I'm happy. Everything else from here on is just a bonus.
Going to watch a movie and entertain ourselves later. First I'm going to enjoy about 350 AD to 400 AD in Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Who knew that Arianism used to be dominant?
