Lent will never be the same.
We’re from the government and we’re here to help you.
The “Department of Food” is an inevitability if the political class is to achieve total dominance over the population.
I’ve been to more than my share of put luck dinners. Many times I didn’t serve myself from a particular dish simply because I had already visited the home of whoever prepared the dish.
Just imagine what can be accomplished with 250,000 more bureaucrats! I can’t wait for Obama’s stimulus plan to kick in, can you? /s/
The inmates are now running the asylum

You beat me to it! Damn Gummn’t a$$holes.
GMTA! (Great minds...)
“Many times I didn’t serve myself from a particular dish simply because I had already visited the home of whoever prepared the dish.”
LOL!!! There was a family at my church in Dallas who insisted on bringing food from their VERY UNSANITARY kitchen. One year at a Christmas Party they brought a bag of salad... a ROACH crawled out... the hostest saw it and dropped the whole mess on the floor - so it HAD to be trashed! UGH!!! We DID know where the good food came from!
Lent will never be the same.
That's because Lent is a Christian celebration and not one for "Zer0" or his pals and family.

I would not buy a pie or any home prepared food from somebody I didn’t know. For all I know their “children”, meaning pets, have free run of the kitchen. I’ve seen it. No thank you.
On the other hand it should be up to the consumer, not some nanny government agency.

In my state, Michigan, wild game dinners are common fundraisers at sportsman's clubs.
Fish and game cooked by members, served to the public.
Money collected is considered donations because wild game can't be bought or sold.
> Marlene Kislock, head of the kitchen, said the cooked pirogi were left out to cool and forgotten. They were later thrown out, she said.
Crikey! What a shameful waste! In my household there’s nothing much better than a plate of cold leftover pirogi for a midnite snack. Even if they were a day old...
Jolly bureaucrats! Why couldn’t the women just have a waiver form signed by the buyers of the pies, then everyone ought to be happy, no?

I understand the sentiment, but... would you buy a pie or food from say a diner that you’d never visited before?
Of course you would. How is that different?
Well..since the pies couldn’t be served because of the overzealous food inspector, perhaps the guests could express their opinions by hitting the inspector with about 25 pies!
There’s a certain justice in that.
The small distinction is that diners are inspected and I doubt that many of them have pets running loose in the kitchen.
I miss the pirogis I used to buy in Brooklyn...could you possibly give me your pirogi recipe?
Thanks,
Ed
