A Nun’s Life … and Food … Podcast
After every evening podcast for the last couple of weeks, we’ve ended up chatting with folks about food — usually because we’ve either just had dinner or are preparing dinner. So we thought we’d try out a podcast that features food! And since U.S. Thanksgiving is around the corner — and it is the biggest food holiday in these parts — we thought we’d focus on Thanksgiving food.
The podcast is going to be on Tuesday, November 24, at 6:30 p.m. Central Time (your time zone), right after Praying with the Sisters podcast at 6:00. Join us at http://anunslife.org/live .
For the show, we need to hear from YOU about all things Thanksgiving food-related:
- Your favorite recipe (appetizer, entree, side dish, dessert or beverage) and any story or tradition associated with your recipe
- A prayer of thanksgiving or a meal prayer that you use at Thanksgiving time
- Music or video related to Thanksgiving holiday or thanksgiving in general
- Any story about the Thanksgiving holiday
Each person can then talk about their item on the air with us. You’ll need to call into TalkShoe by phone at 724-444-7444 and enter call ID 60385# or by using ShoePhone which is basically calling via the Internet. If you’re not sure how this works, stick around after prayer on Monday evening and we can try it out with you. If you want to use an image or video with your item, all you need is the URL address of the image or video. You can upload either to your Facebook account if you have one or Flickr for images and YouTube for video.
Everyone is welcome, whether you have something for “show-and-tell” or not! Listen in and chat with us in the chat room!
For those of you who would like to prepare something, let us know letting us know what it is (or at least what category from above) so we can schedule everyone in. If it’s a recipe, you can email it to us or post it on Tuesday’s blog post.
Look forward to hearing from you! It will be a food and thanksgiving podcast festival! Any other suggestions or questions, just let us know!
Here’s a preview of what Sister Maxine and I are bringing …
- yummy and easy cornbread recipe
- a story about nearly being arrested due to a turkey
- religious symbolism around Thanksgiving
- a story about a Thanksgiving blowout
- discussion question: what do vegetarians do at Thanksgiving?

My vegetarian (blood) sisters helped me develop a yummy gravy we can all enjoy. We used olive oil instead of fat and whole wheat flour when making the roux. When that is dark enough–but *not* burned!–we add vegetable stock and boil until thickened. We also add seasoning to taste, like black pepper, a little salt, maybe some minced onion, shallot or garlic, sliced mushrooms, etc.
They also bring assorted roasted vegetables and a tofu product that looks like a rolled turkey breast. I also make them “stuffing” using a family recipe, but with crumbled tofu sausage instead of the ground pork and chopped giblets.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Cool! Hope you can join us tomorrow night!
We must be thinking along the same lines. Just recently, we started posting recipes from the sisters on our blog. More will come soon! http://opblauvelt.blogspot.com/search/label/Recipes
Sr. Julie & Sr. Maxine:
I’ve missed the last few podcasts due to family obligations but I’m going to try my best to listen to the podcast on Nov. 24 since it promises to be amazing.
As far as my Thanksgiving recipes/stories, growing up in the Chicago area my family always combined American dishes with Cuban recipes. The turkey was always basted in a nice mojito marinade that my dad prepared ahead of time. (The ‘mojito’ or ‘mojo criollo’ includes garlic, onions and lemon or sour orange juice. ) We’d also have white rice and black beans, yuca (manioc/cassava), some kind of green salad plus a few “American” ingredients, usually cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. This was our typical Thanksgiving meal. Because my birthday usually landed during this time (this year, it’s actually on Thanksgiving day), we might also have a cake.
Hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving Day!
