I'll get to that. Tomorrow, I hope.
It's been an - interesting? - weekend.
The super-condensed version of what I'll get back to later - Monday, maybe? - is that Our Lady of the Angels and St. Paul's parishes here in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, are getting connected with another Catholic parish.
There's a program or two involved that's doing some good - at both ends - but mainly what we're doing is a "sharing of our Catholic faith, ideas, culture, prayer and friendship," as one of the folks involved put it. (July 19, 2009)
Last night's get-together helped me remember that I'm part of a church that's quite literally universal.
About ugali: it's a sort of corn meal (maize meal, everywhere except the United States) paste. If that sounds like hominy or grits: it should. My guess is that it's one of those staple foods that shows up around the world. Like lefse - that's what Norwegians call a really thin potato flatbread.
It's getting late, I have a full day tomorrow: the rest will have to wait.
