Made a big batch of potato casserole this morning for the parish feast on Sunday. Added extra onions and a little dill the way my mother always did. Hoping it turns out as good as hers used to for the after-service lunch.

The church is quiet today. The pews are empty and the sanctuary quiet, as if waiting.

Saint Teresa's Center. You can see the gate, sign and greenery around. Nice quiet place.

The red brick church sits quietly with its dome and cross against a calm sky. Looks peaceful this time of year.

Yesterday I made fast chickpeas in the oven with onion, garlic and a little puree. I let them cook well until soft and colored, they turned out very tasty with a little lemon on top. The kids ate them without complaint, I will definitely make them again.
