By the way the church is actually granting dispensation on Friday so that you can eat meat. You are suppose to do something charitable in its place. |
Oh wow! Thanks for that info! My mom always said they just didn't like corned beef, I'll bet she didn't even realize that's why her mom made it with ham. Tastes much better too!
