Invertebrates

I often forget that during the fast, like St. John the Baptist and Forerunner, we can eat invertebrates. In fact, because of my forgetfulness, I hadn't enjoyed them at all this Lent. But Athanasia remembered. Tonight she made a such a wonderful meal: Steamed asparagus with a little salt, sliced avocado, boiled shrimp. It was the best thing I've tasted all Lent.
