TV nuns show how to cook by the good book - Giles Tremlett (The Guardian)
Cloistered nuns, Sister Liliana and Sister Beatriz of the Concepcionistas Franciscanas in Segovia have their own show on Spanish cable TV called Bocaditos de cielo (little mouthfuls of heaven). They specialize in recipes (mostly sweets) that have been handed down over the generations in the convent. Sounds fabulous and if anyone knows how to watch this online - let me know! [By the way, the guy who wrote the article, Giles Tremlett, is a great writer. I highly recommend his book called Ghosts of Spain: Travels through a country's hidden past.]

Rosh Hashana Recipes - The New York Times online
The Jewish New Year celebrations start 29 Sept! Celebrate with some maykholim (delicious) recipes courtesy of the NY Times. These go beyond kugel to Moroccan beet salad and other exotic, seasonal fare.
UPDATE 11.30pm: We ate the Moroccan beet salad tonight as per the NY Times recipe and it's really good. That is, if you like beets.

i can't tell you how happy it makes me that you now have a label for "nuns." i just figured out a way to write about medieval nuns for my information in society class and i'm so pumped.
well you never know when you're going to need to talk about nuns!
