This year's Easter Fair at Blackfriars Oxford takes place on Sunday 2 May, from 10.30am. Do come and join us, and sample some of the delicious Golden Honey Fudge made by Br Ursus OP, with the help of his able sous chef, Br Robert Verrill OP!
"The Lord has brought you into a land flowing with milk and honey, alleluia, alleluia: that the law of the Lord may be ever in your mouth, alleluia, alleluia!" - the Introit for Easter Monday.
"More to be desired are your words, O Lord, than gold, even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb" - Psalm 119:10.
"My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off" - Proverbs 24:13f.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't Br Robert wearing a chef's hat - Health and Safety; food hygiene regulations?
Fudge looks really delicious, too.
Good luck with the fair and I'm glad to see that Br. Ursus is a south paw just like me!

I hope you've locked the supplies away- bears are very devious when it comes to scavenging, and that Br Ursus looked decidedly shifty to me.
ReplyDeleteYou must have had such fun setting this one up! GRReat fun!
ReplyDeleteLovely brother that is. Would be nice to be in Oxford.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous;
ReplyDeleteyou malign poor fr Ursus : he is a bear of great integrity,and I know from personal experience that he can be trusted never to take anything which doesn't belong to him . . .
Love these pictures of Brother Ursus. Who could not be cheered by them? More power to your elbow, and honey to your paw. As a Carmelite myself, I appreciate the profound wisdom of bears, and am glad the Dominicans share that charism.
ReplyDeleteDearest Godzdogs OPs
ReplyDeleteYou know this wonderful, thought provoking and endearing Ursine OP ought to have his own link, page and/or website!!

I ate a whole bag of Br. Ursus' fudge and it was divine. Nothing like a bear to know the subtle touches in cooking with honey.
