St. Francis Xavier Parish secretary Anna Cordova says their 85th year celebration was about to change. The city told the Catholic Church that its huge potluck doesn't meet city health regulations because it's open to the public.
"I can tell you it made a lot of people very sad. We actually had one parishioner call crying, stating her parents have served this. It's an 80 year tradition here," Cordova said.
Villanucci called up the owner of El Pinto Wednesday, who quickly volunteered to donate posole, bizcochitos, and tortillas for 500 church goers.
St. Francis Xavier was also offered free food by other restaurants and even other churches asked how they could help.
"We're very grateful for the support that we received from the community," Cordova said.
The owner of El Pinto said during tough economic times, everyone needs to lend a hand when possible.
The mayor's spokesperson says they'll be giving a revised version of the potluck ordinance to the City Council for its next meeting.
do they need any coffee filters?
They changed their minds. Posole is now okay.
In early autumn in New Mexico, a popular variation on posole is made, called chichos. Instead of hominy it uses fresh corn that has been dried and roasted. This is what I am more accustomed to.
Sometimes I wonder how we've all survived to adulthood, what with potluck dinners and farmer's markets, bake sales and church suppers (she said, sarcastically). Sheesh!
So much for the separation of church and state.

you are making no fucking sense whatsoever, how unusual.
I'm making perfect sense. The fact you cannot understand what I'm saying is what is truly mind boggling.

what's mind boggling is that you claim to think.
