St. Teresa of Avila

Virgin (III Class)
The seraphic St. Teresa, born at Avila (Spain) at the age of 18 entered the convent of St. Mary of Mount Carmel. As the Reformer of the Carmelites, she re-established the primitive observance of their ancient Rule. On account of her invaluable works on mystical Theology, she may be considered one of the greatest Doctors of the Church. She died in 1582.

We made another attempt this evening to recreate my favorite dish from Dino and Tony's in Rome. It's called Amatriciana and is a spaghetti with spicy tomato sauce and pancetta. Maria made a fine effort, but eating spaghetti takes years to master. Her efforts with jogurt later on were even more spectacular.
