I get it. I'm Lebanese and have been eating kibbeh nayeh my whole life. My grandmother would make it for Sunday dinner after church. This is how it would look when she brought it out, and there was rarely any left.

You still Orthodox, then? I'm a catechumen at an Antiochian Orthodox.

As far as I have heard, the Orthodox Church is limited to following only the rules bequeathed by the Apostles and the Ecumenical Councils. Otherwise, local churches are free, both in terms of household rules and liturgy. We do not use raw meat in any form, perhaps because pork is widely used in cooking, and it cannot be consumed without heat treatment. On the hunt, of course, raw fillet of roe deer and moose goes very well, despite the religious fast (it is until January 6 inclusive), under the foreign name "carpaccio". And from January 7th, baked goose, roast pig, etc.

The Greek and Lebanese foods are very close, but I was raised born-again Christian in an overwhelmingly Catholic region of Upstate NY. This is why my grandmother would press a cross into the kibbeh for Sunday dinner. The love of the food (both Greek and Lebanese) still remains, but not so much the for religion.

All the best with your upcoming baptism.

Already baptised in the name of the Trinity. I'll be confirmed by Chrismation.

I was reared Presbyterian in VERY Catholic south Louisiana, about an equal mix of Cajun French and Italians where I grew up just outside Baton Rouge. Surnames like Pizzuto, Panepinto, Guillermo, and Dimmattia were as common as surnames like Landry, Boudreaux, Comeaux, and LeBlanc.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
