It was rather convenient that, this year, Michaelmas coincided with a nice Sunday dinner! We had angel chicken, which is chicken in a creamy Italian white wine sauce served over angel hair pasta:
And a heavenly strawberry roll for dessert, also know as angel food cake jelly-rolled and filled with vanilla-strawberry cream (notice the theme?):
I wish I could have come up with an angelic side dish, too, but I’m just not that creative. But having the main dish and dessert share the theme wasn’t too bad!
I’ve always been curious what Michaelmas was, but the food looks delicious!
It’s the feast day for St. Michael and all angels…the food really doesn’t have anything to do with it, other than I picked things with “angel” in the name! This should explain the observance all little further.
Thanks for sharing. It’s fascinating. I’d heard of it before, but never knew much about it. I love hearing about different spiritual observances.
