This guy is a friend of mine. I went to his wedding; I've slept at his house; I've petted his dogs, and admired him from afar. Milton is a seminary trained minister, and one of the smartest and most passionate I know. And he doesn't give a rip for things that don't matter, which means it's never been easy for him to find a place in church. That's because churches so often emphasize and obsess over things that don't really matter.

So now Milton is a chef. And like everything he does, his work is deep and thoughtful.

You want to hear a deeply spiritual man, one who has serious theological training and can cook like the guys on TV, talk about lent, ashes, and how reducing our lives to their essence is like preparing a demi-glace sauce?

You probably won't read anything better this Lenten season.

Growing up Baptist, I had no idea what Ash Wednesday was. Only when I got to San Antonio and started rubbing shoulders with people of other faiths did I find out what a wonderful spiritual exercise Lent can be.
