Today is the
first of Lent when we commemorate the 40 days of Jesus Christ’s fasting. It’s our
time to practice self-discipline, renew our purpose in life, and exercise
self-control in regard to our appetites.
With that in
mind, The Armenian Kitchen will post recipes for those who wish to avoid meat,
fish, dairy products or eggs in the coming weeks.
