fides quarens intellectum Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 hmm... Catholic Cuisine doesn't have anything for Saint Cecilia. sugar cookies with a music note cookie cutter? sing a few of your daughter's favorite songs or hymns as a family? cinnamon rolls for breakfast that you could form into music notes?

Lil Red Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 thanks for checking! i found a recipe for a martyr's chiffon dessert I'm going to try (if I can find a crown mold tomorrow!), and going to try to find a decorative harp at a craft store, and stopping by a flower shop to see if they can make a "crown" of lilies and roses.

Lil Red Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 i also found this book and ordered it (though it won't be here until after Thanksgiving): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1584594756/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinaSt.Cecilia2772 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Ever thought of making your own music box?? http://www.amazon.com/Kikkerland-Make-Your-Own-Music/dp/B000HAUEFY St. Cecilia is my confirmation saint, and someone made me a music box with a St. Cecilia prayer in it. It was one of the most creative gifts I've ever gotten. Might be a stretch though since Thanksgiving is in 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missionseeker Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I have the book "cooking with the saints at home." My stuff was packed up six years ago. Four years ago, all of my family's books and other stuff were packed up, so it's a long shot, but I think there may be a recipe for her. I'll look when I get home (tomorrow) to see if I can find it.

Winchester Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 A statue of a Pilgrim triumphantly socking a savage in the stomach. Then the same savage faithfully reading the Bible inside of a decent home, not a teepee. Make it out of bacon. So it's edible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabeth09 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 You could try to write a song for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'm talented enough to write a song, either, but will have music playing, at any rate.
