Long-running Marigny restaurant La Peniche will close Tuesday (March 25). Kappa Horn, who owns and operates the Uptown diner Slim Goodies (3322 Magazine St.), bought the restaurant. After about three weeks of renovations and updates, she'll reopen the place as Horn's

"We'll pull up that old grandma carpet," Horn said. "It needs someone to love it again."
To start the day, Horn's will offer "breakfast by Slim Goodies." That Uptown diner specializes in classic American breakfast fare.

For lunch and dinner, Horn has hired Greg Fonseca, who was the executive chef at Booty's Street Food until earlier this month.

"The menu will be New Orleans comfort food with a little something beyond," Fonseca said. "A little something that you don't get everywhere. Elevated, if you will."

Fonseca was still finalizing the menu, but he plans to offer some items, like the festival favorite crawfish bread, that aren't often seen on local menus.

Although Fonseca hopes Horn's will be a destination for New Orleans diners, he said that prices will be modest enough to encourage nearby residents to return frequently.

"You want to be able to take care of your neighbors," he said.
Horn's will be located at 1940 Dauphine St., New Orleans.

Today's Grace

I pray for the grace to recognize how and where I might have a divided heart desiring both "life and death" through my attitudes and choices.

Scripture/Reading

The Two Standards of St. Ignatius Loyola from the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola:
 
heart Imagine the enemy seated himself in that great field of Babylon, as in a great chair of fire and smoke, in shape horrible and terrifying. Consider the discourse which he makes them, and how he tells them to cast out nets and chains; that they have first to tempt with a longing for riches - as he is accustomed to do in most cases - that people may more easily come to vain honor of the world, and then to vast pride. So that the first step shall be that of riches; the second, that of honor; the third, that of pride; and from these three steps he draws on to all the other vices.
 
So, on the contrary, one has to imagine as to the supreme and true Captain, who is Christ our Lord. He puts Himself in a great field of that region of Jerusalem, in lowly place, beautiful and attractive. Consider the discourse which Christ our Lord makes to all His servants and friends whom He sends on this expedition, recommending them to want to help all, by bringing them first to the highest spiritual poverty, and - if His Divine Majesty would be served and would want to choose them - no less to actual poverty; the second is to be of contumely and contempt; because from these two things humility follows. So that there are to be three steps; the first, poverty against riches; the second, contumely or contempt against worldly honor; the third, humility against pride. And from these three steps let them induce to all the other virtues.
 

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some signs of a "divided heart"? How do they find expression in my personal life, my community/family life, my ministry?  
  2. What is my attitude toward riches, honor and pride? What choices does this attitude lead to?  
  3. What is my attitude toward poverty, contempt and humility? What choices do I make based on this attitude?  
  4. How do I try to reconcile my divided heart? What role does Christ play in this?
