Dio ScrantonRECTORY, SET, COOK! IV: Pastor Chef Spotlight
Is Father Joseph Elston, pastor, St. John the Evangelist Parish, Pittston and St Joseph Marello Parish Activities, a rock star in the kitchen?
Everyone’s favorite Susquehanna lobster fisherman, Father Elston has returned to his kitchen – pardon, to Jane and Midge’s kitchen – this time, not just as a priest and not just as a chef but as a full-fledged rock star … or so he dreams!
In this episode of Rectory, Set, Cook, Father Elston embarks on a culinary journey to create the ultimate comfort food: his Million-Dollar Meatloaf. But before he gets cooking, we take a detour into a dream sequence where he takes center stage, belting out You Make My Dreams (Come True) by Hall & Oates.
Reality sets in as housekeepers Jane and Midge wake him up, reminding him that it’s time for the “biggest thing of the year!” In the kitchen, Father Elston expertly prepares his famous meatloaf, boasting about his Worcestershire sauce pronunciation skills, the luxury of adding two whole eggs in such a time as this, and his well-known distaste for broccoli. “I’m like President Bush,” he says.
With Jane and Midge keeping things in order, pepper jelly as a secret ingredient in the meatloaf sauce, a nice green vegetable (asparagus or green beans, please) and a side of mashed Yukon gold potatoes, this dish is sure to be a favorite. But was it all just another dream?
