Feedback Friday: Favorite Food
In honor of WordPress adding polls to our blogs, I give you Feedback Friday!
An Added Touch
Paige, a college friend of ours, was in town visiting her sister Nicole, who serves as the DCE at St. John’s in Orchard Park. We got together last night for dinner down there. We ended up at Ilio DiPaolo’s for some great Italian food. I had the Seafood Chipotle after Jaime jokingly suggested it because I like Chipotle burritos. It was a mix of scallops, shrimp, crab, green onion and mushrooms over linguini with a white clam sauce. Seriously, it could have been the best Italian food I’ve ever had.
We hung around for a while in the outdoor courtyard where we ate after dinner catching up on life. While we were chatting, one of the DiPaolo’s came up and started talking with us, telling us about how the courtyard was modeled after the street his father grew up on in Italy, with the walls painted to match the view from where we were sitting. He ended up giving us some Limoncello for free. Way too strong for my tastes, but very cool nonetheless.
I probably would have been willing to go back for dinner again without the freebie at the end, but that sealed the deal. Sometimes it’s that added touch, above what you expect, that gets you to come back for more. What’s the “added touch” at First Trinity that people aren’t expecting to receive but do when they visit us?
Spiritual Food
Jaime was at Wegman’s recently and found a great new cereal. Check it out:
That’s right, Ezekiel 4:9 cereal. Sue tells me they make other things as well. I just thought it was funny. We bought a box to try (really to blog about, but we’ll try it anyway) and just had to share. It’s in the organic foods section. I’ll let you know what I think about the taste in another entry once we actually get around to trying it. 
It reminds me of the important of being fed spiritually with God’s Word. I hope you will take advantage of one of our three Christmas Eve services (5, 7, 11 p.m.) to be fed in preparation of God’s birth among us. There’s also a communion celebration on Christmas day at 10:30 a.m. where you can actually touch and taste Christ in His holy supper.
UPDATE: My review has now been posted.
