music bridges the divide

Hi wildhoney

Last night while at work I went to this restaurant to pick up a bunch of food for some guys. Most don't have time to go out, so I usually will go pick up food for several people...I pretty much have nothing but free time...makes for some long nights though...

Any way, most evenings this place closes too early, so it is usually not an option. It was Friday and they stay open until 11pm, the earliest possible time I can pick up 'lunch' for the guys without it getting cold before they have a chance to eat...

It isn't in the nicest of areas, guessing by the surroundings it is in Dearborn(many mosques, and what-not), although this was an Italian restaurant, and a bit pricey...

As you enter, they have a wall of photographs, most of which look like snapshots from the Godfather films...lol

I noticed all the recent U.S. Presidents have been here, and seem to be quite friendly with the owner, of which I have no idea who that is, suppose I could Google it...

Most others I didn't recognize, although I am certain Jimmy Hoffa was amongst them.

But, I did recognize this man, they had an entire collage of him. He even has a dish named after himself here, of which, he actually prepared personally. They have several pictures of him in the kitchen preparing the food, hanging out with the staff and patrons...must be a pretty cool guy..

I like home coooking..but now and again its nice to eat out

and its so lovely to rejoice in anothers fortune..to see Gods power..

I like home cooking as well, but I find eating it is much more pleasurable than preparing it...thats not exactly correct..I should say, preparing it is enjoyable, its the whole grocery shopping and cleaning up part I don't enjoy so much...

If it isnt prepared with love it doesnt taste good..:)

seriously..its the love that makes the cooking..amazing but true in my opinion...and God Grace..I always pray..silently ..before I cook..and before I do anything..and it makes the difference.. I havent painted for a while..but before painting I always pray..and if I ever forget its noticeable..and I quickly correct it..its not BS..It really makes the difference..to me at least
