While checking out something called “Shine” on Yahoo I came across an article comparing the “best” of the big chain fast food places. First of all, most bars can have wings ready just as fast as any fast food joint since most bars are fast food joints in a way and wings are all cooked the same way – deep fried.
Second, the single best place to get wings that I have personally experienced is the Quaker Steak and Lube. It’s a growing restaurant chain, but it started as a single restaurant/bar in Sharon, Pennsylvania, not too far from the Zerobrains headquarters. Because it’s the Lube they have several classic motorcycles and automobiles on display with a general car motif throughout. BW3 and some of our local bars and pizza shops make good wings, but the Lube offers award winning wings without compromise, and if you don’t want wings they have steak sandwiches and some other goodies as well. I’d recommend any of these places over Papa Johns and KFC, and chances are you can think of a place or two in your own community with top notch bar food, maybe even from your own kitchen, but if you have Quaker Steak and Lube and you haven’t tried their wings, then you owe it to yourself to give them a shot, and they’re not paying me a dime to say it. My personal favorite – Louisiana Lickers, but plain old hot wings never fail to hit the spot when they’re made right.
Cholesterol city. Maybe I’ll just have the haluski.
Have fun, eat good food, enjoy the Superbowl and don’t die of a heart attack.
After attending a parish council meeting, and being assigned to do something related to catechesis, although I don’t really know what, I began to read some of the material that we discussed, notably the series of talks by Pope John Paul II that we know as the “Theology of the Body”.
This is an impressive work available on the EWTN site for free. Theology of the Body
We had discussed this in relation to marriage and respect for oneself and for others in a sexual perspective since that is the main topic of Christopher West’s work. I think there’s so much more to it than merely sex. Pope John Paul II leads us through creation and the sense of man’s first awareness of himself and his relationship to the rest of creation and with God, and also his recognizing that the only true partner for himself is woman. If you have the time to devote to such reading then Theology of the Body is totally worth it.
Somebody threw a bocce ball in my yard a few weeks ago. It’s been covered with snow for most of that time. I left it in the yard, hoping they would return to get it. It seemed pointless to take it to the police station. Do people look for lost bocce balls? A set of balls can be expensive and whoever lost it might want it back, but would they think to go to the police station to inquire about their loss?
The Mystic Monk coffee came today. They sent the Breakfast blend, the Mystic Monk blend and the Hazelnut because hazelnut and coffee were meant to be together, like the perfect married couple. They also sent a two handle mug, sans logo. It has imperfections, which is exactly what they said on their website, but it’s a nifty, huge mug. The monks must be wired if they’re drinking that much coffee.
The dog is responding well to the fish oil treatments. Following his 2 Dr’s appointments for cortisone shots to treat a ruptured disc I started him on fish oil and started cooking a nutritious stew. Dog food appears to be made out of garbage, so he gets real food. Cooking a pot full of chicken and turkey with various dog approved vegetables and supplements appears to have made him much happier and it’s not any more expensive than the dog food that he hated. He seems to have recovered from the back problem nicely and is his old self again. He loves the fish oil, but I have to cut open the capsules and pour it onto a plate. He’s also shedding less.
