Saint Pat

Today is my first day in my new office and I'm excited to start my new job at The American Bible Society in Wayne, Pennsylvania - near Philadelphia.

Pat's

With Philadelphia comes Philly Cheese Steaks.

This is Pat's King of Steaks, the claimed inventor of what might be the single greatest single contribution to American cuisine. I had this when I was here for my interview about 3 weeks ago. I also had Geno's across the street - also good, but I like Pat's better I think.

This last note might open me up to a horde of criticism and questions about my upbringing... you get the picture.

Maybe it's just me...

Twitter with a raspberry reduction

Twitter w/rasberry reduction

It's Internet Ministry Conference time and the food is always amazing. Notice this dessert - white chocolate mousse in a chocolate shell with a raspberry reduction, next to an iPod touch with twitter running on it.

That's much better than an iPod touch with a raspberry reduction running on it.

maybe it's just me...

Fall - with a twist

Fall

Whilst driving through my local Starbucks I like to make fun of Sylvia's order. She gets a "Venti, skinny, vanilla, latte" but when I order it I like to say something like this.

first I'm gonna need a big ole honkin' venti, skinny, no-fat, no-sugar, no-fun, no-nothin' vanilla, latte...

WITH WHIP

Sylvia laughs when I do that, and that's half the reason. This time, the intrepid barista in the drive-thru says:

wow - with that twist at the end I thought I was in an M. Night Shyamalan movie

We applauded when we got to the window.

I'm not a big fan of Fall - as it has fully arrived here in West Michigan, but I do like the Pumpkin Spice Latte an awful lot.
...maybe it's just me?
