Deliciousness

 Interesting day today; met a friend for breakfast, so I had to awaken at the buttcrack of dawn.  But, it was good to catch up.  Then, I left work early because we had our quarterly District Presidents' meeting.  It was a bit long, if you will, but it was incredibly informative.  I learned quite a bit about what other parishes and conferences are doing, ideas for ministry, other resources to use... good stuff, and I am still doing follow-up emails and such now (and will be for a while!).

Then, since I was in the neighborhood, sort of, I decided to hit the Caribe Bake Shop.  It was a bit farther north, but not that far... the place is carry out only, and has a wide panoply of options; I went with the $10 meal deal (meat, rice, plantains or beans), and then picked up some sides -- a beef empanada and a beef-stuffed baked potato -- and, for dessert, some bread pudding.  They even threw in a giant loaf of bread.  It was pretty good!  The portions were yuuuuggge, which was nice -- lunch and dinner tomorrow, at the very least.  The pork was good; a tad dry, but it was falling off the fork, and had a good flavor.  The plantains were quite good, as were the sides.  The bread pudding was more a slab, with a more flan-like interior, so it was richer than, say a clumpier bread pudding.  It was a nice touch to the end of the meal.

This, on the other hand, is like a delicious appetizer before a sumptuous meal (hopefully, the end of Roe v. Wade).  I don't think it means that much aside from the targeted states, mainly, but it does send a signal to the states and localities... I also appreciated that Thomas pointed out that most gun control laws were racist, which, of course, is a nice slam on all of the Dems...
