Please sir, may I have some more?

Our Daily Bread
There is a famous scene in the Broadway show and movie Oliver! where the hungry young orphan asks for more food.  "Please sir, may I have some mo'?"  The response to this simple, innocent request is outrageous by today's standards! The orphanage administrators thought Oliver was too full of himself for being so bold!

The devotional talks about the balance between humility and understanding our worth in the big scheme of things.  We shouldn't think too highly of ourselves, but we should also never discount who we are in Christ!  He gave himself for each of us!  We are beloved children of God.  We are fearfully and wonderfully made.  We know whose we are!  Praise God!

Lord, please help us find the healthy balance of humility and grace so we can better love ourselves and others!

Foodie Friday
The 89
I took my close friend, Kimmie to The 89 for her birthday on Wednesday.  Wow! I am not a huge seafood person, but I really liked what I had.  We started with two appetizers: calamari and Angry Mussels.  The calamari was tender and tasty under a light batter.  The sauce it was served with really accented the flavor.  The Angry Mussels were made with chorizo and a few other spicy things.  They went very well together especially on the garlic crustini.  I had the crab cakes for supper.  I substituted truffle risotto for the herb garlic potatoes.  Wow!  The risotto was well worth the $2 upcharge!  The crab cakes were very tasty especially with the sauce that came with them.  My friend had the scallops with the herb garlic potatoes and seasonal veggies.  She loved them.  We skipped dessert since we were very full!

They also have a very nice happy hour menu of drinks and appetizers that you can only get at the bar.  Check it out.  The restaurant is located next to Max and Ermas and the HER Realty office on Nationwide Blvd across from the Drury Inn.
