Breaking Bread, More than just Words!

As I get older I like to reflect back to those things that have a special place in my ever growing roll-a-dex of memories. One of those warm thought's are of my high school lunch room in the 1970's Mississippi school system where if nothing else lunch was great! No pizza or the trend foods of today, but big bowls of beef stew with potatoes, carrots and green beans with a box of chocolate milk and large golden brown, buttered up dinner rolls. Yes I said dinner rolls, the kind that would melt in your mouth and no matter how many you ate you would never get full.

That was only a flashback to me until I walked into Caritas Village one afternoon and discovered the bread of their guest breadmaker and chef Mrs. Leah Knox. Leah's rolls and cornbread (yes I said corn bread also) is a wonderful addition to the already amazing menu that the village has to offer. I added the corn bread to the soup of the day which was chicken pasta and didn't stop eating until I finished my third bowl and I even took some back to work with me.

Stop by the Village and try the rolls, soup and corn bread, and break bread with some of the wonderful people at The Village. Leah said she get's encouragement and support from her husband George which was understandable as they sat and ate lunch together "breaking bread" .mslknox@gmail.com

IT’S GOOD FOR YOU

My cheeseburger was a religious experience...

Melting provolone flows over and through a mound of caramelized onions and sautéed mushrooms, a luscious kind of lava covering a mountain of ground beef, all between two pieces of a toasted artisan bun fighting, and losing, a battle to contain the whole eruption. What happens when flavors this diverse come together – in this sandwich and in this place – can restore your faith.

A warm and welcoming restaurant...

in a neighborhood community center that so happens to be run by a trained chef. It's soup and sandwiches, with a meat-and-two selections for lunch. The Muffaletta, chicken BLT, meatloaf and lentil soups are excellent.
