[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 3969188, member: 24452"] Ok, funny story about food fails. When I got my first job out of college, we move to McGregor, TX, and our first Sunday there we visited the First Baptist Church. As soon as we got sat down, it was obvious the average age of the members was at least mid to late 70’s, and we stood out like sore thumbs being 22. The preacher and his wife were in their late 20’s, and before we could escape out the back door at the end of the service, they invited us over for lunch. Now let me say upfront, I’m not a picky eater, but this meal was a train wreck for me. The preacher’s wife was frying chicken (for the first time in her life) and doing baked potatoes. When the meal was ready, the “baked potatoes“ were sweet potatoes which I don’t eat (but did that day), and the chicken was still raw around the bones. The preacher and his wife were embarrassed, but they ended up being our best friends during our time there. [/QUOTE]
