The Frim Fram Sauce

 


 

My dear friends were in town, and we went to dinner at STK in Charlotte.  The restaurant is new here.  I’ve eaten at it before in Disney Springs FL for brunch.  Dinner was an entirely different vibe.  While it was extensively fancy with a matching price tag and valet receipt, I enjoyed all of it.  Everyday cant be filled with  Frim Fram Sauce, but sometimes, you need to put on the Ritz!

 I am all about wining and dining.  The fancier and more exclusive the better.  I’m an excellent cook, so I expect the food quality to be good, but I always think, I could do just as good in my own kitchen. 😊 When I go out to eat, I’m looking for WOWzer service and dining experience.  Ever since COVID in 2020 there has been a real shortage in hospitality and tourism staffing, and experiences have lacked luster. 

For this reason, and  more, we don’t eat out that often. So when I do go out, I want the Frim Fram Sauce.  It is my opportunity to order those things that it takes hours to food prep.  I hate cooking to cook, but I love delicious food. STK did not disappoint!

We too

k all the cool kid pics.  We had sexy cocktails.  We people watched and laughed and all the people who came in out of curiosity and quickly left.  We also laughed at the ill prepared folks without reservations.  We had enough courses to do all this and then some. 

We ate a shared selection on a board.  We started with Calamari.  We ate the blue cheese salad.  It had fried pork belly on it.  (This alone totally made my night.)  We ate Chilean Sea Bass, Dry Aged Steak (Oscar Style on the side), Lobster Mac and Cheese, and Brussel Sprouts. I even felt the Pellegrino was extra fizzy.   The only draw back was that atmosphere was like a Miami night club.  It was hard to get that quality intimacy that friends share because of the blaring house music.

Because my company was impeccable, my friends were still the best part.  It matters not where you eat, but whom you are breaking bread with.  It just so happens that this lovely couple enjoys Jazz and Fine Dining as much as I do.

I don’t go out like I used to, so when I’m out, I run into people  This night, I ran into like 5 sets of people I had not seen in years.  It was good to embrace these folks, send well wishes.  It was nice to be in stilettos with fur and lipstick. I felt young and alive!  It also felt equally good, to drive to my quiet rural home, and go to bed.  I went to sleep that night so thankful for the ability to snap into the night life with frim fram sauce.  I gave thanks that I now lead a life where I don’t need to do those things often, or sometimes not at all.

As the holidays come, I’m sure there will be a few more orders of Frim Fram for me, until then….

Abundance Always. -Bliss

Sing Unto the Lord

  Sing Unto the Lord This was the name of the songbook in the Pentecostal Church I grew up in. It was my favorite songbook.   It was the only songbook I knew. During COVID, I ordered a copy of it to teach my children the hymns I grew up singing. To my dismay, the organization changed the songs that were listed. It was an abbreviated version of my childhood memory. Singing has always been one of my favorite things.  It makes me happy.   I love music, and I love to sing. I always wanted to be a jazz soloist. I don’t have a strong soloist voice, but I can carry a tune.   I’m an efficient backup/choir singer. It never stopped me from grabbing the mic in church or at Karaoke. Most of my adult life I’ve sat on the back pew and absorbed the goodness of God.   During covid, we weren’t going to church at all. No one was. I was inspired to sing and write like never before.   I’ve written so many poems and songs over the last 4 years. Most of whi...

The Universe

  This week I had a conversation with a friend.   Our paths have intertwined on various levels and paths over the years. We both have always subscribed to manifesting and abundance.   I discovered recently that she too is renewing her faith in Jesus.   We are both being revived in the faith. We discussed the layers of “new thought” and it's   place in God’s plan. She shared with me some revelations about several conversations that we’ve previously had. I thought back over my entire journey.   I grew up underneath the church pew.   As a young adult I got distracted but returned to my faith in a fringe capacity.   I permanently occupied the “backsliders’ row” on the church pew. When I was far from the cross, I missed the discipline of faith.   I missed the inspiration,  promise of abundance, and prosperity that results in   being sprit filled.   When I was introduced to meditation and  manifesting,   I found gre...

Make Hay

  This summer I took two courses.   Math and Business Ethics. I felt drained mentally.   The last 8 weeks went by like a slow-motion blink. I had joy.   Good things happened, but it just felt exhausting. One positive thing that occurred was my involvement with my new church. It’s in its infancy stages and everything is new and exciting.   The people, the passion, and the mission.   It has rekindled faith and promise in me that had solidified on a back burner somewhere. This week I was inspired to write.   I wrote a song.   I wrote two poems.   I wrote a presentation for a motivational speech I will soon deliver. I returned to my blog. The irony about taking Math and Business Ethics is that I really do know math conceptually, and I do have ethics, figuratively.   However, after fundamental applications were required in the processing of both math and ethics, I was struggling. Literally struggling.   Thin...
