Comments on: When Is a Large Really a Medium? http://preachermike.com/2006/12/30/when-is-a-large-really-a-medium Sniffing out the work of God in the world... Wed, 08 Oct 2008 02:40:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Kennady http://preachermike.com/2006/12/30/when-is-a-large-really-a-medium#comment-52112 Kennady Fri, 23 Feb 2007 07:15:58 +0000 http://www.preachermike.com/2006/12/30/when-is-a-large-really-a-medium#comment-52112 I can't believe I actually found this blog as easily as I did! Anyway, I work for Little Pappasito's, and as of two days ago, I heard of this blog from two of our delightful guests. They informed me of this blog questioning Pappasito's portions, and to be honest, it made me wonder as well. To rectify the situation, I did something that may baffle you - it's called it a little simple research. I'm sure any waiter (if he/she was good) would have done the same for you. I questioned my kitchen manager, and apparently there is a significant difference worth the one extra dollar you fork over for those two extra slivers. There are two more oz. of fajita chicken, one more of fajita beef (beef is more expensive), as well as an extra inch in the diameter of the tortillas, plus 1 1/2 oz. more guacamole and sour cream. You think your pictures are worth a thousand words, but where are the pictures of the depth of the quesadilla? Where is the weight? I would have thought somebody so passionate about our quesadilla would order one medium and one large "to go" to continue their research in depth. (I'm not mocking, just making light of the situation.) Please don't knock us, though. You know every bite is worth the money you spend, and if it's not, we'll quickly alleviate the situation. Anyway, sorry to bore most of you, but maybe a few of you will be pleased to learn the size differences are more than the cut. P.S. If you had me as your waiter, I would have honestly recommended the medium to you anyway, as most people should not be consuming that much of a meal in one seating.

I think people say that the food is great so that they can go for the atmosphere. My wife and I spent our first date eating by the pool. I would have rather taken her to El Fenix, but no pool or stars. Jamie B-

Food's great, but we really take visitors to Joe T's more for the atmosphere than the food. When the weather's warm, there's nothing better than sharing time with family/friends somewhere out on the patio at Joe T's. Mike, drop me an e-mail sometime when you come to Ft. Worth in the Spring, and we'll show you what we mean.

Aren't those terms relative? Also, what's the difference between a sermon and a sermonette? What gets me is when the have a medium, large and extra large but no small. Aren’t those terms relative?

Well, I have this idea about how the congregation can be givien a sermon topic and then contribute parts of the sermon by email with scripture refs, illustrations, other content, etc. Then the preacher can assemble the parts and mention who said what as he presents the lesson. This gives power to the people and democratizes the sermon. Great idea? This is how we can let the wisdom of God given to the people, to serve the body of Christ. It's a sermon of the people, by the people, and for the people of God. You know how you can make your own pizza?

In August, he launched a campaign to raise $100,000 by the end of the year. Thanks to people like you, we've raised over 73% of that goal -- which is quite amazing, considering that this is our first such effort! Many blessings to you and yours. Thanks for your support!
