Good day, all, and peace to you!

Dear Char... peace to you and hope you get all sorted out soon, both the construction and your health!

Dear Ataloa... peace to you, as well, and... WHOA, girl! Hope ya'll have some floaty wings close at hand! Or maybe a boat (or maybe a submarine - yikes!) - LOLOLOL!

And, yes, dear ANOMOS (peace to you, too!), I have eaten at Juniors (the Brooklyn location) three times, the last time in 2008 when daughter's BFF took me and dear hubby for brunch (well, late breakfast, not really brunch)... after which we "visited" Bethel (although, only my dear Lord knows why because I had already been there and wasn't impressed at ALL - flabbergasted, actually, but that's another thread... and now I remember why we went: dear hubby hadn't been there, yet - LOLOL! I digress.)

Junior's has really good food; it's a Jewish establishment (reformed, NOT Hassidic - that's an entirely different world, in NYC and LA!)... and one of the features (besides the diner ambiance, great food, and WORLD-RENOWNED cheesecake!!!) is that a huge jar of the TASTIEST kosher dill pickles is placed in the center of EVERY table... no matter what time of day/night. Yep, even for breakfast!

Ya'll should get over there one day and check it out. After which YOU can visit Bethel (as if!)... then do what we did next and that is strolled across the Brooklyn Bridge, walked through the Financial District/Wall Street... and down to Ground Zero. All of which is something to see, really. I have pics of Ground Zero from last year... and the HUGE water pools (one acre each, the area occupied formerly by the north and south towers of the WTC). I'll put them up one day, maybe.

The new buildings (four) were still under construction then, but from my cousin's terrace I could see the tallest one this time which, at 104 stories, is not as tall than the previous towers (110 stories each) but is still pretty impressive to look at (from Brooklyn, any way - it seems MUCH taller than the ESB, but is only 2 stories higher).

Okay, enough of New Yawk for now (although, I'm already feeling a bit "homesick")...

Peace!

I guess the few times that I've been there they forgot the pickles for the table !

Yes, that all sounds great, Shelby; maybe I'll make it there one day. Shirley, did you like the food?

I've had the book for many years, but I don't remember ever trying any of the recipes (I'm not a cook, and don't know what I'm even doing with that book). But something has been nagging at me since I thought of the book. A point made in it that had corroborated something the wtbs had said. (The book tells some history of Brooklyn beginning with the 1930's)

I believe the watchtower had made a statement about Brooklyn being the whole world - I've forgotten in connection with what. But it might be something like Matthew 24:14, and they thought if they preached in Brooklyn, that would fulfill the commission to preach in all the inhabited earth. This may be completely wrong, as my memory is so faded from any of their teachings by now. It was one of those things that seemed so silly, I just put it on the back burner.

But then I read in this cookbook the statement: "Brooklyn was the world". And then I thought, well I can see how they might have thought that at one time.

Anyway, this is just something that was nagging at me, and I tried to look it up but couldn't find any info. If anyone knows what the exact statement was, please let me know.

Good morning dear A,

Now I can definitely see how they could be " the world", but not in the sense they are thinking. My thoughts are on the line of our Lords, " If you were part of the WORLD, the WORLD would be fond of you. But since you not part of it, do not belong to it, the WORLD hates you !!

Anyone who preaches CHRIST, anyone that exposes them for who they truly are....
They put to death. Spiritually and if they could, Physically just to shut us up.

Thanks for the share,
Love justmom

That is interesting, both of you.


And... good morning!l


Peace,

Ataloa - The food is good, Junior's has a large menu, so some things are on point and some things aren't, I guess just like any other restaurant. But their infamous cheesecake has ripoff prices. It's better to buy a small size 8 inch whole cake than an overpriced single slice.

Good morning everyone,

Just wanting to send some love and "HUGS" to everyone today.

I have recently taken a class at the local college and am meeting really cool people. All different backgrounds.

I also have decided that it was time to start looking for part time work. So I had been out job hunting and " BAM" a job has come my way. Yes it is back into what I know, love and am good at! The restaurant business. ( smiling at Tammy) I start training today and am excited.
It is 3 minutes away, so no commuting for me, yay!

Everything is great. Just wanted to share and update you all on my life.

Enjoy your day,
Love you all
Justmom

I'm really pleased for you JMom, it's great to hear about something working out just right. I hope you love the new job. Looking forward to hearing all about it.
