POMP, CIRCUMSTANCE AND FRITO PIE

I’ve just heard about the most creative food that will be served at an upcoming high-school graduation party.

The son was a baseball jock all through school, and the daughter has played softball since she was itty bitty. So the parents have basically spent the last 15 years at ballfields, and enjoyed many a traditional concession stand meal.

So it makes me smile to learn that, at her graduation party, Kristy is going to serve “Frito Pies.”

These are the immensely high-calorie, sodium-drenched, but delicious, treats where you tug open an individual-size sack of Fritos corn chips, mush the chips to the sides a little bit, blob in a big dollop of chili, and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Close it and shake it. Then eat this pie right out of the sack, with a plastic spoon. Ah! Now, THAT’S good.

What a way to mark the end of an era: with ballfield gourmet.

Prayer request: We pray for two young people, Dan and Caroline, to be guided by the Holy Spirit in conversations they are having this weekend about their future. O Lord of all relationships, keep them tender-hearted toward one another, gentle in patience, excellent in trust, heeding Your counsel, and working together to compromise and be of one accord, for their good and Your glory. (Hebrews 10:23)
