Lenten Fish Fry Roundup

[a100driver]

Hi everyone,

I don't post much, and I know that this topic has been beat to death, but I just returned from yet another fish fry at St. Francis of Asissi. I've been going to these fish frys for years on my lunch, and it is still my favorite. The food is great, but it's the PEOPLE that really make the visit worthwhile. These are a dedicated, loving bunch of people.

I realize that I'm making a plug for them, but they deserve it. Plus, they are going to be on Channel 7 news at 5pm today.

Here's a link about the church for your enjoyment:

Thanks for listening, and I hope you give St. Francis's fish fry and/or their church a visit.

Stromberg2,

Thanks! I'll be there, Good Lord willing. I might even drive the A100!

BTW...I just saw a little clip on Channel 7 news about St. Francis of Asissi's fish frys. All the people that I spoke about were in their clip.

Allow me to spend a few lines on the subject of Fish Fries and sex. Once a pack of teenage girls, including my girl at that time, worked at the Knights of Columbus hall on Grand River at Schaefer Rd. For the Friday night fish fries they scraped off fish scales with bottle caps all night long for one dollar an hour. As they prepared to leave for the night they would clean up with lemon juice - squeezing the lemons onto their soft, young hands, their wrists and forearms. Lemon seeds would blister out of the fruit, and the juicy meat of the lemons would often explode onto their skin, to be licked away before they all left for their rides home. I still recall the sweet, intoxicating aroma of lemons whenever my girl entered my automobile after a night at the K of C - that sweet, girl-woman who had just gotten off bottle cap detail so many years ago. Thanks for this thread.
