The Best Meal Since Arriving England

Being in the military lodging (family suite), we do not have the benefit to fully cook a meal that would satisfy our cravings (NOT TOO BAD). So this weekend, we were invited to one of Rodney's co-worker's house for dinner. He is married to a lady from Thailand. It was a very good dinner. I felt like I hadn't eaten in so many days. A home cooked meal really tastes good, particularly if the cook is really good. Well, I must say she is good (notice how I used the word "good" several times) and yes, everything was good!. We have gone to several nice restaurants here in downtown Huntington just outside RAF Alconbury, but none suits our taste yet. What made it even worse is we went to this expensive restaurant because we had a taste for sea food, we were not please because the fish was not fresh and it actually smelled bad even the people next to our table said the same thing. Needless to say, we complained. And guess what, we did not pay for the meal and they even offered us (people in the restaurant) anything we wanted from the restaurant for free. The table next to us ordered steaks, but we only asked for a glass of wine and left. You wanna bet? We will not go back to that restaurant ever.

Back to this couple, both she and her husband are christian. So, we call this dinner a good "fellowship". On top of that, they invited us to visit their church. The church is located in Cambridge, which about 30 minutes from Alconbury and it will be about 45 minutes drive once we moved into our house. The service is similar to the way Bethel Temple is organized. I must say the female pastor (guest speaker for today) was very good. She reminds me of Joyce Myers. We have already attended the service here on base. It is not too bad, the people are very friendly. We don't mind attending the base chapel. We might still visit churches from time to time. The picture isn't the best because it was raining when it was taken. But this supposedly is the a five star hotel in Cambridge.
