Our faithful correspondents Anthony Kaczor and Sid Korpi report on their latest Lenten dining discoveries:
This week we’ll finish up the Fish Fry Days at the Tri-City American
Legion in New Brighton. Thank you for your input and keep us in informed for any fundraising events you are involved in or are aware of!!!
First last week we went to St Bonaventure in Bloomington when parking
in the lot we thought it was sparsely attended then someone said to
go around back of the church to the community center where we found
what seemed to be the entire city of Bloomington lined up for the
meal!!! The smell of the fish frying was heavy in the air and even if
we didn’t have somewhere to be in short order the scent didn’t
warrant a wait in that line like you might at a County Fair. Our walk
back to our car gave us our true reason for being there, which was a
mystical experience from a totally blind Black Lab within his white
eyes he seemed to be a very old soul that walked right up to us as if
it could see us.
We then stopped at the Bloomington Knights of Columbus which
advertises many fundraising events one being Fish Fries in Lent.
Unsure as to the set up we found this to be a sit down restaurant
style setting which had very slow service for a not to busy evening,
we left after nearly 10 minutes without even being served and had to
hit the Hub Shopping Center Burger King for fish sandwiches on our
way to the SW High Sock Hop which we were to do a Swing Dance demo.
Hope all is well in your life and this week it’s Good Friday starting
the Easter weekend. One church I know of still has a meatless meal is
at Our Lady of Guadalupe which we were at a couple weeks ago (Mexicanfood) So this week we’ll be wrapping up Fish Fry-Days and we’ll send out a review of them all!!!
This is Good Friday March 21st being most church Fish Fry events
are over. We’ll try out Tri-City American Legion in New Brighton, 400
Old Highway 8. We’ll be there around 6pm (after dinner head into the
bar area and find Anthonys 20 Gallon Blood donation picture).
