Big Butter Jesus

In the most delightful story of the day, a jesus sculpture belonging to a church in ohio was struck by lightning and burned to the ground.  This sculpture was referred to by area residents as "Touchdown Jesus" and more stupendously "Big Butter Jesus".  There was even a lovely ditty inspired by this sculpture, called "Big Butter Jesus".  The chorus is as follows:

Big butter Jesus
Sweet cream Jesus
Oh country fresh Jesus
Unsalted Jesus
Oh Promise Jesus
Imperial Jesus
Can’t believe it’s not Jesus
Oleo Lord.

Can’t believe it’s not Jesus,
Oh spread the word.

Bacon Donuts

Just when I thought I'd had enough of the bacon craze, I tried Traif's bacon donuts...

Delicious, freshly made and puffy donut holes drizzled with dulce de leche and sprinkled with little slivers of salty flavorful bacon, accompanied by a refreshing and complementary espresso ice cream. 

The other food was fantastic, too.  Highly recommended!
