    They already do wonder about me! Now they're gonna wonder about you 
because you're related to me! I'll just have to tell them that you're  
not a blonde and you're pretty brilliant! You make good Chicken 
Marsalla too! 

    That reminds me of another little funny story though it's not 
really a "church" story but it has to do with our beliefs. 

    I learned how to make Chicken Marsalla by helping Jan in the 
kitchen at her sister's 25th wedding anniversary a month or so ago. 
When I came home I had to try it out on my husband. Well to make 
Chicken Marsalla you need Marsalla wine (the alcohol cooks out in the 
oven). Well, my daughter and I went to the store and the liquor 
department was the first stop. I got 1 bottle of Marsalla wine and 
placed in right in the top holder (usually where us ladies put our 
purses). My daughter Joy, was feeling a little self conscious and said, 
"Mom, just as sure as you have that stuff in the cart for the whole 
world to see, we're going to run into some Apostolic person that we 
know". Sure enough, on the very next isle, there was Sister Pierce and 
her husband (he had never received the holyghost but would visit once 
in a while). She was from the church that we used to go to. My daughter 
was pretty embarassed, but it didn't really bother me. I explained that 
I was making Chicken Marsalla and how I got the recipe and her husband 
jokingly told me that was a pretty lame excuse. It was pretty funny, 
especially if you were there!
