In this Thanksgiving season, there’s nothing like a hard morning’s work in the cold to make me thankful for food. When I’m starving, I don’t just pray before I eat – the entire meal is a prayer. Every bite<\/strong> is Hallelujah<\/strong><\/em>. Oooohhh. Fried rice with tiny bay shrimp. \u00a0Thank you Lord for this broccoli. \u00a0Oooohhh. \u00a0Thank you for these wonderful noodles.<\/em><\/p>\n
