The Weekend Started Out Falafel

Falafel. Boy, I hope I spelled that right. The weekend started out falafel. I should say the weekend started out eating a falafel. Let me explain.

Friday night, after work, I wanted to do something special. So, I called up Jeff and Tricia to see if they had plans that they could fit us into. Jeff said they were going to First Friday in Goshen and were going to eat a lentil sandwich at a fund-raiser. You know my hearing is bad, but I thought he said "lentil sandwich". So I asked him to repeat it, and he said they were going to eat falafels at a fund-raiser. I knew I had heard him wrong the first time. Anyway, he graciously allowed Jay and I to join in the fun.

It was cold and windy and snowy when we headed to Goshen. We met Tricia and Jeff on the corner near their apartment and walked down to Main Street to find the Falafel venders. It was New World Theatre that we were supporting. Those two guys were standing under a portable awning, making and selling falafels right next to The Daily Brew. We ordered them up and went inside to eat them. First time I ever had one. They were good. I hope they do it again sometime soon since I don't know anywhere else in the area where you can get a falafel.

By the way, a falafel is a type of lentil sandwich. So the weekend started out Falafel, but it got better after that. : )
