St. Lawrence's Ribs

I've been celebrating the feast day of deacon and martyr St. Lawrence. He was famous for being "cooked" on a grill. Having been on it for a while he finally had to say to his torturers, "I think I'm done on that side...You can turn me over now"! Being a humorist myself, Lawrence's is one of my favorite saints.

So on my way to work I'm thinking about how I might be a witness at work. It just kind of happened. I am working at a deli and I started with set up this a.m. Inadvertently my manager/co-worker left some barbequed ribs in the oven too long. They were a little dark...As if charred on a grill. So we put them out.

A little while later it occurred to me that we could sell them as "St. Lawrence's Ribs"! Vicky, busted out laughing, knowing the story of the saint, and promptly handed me a marker and a sign. And of course it had a sale price on it.

We sold it all! Way to go Lawrence!
