| Granny's Rolls with Spunky Hollow Cream |
What's up guys,
I hope your week is starting out well! Kairos has a fun buzz
going around because of the upcoming changes to our daily operations, and also
because in 13 days Miss Haley Ann Hobart will be Mrs. James K Jones! The name
change is very cool for both of us on many levels... For her because her
Momma’s Maiden Name was Jones (No Relation!) J
and because we are getting married in DeFuniak Springs Florida at the same spot
that her parents got married at. In that place a “Jones” became a “Hobart” and
now a “Hobart” is becoming a “Jones”! Neat Stuff! For me, my Grand-Daddy was
named James Jones and everyone referred to my Granny as Mrs. Jones. The other
day Haley and I received a piece of mail addressed to Mr. & Mrs. James
Jones and my Aunt Denise pointed out to me how my Grandparents mail was always
addressed that way. Blew me away. I told the Miss that the only Mrs. Jones I
ever knew was my Granny, so that title is a very special one and very dear to
my heart. I know Granny would be thrilled at knowing Haley is the one
inheriting that!
Speaking of my Granny, the new Express Lunch we have
designed for Kairos is really inspired by her and my memories growing up. She
was and is the foremost influence behind Kairos Kafe and me. This is the Legacy
that she established in me, in our family, and in all who had the pleasure of
knowing her. Her passion was cooking for her family and friends and she always
put out spreads full of delicious goodness. Everybody always said “Mrs. Jones
you need to open a restaurant!” She would smile at that. Now she has inspired
one. But I’m ready to take things to a different level so that we can resemble
that experience a little better. We have changed the hours to 11:00 – 2:00
Monday through Friday and are offering an Express Lunch that is fast, fun, and
of course full of delicious goodness. I’ve tried to come up with a way to price
it that is economical and budget friendly. -The Large is 9.99 -The Small is
7.99 and a Side is 1.99. If you’re looking for a heavy Lunch then I would go
for the large plate. I would suggest the small if you are a light eater, but I
also know that some folks eat really light for lunch, so we came up with the
side dish side that you can fill up with whatever you desire. You could get two
of those and actually eat lunch for 3.98 if that’s your desire. I thought that
was a pretty cool idea. The Express Lunch though will not be all you can eat
even though you have the fun of making your own plate. I’ve tried to find a way
to work this out so that Kairos offers the highest quality lunch at a fair
price for you and for us. I hope you will give me input as we begin this week,
and I look forward to hearing your thoughts, comments, and suggestions. The
Menu will daily include all your favorites: J.J.'s Grilled Chicken Tenderloins,
Stutzman's Southern Fried Chicken Tenderloins, all of our made from scratch Sauces,
Nelson's Marvelous Meatballs or Hurley's Hamburger Steak, a Kasserole or Baked
Pasta of the Day, Signature Dish of the Day, Lenora's Company Potatoes, Grice's
Green Beans, Branden's Fried Green Tomatoes, Graber's Southern Fried Broccoli,
Slabaugh's Sauteed Spinach, Mee-Maw's Veggie of the Day, Glynis Gail's Broccoli
Salad, Bonham's Potato Salad, Becky's Fresh Fruit, Granny's Salad of the Day,
Norma’s Mixed Green Salad will be in salad bar form so that you can make it
like you want, and a Fresh Kobbler of the Day! And of course Lenora and Mary
will be serving you up Granny’s Famous Rolls with Spunky Hollow Cream and
Kairos Southern Sweet Tea! I am also accepting requests for the daily options
that change out! If you have a Kasserole, a Veggie, a Cold Salad, a Signature
Dish, or a Kobbler you want to see on a certain day just let us know and I will
do my very best to make that happen for you! We started doing that with you
guys last week and it has been working out beautifully! I look forward to
serving your needs and building relationships around food with you guys! Now, I
will actually be able to walk out into the Dining Room and see you! Come see us
this week. Tell a friend about our new system, and I look forward to your
feedback!
This past weekend was a busy time
for me. I have so much to do in preparation for the Wedding (who knew there
were so many details!) and I am also transforming my home from a Bachelor Pad
into a house suitable for my Missus and I to begin our home. My mind sometimes
gets overwhelmed when I have too many details so I have been staying very close
to Jesus and asking Him to guide me each step of the way. The results have been
incredible. I am in awe of the way that He leads me when I am willing to give
up control and allow Him to do what He wants to do! I have decided that this
stress free way of living is how I want to live the rest of my life. Good
Stuff! As I was pondering some of these things while cutting the grass I got a
very clear sense of something He has been trying to show me for years. It’s
pretty simple: The Best Gift that I can give to anyone, including Jesus, is to
be myself. Now I know that there are things about me that Jesus may or may not
want to change. If any of you know me or any part of my journey then you know I
am all about change. Nothing excites me more than seeing my life someone’s life
transformed from the inside out by Jesus. It is the most beautiful thing to
behold. But I think that for a large part, at least for me, we tend to try and
figure out what other people’s expectations are and go with that. Maybe it’s
not conscious. Maybe it’s a subtle thing, but Jesus communicated to me how much
He loves me just as I am, and for who I am, and I believe He wanted me to share
that with you guys this week. We all have stuff. We all have issues. But He
loves us just as we are and will meet us wherever we are. And if there is
something that needs changing He will handle that. It’s not my job to try and
change you and it’s not your job to try and change me. There is great freedom
in that, in being who you are even if it doesn’t fit the preconceived mold. God
Bless you. Thank You for supporting Kairos! And have a wonderful week!
Jesus knew that the Father had
given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would
return to God. So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel
around his waist, and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the
disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him.
John 13:3-5 (NLT)

P.S. We are changing the weekly Coupons back to simply
printing them out and bringing them in the Kafe! The other way was confusing to
some people.
