YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY...I picked Basil for Valentine's dinner because I wanted to go someplace different and a good friend told me it was good. Not only was it good, it was PERFECT!! From the atmosphere to the food to the service - IT WAS PERFECT!! I absolutely love Asian food and this was the best I've had. We ordered Crab Wontons and Pan Seared Dumplings as appetizers and Cashew Chicken and Basil's Signature Noodles as our entrees. It was all fabulous. The Dumplings were better than the ones I had in Japan.
The prices were great too. The appetizers were $4 each and the entrees were $9 each. Great pricing for wonderful food, great atmosphere - not real fancy, but really nice - and the service was so good - never had an empty glass and the server was always there when needed, but he didn't "hover" - I hate a hovering server!!
If you haven't gone, go!! I definately give Basil 5 thumbs up!!

A Good Word from a Friend
Bob received this in an email from a friend. I thought it was a great word to share. I am so ready for a change in this nation!!
From Bob's friend Terri C.:
REACHING OUT TO MY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES TO ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING.
OUR NATION IS/HAS BEEN ON THE SLIPPERY SLOPE FOR A LONG TIME. IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU WILL FIND CORRUPTION, GREED, MORAL DECAY AND A STEADY MOVE AWAY FROM THE THINGS THAT MADE US GREAT. THE PRINCIPLES UPON WHICH THIS NATION WAS FOUNDED ARE NO LONGER OUR BACKBONE. HOWEVER, WE CAN REVERSE THIS TREND.
IN GOD'S WORD HE STATES,"IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN AND HEAL THEIR LAND."
For success, we need to apply EACH part of this verse to OURSELVES. HUMBLE (don't fear ridicule of non-believers but OPENLY claim HIM) PRAY....SEEK HIS FACE (in His Word DAILY) TURN FROM WICKED WAYS... includes cheating IRS, gossiping, overeating, wasting time on the job, stretching the truth, failure to witness, sleeping-in Sundays, watching denigrating tv shows, and other socially acceptable sins. Revival must begin in ME!
I AM CONVINCED THAT WE MUST PRAY FOR OUR NATION AND ITS LEADERS AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS. SO I ASK YOU TO JOIN ME IN THIS PLEA TO OUR LORD. WOULD YOU PLEASE SEND THIS TO AT LEAST 25 PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK, (SEND IT TO ALL OF THEM). ASK THEM TO PRAY EVERYDAY. 25 TO THE 5TH POWER IS 9,765,625 PEOPLE. IMAGINE IF EACH PERSON REACHES TEN OTHERS. IF YOU DO AND THEY COMPLY, WE WILL LIFT UP MILLIONS OF PRAYERS A DAY TO OUR CREATOR. HE WILL HEAR US AND IN FAITH HE WILL ANSWER.
