You've absolutely got that right!!!
Nope. Too sweet.Does he respond well to baklava baiting?
Nope. Too sweet.
He liked kourabiedes though (but he knocks off the sugar). He can be tempted by roast lamb though, and folks in our parish cook some of the best fish I've ever had.
He won't come to big dinners (he came to Pascha only the first year) because he says he doesn't want anyone to think he's only there for the food. And I usually bring him home stuff - they often send me with boxes for either him or for me. Last Pascha there wasn't so much lamb and he didn't get any. Maybe I need to stop giving him freebies and insist he come to get it!
I dangle it out there sometimes ...We had lamb at our Petrovdan slava yesterday. Let me amend that---"everyone but gurney" had lamb LOL....Actually my wife and kids didn't either. Eck. But if it brings him to the church, play the lamb angle....hard!
As he never mentioned the orthodox church you will have to forgive me as I am not very good at reading between the lines.This is an inappropriate and unhelpful comment. You are in the Orthodox forum and he's asking specifically about the Orthodox Church.

You don't have to apologize to me.
It is usually taken that when you're in a specific forum that someone is talkibg about that specific group. It is easy to lose track of where you are.

Only if you've been to the wrong churches
It's TuesdayYes, that is a fact for me. Being old and realising the older I get the better I was, I lose track of which day it is.
Oh, it is? Sorry, I'm on vacation. The days blur...
Are you as bored as I am? I've gained weight and I'm about to lose my mind. I'm ready to get some math on a whiteboard.
