Response to request from Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Response to Request from Speaker Nancy Pelosi:

September 13th, 2008.

From: Padmini Arhant

Honorable Speaker Nancy Pelosi
House of Congress
United States

Dear Madam Speaker,

Congratulations! on your historic achievement in breaking the “hard glass ceiling” as the “First Female Speaker of the House”, as well as being third in line for the “Office of Presidency of the United States”.

I am honored by your request to assist the “Democratic Party” and the “Presidential Candidate”, Senator Barack Obama in the highly contested “Presidential race 2008”.

Please accept my apologies for the delay in my response.

I am currently dealing with some personal emergency at the home front,

Therefore, unable to make any financial contributions to “DNC” or the “Presidential Campaign” of Senator Barack Obama.

Once the situation is under control, I will do my best to oblige your request in any manner I can.

However, I would like to emphasize that I pledged my support to the people and I remain committed to the democratic values that appears to be dissipating in the current electoral process.

Meanwhile, I wish the Democratic Party represented by you and the “Presidential Candidate”, Senator Barack Obama success in November 2008.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Padmini Arhant

Obama ’08

Obama for America
Padmini —

Volunteer near you In 2000, the entire election came down to a small number of votes in one county in Florida.

Four years later, we came up short by an average of nine voters per precinct in Ohio .

A small change in voter turnout would have made all the difference. Take it from me, elections matter. And this time, supporters like you can make it happen.

I know this might not be possible for everyone, but I’m asking you to consider volunteering anytime between now and Election Day — Tuesday, November 4th.

With so much at stake this year, we can’t miss any opportunity to get more voters to the polls — and make sure their votes are counted.

You have an important role to play in this election. Please sign up to volunteer.

We all watched in the last two presidential elections as the course of our nation was determined by a few thousand votes in key battleground states .

After eight years of failed policies and divisive politics, we can take back the White House and set our nation on the right path.

It’s up to each of us to make sure we turn this movement for change into millions of more votes on Election Day.

Find out how you can make a difference in these last two days, and help support Barack Obama and Joe Biden :

With your help, we can make history — and bring the change we need to our country.

Hon. Former Vice President Al Gore
The United States of America

Dear Mr. Vice President Al Gore,

I am honored to receive your request via above email.

Since, all of my communication with Obama campaign is controlled by "default server" managed by Michelle Obama, I am responding to your email through the blog post.

I hope, you have the opportunity to view this message!

Due to the mandatory role as a "volunteer" all along assigned by Michelle Obama, I was busy promoting the message of equality and fairness and the America that Dr. King had in his dream for our President Elect Barack Obama.

Therefore, I could not reply to your email immediately.

Please accept my apologies and am delighted that all of our efforts and hard work has yielded the desired results for our great nation and the entire world.

As a nation, we have made history and come together in realizing the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Congratulations to yourself, the Democratic Party and once again the President Elect Barack Obama and the Vice President Elect Joe Biden.

Thank you.

Best Regards

Padmini Arhant

Presidential Race 2008 – Grand Finale

November 4, 2008

The Presidential race is finally nearing end with the nation in the process of electing their 44th President of this great country, The United States of America.

The representation of all party candidates is on the ballot and they have all presented their election manifestos to the electorate.

The decision lies in the hands of the voters to make the right choice.

While the entire world’s eyes set on this election due to its significance and the historic nature, the weight of the world indeed, rests on the American electorate.

Therefore, my plea to every citizen fortunate enough to exercise the fundamental right in a democracy is to cast his or her ballot on this Election Day and be part of history.

As stated earlier in my previous blog postings, like all elections, there are relevant differences between the candidacies for the senate, congressional and Presidential race.

It is equally important to pay attention to various “Propositions” presented in lieu of “Referendum” in democratic elections.

Our nation has suffered enormously in the past eight years.

The wound is fresh and requires time for the healing process.

The only way to expedite recovery is by making the right choices in all of the above races.

As much as I would like to remain bipartisan on this day in terms of encouraging all citizens to vote for their respective candidates and issues, I am also obligated to guide the nation in the right direction of peace, progress and prosperity for all.

It is my honorable duty and specific purpose of this life to fulfill the responsibilities towards not only the citizens of the United States but the entire world.

With all due respect, to the Republican Party candidates Senator John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin and all other third party candidates listed in the http://www.politics1.com/p2008.htm, I appreciate their interests and patriotism to serve this great nation.

However, when compared to the specifics of the policies,

And the real possibility of achieving the goals to uplift our nation from all of the crises,

The Democratic candidacy represented by Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden seems far more realistic and attainable.

Therefore, I urge the electorate to cast their ballot for Obama/Biden candidacy that is not only hopeful but also seriously committed to this country and the entire world in great many respects.

I take this opportunity and wish all the candidates in the Republican and the third party my very best wishes on this Election Day.

It is important for the voters to realize that our nation has to climb a steep hill with enormous burden of debt and many crises on our back.

There is no time to rest and pause but only to reflect on the failures of the current administration and restrain from re-election of the choice resembling and representing the present government.

The electoral process should not be wasted or gambled away for trial and error as in the past i.e. 2000 and 2004.

Unfortunately, the stakes are too high and there is no time or space to maneuver once decided on this date, with another opportunity becoming available only in four years time.

The Obama/Biden candidacy focused on resolving issues with clear solutions and sincere commitment is the right choice for the country experiencing the most difficult economic times, social, political, environmental problems in the national and international fronts.

Both Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden offer dynamic leadership brimming with confidence, determination, zeal, enthusiasm, honesty, integrity and above all sound strategies for the present national and international situations.

The term “change” has been the theme of the Presidential race.

In all fairness and propriety, the actual agent who initiated and overwhelmingly enforced this message of “Change” is none other than, the Senator from the State of Illinois, Senator Barack Obama.

In fact, Senator Barack Obama truly believed in his heart that the country desperately needed to change its course and felt the urgency to implement the method in this election.

Undoubtedly, all candidates worked hard tirelessly in this campaign and dealt with compliments and criticisms alike from all sides.

Senator Barack Obama introduced new mechanism and demeanor in this political campaign.

For most part, Senator Obama had to fight tenacious battles to reach the finish line during the Democratic Primary election and then in the general election as well.

Senator Barack Obama displayed a decorum seen unlike before.

Throughout the decision making process in this election, Senator Barack Obama has come across as a leader with an ability to sail through rough seas with a calm composure and reliable in reaching the shore safely.

Despite several negative attacks, innuendoes, divisive politics, Senator Barack Obama maintained an impressive personality to accept not only his own mistakes but also others as part of human nature.

As stated earlier, being infallible is not in human condition.

Senator Obama and Senator Biden, despite the unfortunate Gaffes proved their ability to rise to the occasion and demonstrate leadership qualities essential to lead the nation in the right direction.

The reason behind our current national status is due to the lack of strong leadership in dealing with any challenges and crisis.

Placing emphasis on these characteristics is all-important when choosing a leader of a powerful nation that has the responsibility to lead the entire world.

The United States of America is on its knees with insurmountable debt, tarnished image and severe credibility crisis.

The current administration’s reckless policies and lack of chivalry in the governance of the democratic nation is responsible for the present status.

None of us can afford to let the nation sink in the treacherous sea of debt and destruction through on-going wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It takes a nation to elect a leader, the President of the United States, the “Superpower” now and in the future.

I urge every citizen from all the great states of The United States:

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Please come forward,

Rescue our great country from the current turmoil and distress,

By electing the candidate Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden to the office of the President and Vice President of the United States,

Grant them a landslide victory in the 2008 Presidential race, and create history.

If you are tired of being bogged down in poverty,

Or

Living paycheck-to-paycheck and simply struggling to meet ends as well as,

All those tired of the greatness of this great nation diminished to rock bottom in the past eight years, the opportunity is for you to act now and change the direction towards peace, progress and prosperity for all.

The Obama/Biden candidacy is the only ideal choice to lead the nation and restore everything lost in the past eight years under the most incompetent and immoral administration.

It is our responsibility as citizens to come together as one nation and elect the leader and the future President and Vice President of the United States, Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden on this Election Day, November 4, 2008.

Future President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden represent the hope and change for millions in this nation and around the world.

The United States of America is the beacon of bright light now and in the future and the Barack Obama Presidency will surely keep this promise.

Let us all come together in realizing the dream of our great national hero, civil right leader and icon of peace the honorable, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Finally, Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden, I wish you all the best and success with the outcome of the Presidential election on this date, November 4, 2008.

Thank you.

Presidential Scam – Who is Michelle Obama?

November 2, 2008

Fool me once shame on you! Fool me twice shame on me!

I address this message directly to you, Michelle Obama.

It is about time you came out clean and honest to the American electorate and me.

There is plenty to expose the truth about you and your Personal agenda –

“Empower yourself and enslave the rest.”

The election is not over yet.

You are acting and behaving as though the game is over.

I am not going to beat around the bush as I have not earned the title as a “Straight Shooter” for nothing.

The honorable and icon of peace Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. will be turning in his grave to note the despicable conduct by you.

Dr. King certainly had a dream and that was not to use and abuse others to achieve your whims and fantasies in your life.

Dr. King’s dream was to unite and not divide this nation, contrary to your real motives.

These statements are testaments and not allegations.

Every piece of evidence is available to prove your real intention and notion for the people and this country, which is unfortunately neither pretty nor pleasant.

The world does not know about the dark side of your personality.

However, they will know now.

Your connivance and manipulation by using and abusing virtuous individuals as your assault weapon against Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to eliminate her out of your path during the Democratic Primary election, including the choice for Vice Presidential candidate of the Democratic Party… is reprehensible.

You also noted in your email, that you do not require the former “President Bill Clinton” on the campaign trail during the general election.

The reason being, you are carrying immense bitterness and remorse of history with a strong vendetta.

Even though, whatever you are today is because of the tremendous progress made by this great nation, which, you have failed to acknowledge up until recently.

The progress, though not perfect but still admirable was possible due to sacrifices by a great leader like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, and courageous former Presidents like Lyndon B. Johnson and John F. Kennedy.

You denied of any involvement in the campaign decisions to the media and public.

In fact, you are the decision maker and the candidate Barack Obama is merely a puppet figure.

The country had already witnessed your true sentiments – Thanks to technology like You-Tube.

“For the first time in my adult life time, I am really proud of this country.”

Why?

Because you realize that, you are within grasp of the mantle of power to use and abuse others.

Your ultimatum to the American public, also quoted by the HBO television host, Bill Maher during his appearance on Larry King Live in late January 2008:

“You better get off the fence and vote for Obama, for you will not be given a second chance.”

Asserting a “Sense of entitlement” – Also available on You-Tube.

In fact, you were seeking the vote for your authority rather than for the candidate.

Your thesis at Princeton – Please refer to post script.

Available all over the cyberspace, not vigorously discussed because you control the media.

How?

Your preconditions on treatment and choice of questions prior to the appearance in the ABC television show “The View”, widely televised across the nation deserves attention as it highlights the truth about your persona.

Nevertheless, when Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the only opponent in that team let the cat out of the bag during her personal appearances on the republican campaign trail, the media under your supervision shot it down.

In addition, forcing your spouse and the Presidential candidate Barack Obama, by scheduling an interview with the targeted network and making him warn the critics and others to layoff, so that you can continue your charade behind the scenes.

You may control the media.

Fortunately, you will never be able to control the “virtual world”, your nemesis, the Information Superhighway.

Normally, people attend “Churches, Temples and Synagogues” for soul searching, peace and solace.

In your case, there is evidence that your attendance was for pure entertainment of USA bashing at the Church by the controversial “Rev. Jeremiah Wright.”

Suppression of facts and evidence –

Last but not the least,

The Controversial “Whitey” video sure exists –It is not out in the open because it is in your possession.

I do not wish to exhaust my visitors with any more explosive facts about you.

My personal experience with you, thus far has been nothing but regrettable.

Your personal email to me titled “Can’t wait to see you there”, a ploy in the form of invitation to attend your boring and megalomaniacal rally in San Jose, CA,

Only to discover the ugly motive behind that invitation was to ridicule me in public especially on the day of mysterious withdrawal by Senator John Edwards from the Presidential race.

The reason behind Senator John Edwards’s withdrawal may be a well kept secret then,

However, it was not a coincidence that it happened the morning after I published my blog post “Default Nominee” on January 29, 2008, at 11.48 p.m EST, to save the Democratic Party from an awkward dilemma if Senator John Edwards would have been the nominee.

It did not end there.

You continually target me for your dark political aspirations.

Earlier on, reference “Ethical View” , wwww.padminiarhant.com,

When I was conned to donate to your campaign on the pretext of dinner invitation, which never materialized.

Now, the personal invitation by Senator Barack Obama to join him on the election night has once again fueled your insecurity and you could not resist playing the same old tricks of collecting my donation and replying with a “cacophony” message from personally controlled default server.

You may consider this as your victory.

What you fail to understand is, your deception will be the cause of your downfall.

It is no secret that you rejoice belittling your spouse and the father of your children in public.

Senator Barack Obama even confirmed the fact during the recent Presidential debate moderated by Mr. Tom Brokaw.

Interestingly, your deceitful action has elevated Senator John McCain, the opponent of your dreams , a much better individual than yourself, because even if it is for a political reason “Joe the Plumber” is a national hero for asking a simple question on income redistribution.

Whereas, you could not remember my contact details during your gala celebration in August 2008.

Somehow, miraculously you discovered my existence especially in the past few weeks with your constant harassment via email and mail demanding that I get involved in the campaign as a “volunteer” and not as a paid worker.

Even though, the Obama campaign treasury is enviable as compared to their opponent.

The interesting scenario is, you never declined the unprecedented “pay” raise offered by the University of Chicago not on meritocracy,

However, for the virtue of being the spouse of state and then U.S Senator Barack Obama and your remarkable achievement in driving away poor and predominantly African American patients to fend for themselves.

Despite such background including the absence of any verifiable humanitarian record, your audacity to insist that others “volunteer” for your political gains is truly amazing.

Notwithstanding, the innuendoes and intimidation through powerful contacts so that you can achieve your narcissistic goals.

Further, you also dictated that Senator Barack Obama should never publicly acknowledge my contributions to the success of his campaign.

While, lavishly using my thoughts and ideas to promote the campaign.

If this is not to empower some and enslave the other, what else could it be?

Is it not the kind of “change” in order under your supremacy?

Politics is a dangerous game. You are in no way a “novice.”

You are remarkable at throwing anybody in your path to your destination under the bus, including your mentor, “spiritual guru”,and once a close family friend, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

The other important factor in this historic race is, the Presidential Candidate Barack Obama is not exclusively an African American candidate.

That’s why, if memory serves he had to struggle initially to gain the whole hearted endorsement from the African American population for he was considered not “Black” enough.

A rhetoric used by none other than Michelle Obama during her political rally in San Jose, CA.

The Senator is also biologically and scientifically half “Caucasian” or “Anglo Saxon.”

It is tragic to note that this element is not interpreted forcefully as the mother, Stanley Anne Durham, who carried him in her womb for nine long months and raised him during the pivotal period of his childhood is eliminated from the genetic code.

It is being debated whether or not middle America will conform to the rest of America in this election.

What is forgotten?

It was, the predominantly “White” electorate in Iowa that conveyed the strong message of unity and set the stage for real “transformation” in America.

___________________________________________

Senator Barack Obama – Here is a fair question for you.

If you can’t stand up to your controlling and domineering wife Michelle Obama, how are you going to defend this nation against Al Qaida and others?
________________________________________________
Michelle Obama, this is democracy and not “Aristocracy,”

With the divine intervention in force, (Is it not the reason for your harassment to seek my endorsement?)

You may be successful in the assassination of character but not “Truth”.

You are challenging destiny.

Try however you may, you will never succeed in your endeavors.

The end justifies the means. That is Karma.

Thank you.

____________________________________
Some more facts to enlighten you about yourself by the concerned voters: Please refer to the “Post Script.”

P.S. Extracts from various websites – Sodahead.com, Rock the Truth and many others.

“Michelle Obama is a living witness.

Her February 18 comment that she felt proud of her country for the first time caused a minor scandal, and was hastily qualified. But she meant it, and more.

The video footage of her remarks shows eyes hooded with rage as she declares:

“For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country.”

The desperation, frustration and disappointment visible on Michelle Obama’s face are not new to the candidate’s wife; as Steve Sailer, Rod Dreher and other commentators have noted, they were the theme of her undergraduate thesis, on the subject of “blackness” at Princeton University.

No matter what the good intentions of Princeton, which founded her fortunes as a well-paid corporate lawyer, she wrote,

“My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‘Blackness’ than ever before.

I have found that at Princeton no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my White professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong.”

Never underestimate the influence of a wife who bitch-slaps her husband in public.

Early in Obama’s campaign, Michelle Obama could not restrain herself from belittling the senator.

“I have some difficulty reconciling the two images I have of Barack Obama.

There’s Barack Obama the phenomenon. He’s an amazing orator, Harvard Law Review, or whatever it was, law professor, best-selling author, Grammy winner. Pretty amazing, right?

And then there’s the Barack Obama that lives with me in my house, and that guy’s a little less impressive,” she told a fundraiser in February 2007.

“For some reason this guy still can’t manage to put the butter up when he makes toast, secure the bread so that it doesn’t get stale, and his five-year-old is still better at making the bed than he is.” New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd reported at the time,

“She added that the TV version of Barack Obama sounded really interesting and that she’d like to meet him sometime.” Her handlers have convinced her to be more tactful since then.

There is more:

Michelle Obama, Wildly Successful but not good enough

Princeton, Harvard …. the highest standard of living for African Americans anywhere in the world, and it’s not good enough.

Apparently she “found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me,

I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus”.

Someone ought to tell her, everyone feels alienated, a “visitor”.

It’s part of the human condition.

The answer is not further alienation and separatism, but inclusion.

Fighting for rational self interest is the answer not “victimization”.

It certainly does not bode well for American leadership.

There is something terribly wrong with this thinking.

Love America baby, don’t blame America. Great Clarence Thomas, Michael Steele …. these are Black leadership role models.

——————————–

Michelle Obama thesis was on racial divide Politico hat tip Larwyn:

Michelle Obama’s senior year thesis at Princeton University, obtained from the campaign by Politico, shows a document written by a young woman grappling with a society in which a black Princeton alumnus might only be allowed to remain “on the periphery.”

Read the full thesis here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.

“My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‘blackness’ than ever before,”

the future Mrs. Obama wrote in her thesis introduction.

“I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me,

I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong.

Regardless of the circumstances underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second.”

The thesis, titled “Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community” and written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson, in 1985, has been the subject of much conjecture on the blogosphere and elsewhere in recent weeks, as it has been “temporarily withdrawn” from Princeton’s library until after this year’s presidential election in November.

Some of the material has been written about previously, however, including a story last year in the Newark Star Ledger.

Obama writes that the path she chose by attending Princeton would likely lead to her “further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant.”

———————————————

More grievances from the concerned voters:

Voters Comments: Sodahead.com and live chats in the cyberspace.

Latest from Socialist MO…

“Don’t go into corporate America.

You know, become teachers.

Work for the community.

Be social workers.

Be a nurse.

Those are the careers that we need, and we’re encouraging our young people to do that.

But if you make that choice, as we did, to move out of the money-making industry into the helping industry, then your salaries respond.”

Faced with that reality, she adds, “many of our bright stars are going into corporate law or hedge-fund management.”

What she doesn’t mention is that the helping industry has treated her pretty well.

In 2006, the Chicago Tribune reported that Mrs. Obama’s compensation at the University of Chicago Hospital, where she is a vice president for community affairs, jumped from $121,910 in 2004, just before her husband was elected to the Senate, to $316,962 in 2005, just after he took office.

And that does not count the money Mrs. Obama receives from serving on corporate boards.

She would have been O.K. even without Jack’s magic beans.

Mrs. Obama also bemoaned the amount of money she has to spend — nearly one-third of the median household income in Zanesville — on piano, dance, and other lessons for her two children.

It would be insane to exclude the personal trainer that maintains MO’s “vital statistics” with a wakeup call at 4.00a.m.

She can surely relate to middle class and lower income population in this country.

She is a hypocrite.

She worked for an at profit hospital which actually charged more for the poor than those with coverage , etc.

And she was, maybe still is, on the Board of Directors of Tree House Foods whose CEO made 26milllion while it employs Latinos at low wages and no benefits and that company makes less profit than WalMart which Barrack attacks for it’s labor policy and it’s CEO who made 10.5 million.

And you know about her other blunders about first time she is proud to be an American etc. 3/17 addendum

Michelle Obama’s statement becomes crystal clear in view of recent news about the anti-white,

anti-American sermons preached by Rev Wright, at TUCC, which she attended for some 20 years.

How could she attend this church and be close friends with RevWright and not know what his beliefs are.”

Culinary Delight

November 2, 2008

Throughout my life, I’ve had the opportunity to dine on several different types of cuisines from all around the world.

I’ve dined everywhere from modern Manhattan, to native India, to searing hot Venice, and even Australia!

And although I’ve eaten around the world, I have to say my favorite dishes are served right here in San Jose.

The dish I absolutely relish the most is ‘Sweet and Sour Chicken’ from P.F. Chang’s.

The chicken is perfectly cooked, tender and juicy at first bite.

The vegetables are perfectly sautéed to be crisp, but not burnt.

The most tantalizing aspect of the dish, however, is the sauce.

This succulent sweet and sour sauce is a wondrous journey for your taste buds, harnessing the perfect combination of sweet and sour flavors, with a tangy after-taste that will leave you craving more.

This is, without a doubt, my favorite dish in the entire world.

However, no region is without its culinary delights.

One dish that is etched firmly into my mind is Chicago-style pizza.

Despite most of my favorite foods being served in San Jose, this one is an original, found only in the ‘Windy City’.

More resembling a cake than a pizza, this five inch deep gargantuan entrée will not spare your tongue, or your stomach.

With over four inches of pure cheese, one slice of this dough-based monster would barely fit in my mouth.

The toppings, although present, are more like tiny sailors drowning in a sea of cheese.

Barely visible from the exterior of the pizza, one must take a ‘Herculean’ bite to discover their topping of choice hidden within the flowing interior.

Despite its massive size, this is a dish I highly recommend to any food connoisseur, pizza-lover, or anyone who eats, in general.

Another example of an excellent dish is a Greek entrée known as a ‘Gyro’. Pronounced ‘hee-ROH’, this Grecian wrap is typically served with a delectable yogurt sauce called ‘Tzatziki’.

Resembling a burrito, the dish is a simple combination of strips of beef, spinach leaves, diced tomatoes, and tiny cubes of potatoes;

All of which are wrapped in a slice of pita bread. However, each ingredient has a unique method of preparation, and, when combined, resonates with the appeal and harmony of an orchestra in full swing.

The outermost portion, the pita bread, is lightly toasted in a brick oven, and smothered with butter when warm.

The butter melts flawlessly onto the bread, giving it a soft, pleasing texture on the inside; and a coarse, rough outer texture.

The leaves of spinach are bathed in a seasoned vegetable oil, and then dried in such a way that the leaf can soak up the oil and provide an equal taste with every bite.

The tomatoes are carefully diced and peppered, similar to salsa, but with a Grecian twist.

The most savory aspect, however, is the meat.

Each strip is individually cut and marinated, giving every bite an exquisite taste. When put together, the Gyro becomes a delectable and mouthwatering dish, capable of attracting even the most finicky eaters.

Although I have only described two of my favorite dishes, the world is full of other tantalizing courses just waiting to be discovered. Who knows, I might even be the one to formulate the next one!

Thank you.
