Pairdiné

A Pairdiné par-din-ay is a gathering of guests to experience either small beer tastings or wine tastings paired with a Chef's accompanying appetizer, amuse-bouche or hors d’oeuvre. The purpose of the pairing is to show off the flavor elements of both the drink and food combined. The term is not French, though it is made to resemble a French word. ‘Pair’ for pairing and dine’ for dining, Pairdine’ is a word coined by restauranteur Shannon S. Wynne in 2014 for his new concept, Bird Café, in Ft. Worth, Texas. Tired of the trend of inviting people to a ‘wine or beer pairing’ he coined the word Pairdiné to save space on the printed table top collateral used in marketing a dinner.

Damn. That Pairdiné perfectly displayed how well that brewer's beer compliments the food of that bad ass chef. I'm so glad I went and feel sorry for people who missed out on this mind-opening experience.

Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)

church hurt

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.

Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
