BREAKFAST

TODAYS ITS FROM

SHARI'S RESTAURANT
1947 Dell Range Blvd, Cheyenne, WY

Create your own Cinnama-sation
The sweet smell of baking with cinnamon drove our chefs to
create yet another Shari's Original. We hand-cut our
fresh baked cinnamon rolls daily to create this
specialty dish. Each cinnamon slice gets dipped in egg
batter and griddled to golden perfection. While warm,
they're drizzled with caramel sauce, pecans and whipped cream.

Platter Style - Two eggs*, hashbrowns, and your choice of four sausage links or smoked bacon strips.
Breakfast Style - Two eggs*, sausage and bacon strips.
Cinnama-sation French Toast

Specialties

Breakfast Panini

egg, cheese and tomato. Served with a cup of fruit.

Traditional Eggs Benedict
An enduring breakfast tradition - two English muffins,
topped with poached eggs*, ham and lemony hollandaise.
Served with hashbrowns or fruit.

Deli Style Pastrami Hash
A traditional breakfast hash recipe with a modern twist - a
blend of Deli-Style peppered Pastrami, premium Yukon
Gold potatoes and roasted peppers. Served with
two eggs, fresh fruit and toast

Classic Quiche Breakfast
A slice of Classic Quiche freshly made by Shari's bakers,
drizzled with hollandaise sauce, served with
fresh fruit and a toasted English muffin.

Western Scramble
This scramble gets its great taste from smoked bacon, two
farm fresh eggs, cheddar, diced tomatoes, green
onions and a dollop of sour cream. Served with crispy
hashbrowns and toast.

Meat Lovers Skillet
As good as it gets! A warm skillet with smoked bacon,
country ham and sausage on top of Shari's golden
hashbrowns stacked with peppers, onions and cheddar.
Topped with two eggs the way you like them. Choice of
pancakes, French toast or toast.

Stuffed Hashbrown Platters
Exclusively at Shari's! These golden crispy treats, a
Shari's original, were invented in our kitchen and our
guests have been hooked ever since. They're stuffed

Creation: NT Style
September 28, 2010

When we think about the marvel of creation—how God spoke the universe into existence and formed the earth and everything in it—we think most often of Old Testament accounts.

But it is encouraging to examine the New Testament to see how that part of the Bible refers to creation. Here is a look at some key passages:

“I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world” (Matt. 13:35). God reveals things to us that He had kept secret since before creation.

“Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” (Matt. 25:34). Before the earth was created, God knew each of us—and He knew our future.

“He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world” (Eph. 1:4). Before the work of creation even began, God was aware of each of His eventual children.

These New Testament verses comfort us with the truth that God’s knowledge of us and His eternal mysteries about us point toward His special creation of mankind as described in Genesis. We can do nothing but bow in awe before One whose knowledge and creative ability are eternal in nature and boundless in power. Creation: New Testament style—still another reason to give God praise!

O Lord, how manifold the work
In wisdom wrought by Thee;
The wealth of Thy creative skill
Fills earth and mighty sea. —Anon.

Each person is a unique expression of God’s loving design.

Read: Ephesians 1:3-6

He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world. —Ephesians 1:4

Bible in a year:
Isaiah 5-6; Ephesians 1

Yorkie, I loved that Marine singing at The Tea Party! I've seen that before and always tear up!

I spent ALL of yesterday in the ER being tested for a heart attack!
Can you believe it? The hottest day on record in Los Angeles,113 Civic Center, and 116 here in Eagle Rock, and I get to lay in a air conditioned bed! lol
Ended up I have what is called Costochondritis, which is inflammation of the rib cage! This fakes a heart attack. Sure faked me out!!
A huge shot later, I am feeling better. Happy Tuesday! Polly

Romans 1:19-22 (King James Version)

19.Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20.For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21.Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22.Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,”
__________________________________________________________

2 Peter 3:4 (King James Version)

“4.And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

Romans 8:22-25 (King James Version)

..’ 22.For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

23.And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

24.For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

25.But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.”

Acts 17:28 (King James Version)

“28.For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.”

“come thou fount of every blessing
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
By: Robert Robinson, 1735-90
Come, Thou fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
While the hope of endless glory
Fills my heart with joy and love,
Teach me ever to adore Thee;
May I still Thy goodness prove.
