Is prepping up 100 lbs of shrimp for shrimp cocktail

Let it/them go in 2009

I heard a great sermon today from TD Jakes I wanted to share an 
excerpt of it with everyone. Very inspirational but, true! 

There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell 
you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. 

I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, 
loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying 
attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. When people can walk away 
from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that 
left. 

The Bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made 
manifest that they were not offor us. For had they been of us, no 
doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19] 

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are 
not joined to you, even if you got super glue you can't make them 
stay. 

Let them go. 

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that 
their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's 
part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the 
dead. 

You've got to know when it's dead. 

You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got 
the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good- 
bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know 
whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes 
too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay. 

Let them go!! 

If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was 
never intended for your life, then you need to . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains . . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your 
worth . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If someone has angered you . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and 
revenge . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or 
addiction . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or 
talents . . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you have a bad attitude . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel 
better . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new 
level in Him . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken 
relationship . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help 
themselves . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you're feeling depressed and stressed . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling 
yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need 
to . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

Let the past be the past Forget the former things. GOD is doing a new 
thing for 2007!!! 

LET IT GO!!! 

Get Right or Get Left. think about it, and then . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!!

Having personally cooked for some of America’s top Athletes, Entertainers and Bishops; to name a few: Devin Harris (New Jersey Nets), Pervis "Never Nervous" Ellison (Retired NBA Player), Jay Anthony Brown (Comedian/radio personality) Mayor Gwendolyn Faison (Mayor/Activist) Phil Hurtt (Songwriter/Arranger/Producer) Billy "Spaceman" Patterson (compuser/musician/actor) Bishop David G. Evans (congregation of 22,000; Bethany Baptist Church), John P Kee (Grammy award winning & Christian Hall of Fame artist), Dr. Noel Jones (congregration of 17,000;Noel Jones Ministries), Pastor Sheryl Brady (The River/Conference Speaker/Recording Artist) Elder Lonnie Hunter (Next Level,GMWA Excellence Award Nominee ),Dr. Jamal Bryant (The Empowerment Temple) Apostle Ron Carpentar (Redemption Out Reach Center) all have taken pleasure in Chef Kahlil's explosive flavorful gourmet cuisine.

Chef Kahlil has been practicing the art of fine food preparation for over two decades. His training began in the late 80's creating some of his family's favorite dishes at home. After working in various restaurants throughout high school, Kahlil decided to "formalize" his training when he pursued a career in the illustrious United States Army. During his tenure in the US Army Kahlil worked his way up the ranks to Sous Chef. Gaining vast experience with various cuisines, Kahlil had the opportunity to work in one of the busiest units at Ft. Bragg that served over 4200 meals per day.

While on tour at Ft. Riley, KS, Kahlil moonlighted as Sous Chef for Clyde's Steakhouse and Italian eatery. Working at Clyde's created Kahlil's strong passion in Italian cuisine. After dedicating nearly six years of service, Kahlil decided to learn about the front of the house so he took on a position as Assistant General Manager at Don Pablo's. After completing his management training at Don Pablo's, Kahlil quickly found his way back to the what he affectionately calls the "heart of the house" in the kitchen! He decided to move from the front of the house into the position of Kitchen Manager to hone his skills with Mexican meals!

Having cooked for many years professionally and for friends and family Kahlil was encouraged to establish a company that has a vision of "Making Your Culinary Wishes a Reality." So in 1999, Chef Kahlil made his start as a personal chef by catering parties for friends, family and colleagues as a way to make extra money. Word quickly spread of his innovative, tasty and soulful dishes, and soon "Catering To Your Whims" was born. Catering To Your Whims... is an extension of Chef Kahlil's creative techniques.

Chef Kahlil is known for taking his passion for using creativity, mixing exotic herbs and seasonings into every meal, and sharing it with others.“ Chef Kahlil's specialties include Classic American, Seafood Entrees, Creole Cuisine and Nouveau Soul food with Caribbean accents.

In 2004, Chef Kahlil was invited to Los Angeles to participate in the Black Cuisine Expo culinary competition that was hosted by Jay Anthony Brown in which won for his famous Sauteed Cajun Crabs.

In 2005, Chef Kahlil cooked for the Pervis Ellison Foundation fundraiser event, in which the proceeds helped at risk youth athletes participate in The Pervis Ellison Basketball clinic.

In 2007, Chef Kahlil was charged with becoming the Executive Chef for Bethany Baptist Church one of the fastest growing ministries on the East Coast (23,000 members) under the leadership of Bishop David G. Evans.

In 2008, Chef Kahlil was brought on board to cook for New Jersey Nets, starting guard Devin Harris.

6 Revealing Secrets All Brides Should Know Before Choosing Their Caterer….

…and what most other caterers refuse to tell you.

Planning for your wedding should be one of the most exciting experiences in your life. Sometimes, the uncertainty of the “How To’s” and the “Where To’s” can be overwhelming and even discouraging. That’s why your caterer should be utilized as your most important resource.

1st: Your caterer should be flexible. All caterers (including hotels) have the ability to be flexible. Don’t let them fool you otherwise. Big Hint: The margins most caterers make on their events allow at least some room for negotiation. If your caterer won’t negotiate, then keep looking! But remember, you have to ask.

2nd: Your caterer should provide a Free consultation and Free tasting. I can’t stress this enough. Make sure there is an opportunity for you to participate in menu development, sample tastings and presentations. Test driving this car is a must!!!

3rd: Good caterers have the ability to provide a dual service as your event coordinator. This is a huge advantage and one your caterer will most likely not voluntarily offer. Your caterer, if experienced, has much of the knowledge and know how to plan and design your even from start to finish. You should be asking them to coordinate ALL aspects of your reception. Tell them it is what you expect from them.

Many caterer’s won’t do if you don’t ask. So Ask! This is a sure fire way of making the most of your catering dollar. Expect to be charged moderately for this service in addition to your catering, but not too much. Usually between $500 and $1000. It is well worth it! There is nothing like being comforted and assured of a stress-free reception. The details are covered and nothing will be left to chance.

4th: Caterers can and should bring it all together for you. This goes hand in hand with even coordinating. You should expect them to be responsible for ordering rentals, staffing, set up, floor plan design, buffet, appetizer, cake and coffee presentation, bar and beverage service, itinerary development and execution, event supervision and clean up.

5th: Your caterer needs to be accessible and available to you. A caterer who is a professional and one who understands the importance of special events like wedding receptions, should also understand that brides are sometimes uncertain about their initial decisions regarding reception site, floor plan, or itinerary. When you caterer serves the dual purpose as your coordinator, they need to remain accessible and available to consult with you and continually re-evaluate the planning phase of your upcoming event. Your piece of mind is too important so be sure to ask about your caterer’s availability.

6th: Most importantly, your caterer should offer you a “Money Back Guarantee”. Why not? You need to be assured that your caterer will not run out of food. Running out of food is the “Cardinal Sin” in catering and you must request this from your caterer. Make sure your caterer guarantees in writing that they will not run out of food for the amount of guests you have paid for. If they do, expect to receive a full refund for your total costs of the food.


These are all very important facts you should know before choosing your caterer. Just read what some of our clients said about Catering To Your Whims catering services….

The ability to work within our budget for our daughters wedding was incredible. His prices were so much lower than the hotels that we just couldn’t pass up his offer. In October 2007, my daughter, our friends and family joined in the celebration of her marriage. The ceremony and reception went off with out a hitch. We were delighted with the mouthwatering food, presentation and serve staff that were provided. I could have not imagined using anyone else but Catering To Your Whims. I highly recommend them.
Houston Family, Lindenwold, NJ

I couldn’t believe the exceptional quality of Catering To Your Whims food at our daughters wedding. It was like he delivered the restaurant to the back door. Chef Kahlil and his staff were professional and right on time. It seemed effortless. I recommend Catering To Your Whims catering for any occasion, especially weddings. They do a fabulous job!
