International Graduate Student Ministry – Gracepoint Berkeley
love locally, impact globally
The IGSM Girls & Garlic: A Match Made in Gilroy… Ten of us drove down to Gilroy, CA to attend the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival. We sampled a ton of yummy food, including such items as garlic ice cream (quite edible) and garlic kettle corn (sweet crunchiness with a zing!). You can probably tell which of us went by our sun tan and garlic breath!
International Graduate Student Ministry (IGSM) is an official graduate student group at UC Berkeley. IGSM started in the fall of 2003 with the vision to help all UC Berkeley graduate students from various countries (including students from the United States) find out the true meaning and purpose of their lives through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many of us also attend Gracepoint Berkeley, where Pastor Ed and Kelly Kang lead the ministry.
No events.
You guys seemed to have a lot of fun!
Are we eating for living or living for eating?
Sometimes I wonder….
i wonder if that place is really stinky with garlic smell. the foster farm chicken is really funny and reflective of the event because people will probably look like that if all they do in the festival is eating.
mm, the popcorn you brought back was good.
I was also struck by the floating chickens. When we were first approaching the festival grounds, we were sure that the floating white specks in the sky were garlic-shaped balloons. Then we realized later that they were big, fat chickens…
Thanks for a great time, everyone! Let’s hit Palace Buffet together sometime =)
As per Wesley’s comment, the sisters kindly brought back some garlic flavored popcorn. It was good, and quite potent. In fact, I think I’m still tasting garlic on everything I eat, including my coffee.
Believe it or not… the garlic flavored popcorn was nothing compare to the garlic fries we had! After eating the fries, you really couldn’t taste the garlic flavor in the popcorn at all! I could taste the garlic in my mouth even till the next morning… seriously I thought that people could smell us at the home worship service!
