South Florida woman is re-examining her faith. She was in the kitchen cooking a family favorite when letters appeared on the salami in her frying pan. The letters spelled out the word GOD.
"Welcome to the blessed house," said Nancy Simoes, as she allowed
CBS4 cameras and
Jorge Estevez into her home in Southwest Miami Dade.
We witnessed the letters G.O.D. spelled out on three slices of fried salami. Simoes had placed the pieces of Salami on a plate on the table for our cameras to videotape.
"This is the first time we are looking at it, and you can definitely make out the letters," said
CBS4's Jorge Estevez, as he looked at the slices of fried Salami.
"I had only three pieces in my skillet, and then as I was flipping it. The first letter was a G, a perfect G; and then I got the O, and I thought to myself, how cool will it be if the third letter was a D," said Simoes.
That third letter was a D, and everyone was in shock in her house.
"You realize people could think you are making this up," asked CBS4's Jorge Estevez to Simoes. "I can't make this up. You see it. It's there you can see burn marks," said Simoes as she pointed at the plate of sliced Salami. Nancy immediately called her friends.
"I totally believe her 100 percent," said one neighbor. "Me too," said another. For twenty years this South Florida family has fried salami as a breakfast meat. "We ended up all liking it. We just do it. No words come out. No letters. No circles. It's just fried salami," said Natasha Batista, who is the daughter of Simoes.
But whether this is a wake-up call remains to be seen.
"I am Catholic. I believe in God, but I don't practice it. I don't go to church all the time, but I do believe, I do believe there is something out there," said Simoes. Now her biggest issue is deciding how to preserve the Fried Salami.
There is always EBAY of course.
