Lotus
The lotus flower grows in muddy water and rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. At night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again. Untouched by the impurity, lotus signifies the purity of [+]heart and mind and its flower represents long life, health, honor and good luck. Traditionally, the lotus flower is often symbolized with 8 petals.

8
The number Eight is an important number in many cultures and religions.

In China, 8 is considered a lucky number because it pronounced similarly to the word “prosperity” (發; fā). The number Eight (八 hachi) is also considered a lucky number in Japanese culture, but the reason is different from that in Chinese culture. 8 gives an idea of growing prosperously, because the character (八) broadens gradually.

In Buddhist tradition, the number Eight means completion. In Taoism, Bagua, an ancient symbol with 8 sides, represents the forces in the phenomenal world. The Egyptians believe that 8 is the number of balance and equilibrium. In Hebrew history, 8 is perfect intelligence. In Hinduism, 8 is the number of wealth and abundance. Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish holiday that starts on the 25th day of Kislev.

It is a mixture of flavors; sweet, sour and spicy, of all the foods of the world, Thai Food is one of the most nourishing and beneficial for the body because it is full of antioxidants.

Skipolini's Pizza 191 Blue Ravine Road, Folsom CA 95630


FROM THE RESTAURANT:

How It All Began

On May 3rd 1974 my mother and father (Bev and Skip Ipsen) opened Skipolini’s Pizza in Clayton California. The first restaurant was once a residence that was later occupied by [+]the Clayton post office and a craft store. My mother and father founded the restaurant on a very simple credo; Provide high quality food in a unique, family friendly environment, at affordable prices. The success of the restaurant over the past three decades has been largely attributed to our steadfast commitment to this business philosophy. As the son of a restaurateur, my second home was in the restaurant. [-]
