Heidi, come over!! I need you to help me with the name and Mickey head.

Hello everyone. Barb, come out, come out!!

Denine, glad you got the picture ok. Maybe when Heidi comes over I will have her post it here so everyone can see all of us on formal night.

Julie, you talking about school parties and all made me miss MY little girls. Whaaaaa, where did the time go? Heidi and I were just talking about a party we threw for them in our house. Memories!

Julie, I will give Ted that big hug and kiss from you. At this point, he needs all that he can get. Of course, then there is Bonnie grabbing at his knee whenever I wasn't looking.

I am running late today so better go cook dinner.

Well I finally met Chris's mom last night. She was nice and very easy to talk to. All you need to do it bring up DCL and she will go for hours talking about it!!!! She cooked REAL Cuban food for us. Very interesting and good. She loves to cook so she is planning out all these meals...some meals I may have to really pretend to like and suck it up, but we will see!!!!! I now know the basic ingredients of all Cuban dishes is olive oil, vinegar, green peppers, onions, and garlic!!!! She made Cuban potato salad with layered potatoes, onions, egss, vinegar, and olive oil. I was pleasantly suprised. She also made Palamia to go with it but I have had that several times because Chris makes it for me and I LOVE it!!!

Tonight she is going to Chris's ex-wife's house to spend more time with the girls, but before she goes she is making a Cuban pork roast today so we can have it for dinner. I guess somehow it is cooked with of course Vinegar...should be interesting. Mom - I will bring some over for you to eat tonight if you don't want to make dinner. Otherwise if you are still making the soup, I will eat a little of the roast (since I don't really like roast) and a lot of the soup!!! Your call, let me know!!!

Good morning, glad it worked out with Fran, Heidi. All the food sounds yummy. I bet Chris is so excited to eat his mom's food. It is a far cry from mine and yours that is for sure. I am going to make the Tex Mex soup no matter what so you do what you want. I am also making homemade rolls.
