Back for more!

Kathy,
I'm dying to know, what do the smiley and frowney faces at the bottom of the recipe denote? In all seriousness though, it sounds like a great recipe, the yogurt addition sounds good!  Although, our November is becoming a little like July at your house.  We are caked-out and here comes Christmas...oh boy.

I hope you are able to post some pictures of the birthday bash that we missed Jennifer (and am still guilted and bummed about doing so!)  What a great Thanksgiving it was, and thank you for hosting all of us!  We seem to avoid day-time vomiting, Kathy, but trade it for night-time vomiting from Joey's coughing episodes.  While we initially doubted our decision to head home early, being able to address the issue with a washing machine close-by was a good thing.  Hope we made it out with all of our germs.  

I tried to absorb some tips from your mom on Adobo making, Jennifer.  I think I've got the prep down, but am guessing there are some important secrets in the cooking process as well.  Tried to emulate her salmon, but used Parsley instead.  She would probably find some humor in my Americanized attempts!  :-) You have great folks and we enjoyed visiting with them again.

Hope your weeks go well, ladies.  Can it be 3 weeks until Christmas?  Ah!

Love,
Ann Marie

  1. Ann Marie, I think you are supposed to put a check at the bottom whether or not your "baby" liked the recipe. :) Obviously I did not do that! (And of course, they assume that you only have one!!)

    I would also really love to learn some cooking techniques from Jennifer's Mom! How did your salmon turn out?

    I hope you are all healthy now. I hesitate to say anything about us, but I AM cooking dinner tonight, so that should tell you something . . .
