Food, glorious food!
This past week I purchased some Cherries. They were 1/2 off, so I could splurge on them. I tell you, if I lost my job, I bet I could make some good money picking cherries - they're regularly like $8 per pound. I haven't had cherries since we used to pick them while riding the swings at Grandma & Grandpa's house. There's something about a fresh cherry's flavor that is never matched elsewhere.
We also had my hometeachees over for dinner on Memorial Day. I made Manicotti. It's not your traditional Memorial Day meal, but it works. I did something I've never done before with it. I put two on each plate, sprinkled them with real Parmesan cheese, and put a spring of parsley on top. It made it look all gourmet. I was impressed with myself. Erica was impressed too, so I was that much more impressed with myself.
Erica's latest favorite food has been Ramen noodles. I feel bad for her.
Food's good.

Chad, what inspired you to have hometeacher over for dinner on memorial day? THat is certainly not something you learned growing up...
Fresh Parmesan cheese on anything is great! One of those Heavenly foods! If you like Magleby's breadsticks, then try this. Rhoades dinner rolls. Melt butter and add a little garlic salt. Shape the dough (when thawed) into breadsticks..roll in the butter, and then in fresh parmesan cheese. Let them rise and bake. NUMMY! (I usually put a little more of the grated cheese on top of the rolls)
Good for you for taking over kitchen-responsibility for a while. Erica certainly isn't faking it to get out of work! Poor thing!
We love having people over for dinner and do it frequently. We've found that we make alot of good friends that way (the type who are more than willing to help out when we need favors).
Maybe some of you will have better luck than I.
