Family, Friends, & Fabulous Food
I love cooking for people. I don’t think there is anything better than when you have people you love around you enjoying a great meal.
My parents hosted a get together for some close family friends who came to visit from PA. Our visitors used to be our neighbors when we lived in PA. When I was a teenager, I babysat their children (2 boys) for spending money in high school (and middle school too I believe). Let me tell you, there is nothing in the world that will make you feel older than seeing someone you used to change diapers for be, I don’t know, give or take, a good FOOT taller than you! AND also being 17 and 14! AHH! Sheesh.
I was able to take a few snapshots of the delicious food that my Mom and I made for our guests. Nothing too exciting and nothing too fancy, but I thought I would post some pictures of the evening. It is always a good time to cook with my Mom…considering she has taught me almost everything I know about cooking, although I am sure if you talk to her she has taught me everything I know about cooking, hehe ;-). I have to say, she is probably one of the most talented bakers I have ever seen. She has her own baking business and does fabulously with it. What can I say? Cooking has always been a big part of my life and I had a great teacher along the way! I intend to keep it that way too 🙂
Enjoy!
Say “hi” Mom!
I used to make these for the boys when they were little. They still enjoy them to this day 🙂
Food and Friends by the pool!

Kim is right – a perfect combo. Isn’t it weird how you feel the same age but these “kids” keep growing and growing?

Oh I know! It is amazing to me that I used to hold those boys when they were little and now they are so much taller than me and getting ready to GO TO COLLEGE! Whew….if that doesn’t make you need a cocktail, I don’t know what does! hehe 😉
