I pulled an all-nighter working on a book so when the sun came up, Mike had already gone to work and I was on my third cup of coffee. Mom surprised me by going into the kitchen, grabbing a cup of coffee and joining me the living room (she usually sleeps in). We watched a little t.v. and then started talking about all sorts of stuff. She said she had a dream of a recipe I shared with her and she woke up craving it! (Shrimp with Lime). We decided we were going to make it sometime this week once we found out what lime "zest" was...I'm not a foodie so didn't know what it was - thank goodness for Google! We then got into a conversation about Thanksgiving ... cook here or go out. Guess we'll decide by this weekend...We both agreed it would be easier to go out but then we wouldn't have all those wonderful leftovers and I so much love her cranberry salad and relish. Decisions, Decisions.
We went through some pictures on my laptop - I have all sorts of albums saved. She enjoyed going through the slides I converted over to jpeg, especially those from Morocco.
Here's one of those pictures:
