soooooooooooooo much going on...hardly anytime to write...but i feel i gotta say something...
so...here it is...spent the morning making empanada's with my mom...being the sweetheart she is...she helped me...i want to bring them to a christmas potluck tonite...thankfully we made extra for her & dad to have as well...
my mom & i have always laughed when cooking together...especially when it comes to something like empanada's...because you can always tell hers from mine...basically hers are wrapped perfectly...pinched properly...loaded up evenly...they all look the same...mine...well...not so much...
so she would tease me...how she could tell hers from mine...no kidding mom...i can too!
but this morning...she paid me the highest compliment...half-way through she looked at the ones that were done and said..."i can't tell which are yours and which are mine"
wow! i have arrived...i now make empanada's that look like my mamacita's...that is pretty huge...for me...
and as always...the time spent together was glorious...mom & i making empanada's...dad telling us stories...nothing better than these wonderful memories made...over a kitchen table...sipping coffee...laughing...
what a great start to the week... 8-)
hope your holiday preparations are not leaving you too stressed...remember to not get so overwhelmed with the doing...that you forget to focus on what the season is truly about!
