So aside from being absolutely crushed by Virginia Tech's loss to UNC a moment ago...I have a lunch date to post about...
We went over to my Abuela's - or grandmother for the non-Hispanics - to eat picadillo, which doesn't look appealing but I promise is. If you wanted more proof, it happens to be what the kids requested...
Right about now, I should mention that I'm an idiot for not doing this more often. I imagine most of us have grandmothers like this but all the lady wanted to do was feed us. This was WAY better than eating a peanut butter & jelly or Chef Boyardee...
So I had the daily special (the picadillo) and the soup du jour (I have no clue what this was but it was good...alright, fine, this will reinforce stereotypes but there were red beans in it...happy?)
To top it all off, she had one of those mini Coca-Cola Originals for me (ice cold) and one of her specialty desserts - arroz con leche which, again, tastes better than it looks...
The rest of the time she kept squeezing the kids and asking them how to say words in Spanish while I watched the first half of the Tech game. All in all, this has been a dynamite Friday.
Back in a bit...Owen wants me to draw him a Hokie Bird (as I smile mischievously knowing this is killing their UVA-fan father...) and Ethan wants a drum set because he was incredibly disappointed with how boring and small a harmonica looked when drawn...
