Blue Moon & Pastelón

♫ ♪ Blue...moon...I saw you standing alone....♪ ♪ ♫ Last night we enjoyed the "blue moon" as we put up lights in our yard. I can't wait for Christmas time!

This morning we woke up and had a yummy breakfast (prepared by my mom of course) as well as warm coffee (made by me). Shortly after, my mom started making lunch/dinner. She made something special called "Pastelón". It's a delicious lasagna made with layers of fried plantains, ground beef, green beans and eggs. Here's how it turned out. It was finger lickin' good!

We enjoyed it! And in case you're wondering...there were no leftovers! Hahahaha!

Good night,

Welcome Chicken

To welcome his mother-in-law (who is visiting from a far-away land), my dear husband decided to prepare a whole chicken on the grill!! And it turned out to be a tasty treat! Come to think of it, you could prepare pretty much anything on the grill and it tastes good. I really enjoy food that is prepared that way. It changes the flavor of whatever you are making and gives it a yummy taste. 

It only took him 1.5 hours to cook it! It was totally worth it...

 We had a great dinner celebration with the "welcome chicken", congris (red beans), toasted bread with olive oil (on the grill of course), and the most delicious avocado you can imagine!

Good night everyone,

Teenage Drivers

I was so excited when I first got my driver's license (at the tender age of 16), I never even stopped to consider what it meant for my parents and their insurance policy. Now that I'm the proud parent of a 17 year old, I feel for my parents and what they had to go through to pay for their car insurance! Why does it have to be so expensive?!

Keeping our fingers crossed (which translated means "praying") for a miracle.

Here he is the day he got his learner's permit:

Do you have a teenage driver?
Is there an insurance company that you can recommend?
I'd love to "hear" your comments.

In a bind,
