"Manje Lakay"
Tonight I made a Haitian dinner for my family and I must say that my rice was perfect. The key is to use dry beans, the canned ones don't give the real flavor. I made plantains too, yummy, and avacodo. Maybe some of you aren't salivating as you read this, but that is because your taste buds just don't know. Well, I painted an awful lot of trim today and Josh fixed the bedroom floors, so if I can finish the trim tomorrow hopefully we can hang it and get these kids upstairs. My exciting thing this week is that my friend Lisa is coming over tomorrow and She will watch Anne of Green Gables for the first time! It is so exciting. I wish I could watch it for the first time again. Also I have to comment on my big survivor let down. I was really rooting for Terry. I was very dissapointed he didn't win, bt I will say that I don't think it was his fault. The only way he could have won would have been to stay on the lily pad and he was at a disavantage with Danielle who wieghs 12 pounds and Aras the Yoga guy. The big surprise for me was that Danielle thought she could beat either of them.

I just wanted to edit that last one... Oh well.
That sounds so good, Liz! Yum.
My taste buds are longing for that meal - send me a recipe? :)
I can relate to your remodeling project...we are 4+ years into our own (Tim decided to add a big dormer to our second story and make the attic actual living space...this actually resulted in many more side projects, too). It is definitely rewarding to see improvements, though, and know that it is a result of personal time and effort. Good for you!
Not a survivor fan myself, but I understand the feelings due to my new AI addiction. :)
Your meal sounds great. I've never cooked anything that could be remotely Haitian, I'm sure, but since I love ethnic foods of all kinds, I would probably love it. Maybe you could post some recipes?!
