BBQ

Tuesday was BBQ day. I had bought enough meat to make 26 burgers. To go with the burgers, I had made guacamole and a salsa...for tortillla chips. Then, after finding a substitute for sour cream and finding a basic recipe to replace the box of Jiffy cornmuffin mix, I made an experimental corn casserole, which was a hit, to my surprise. It didn´t taste quite right using yogurt instead of sour cream....but they don´t have sour cream. For dessert, I made an apple crisp and trix bars.

Angelica has told me I need to keep cooking new things until I leave...as she and her girls are enjoying the treats, as well as learning new things to make...or at least new recipes. All of this cooking has created a demand for recipes in Spanish. So, for a going away present for Angelica, I am going to make a cookbook. I suppose I need to pass it along to some of the other too.

We had a very fun time. It was nice to be able to share something with my co-workers, who are always so good to me. They all still question....Jami, why do you need to leave? Just stay here. Why not? ha ha...they are nice.

At about 12:30 that night, everyone went home...I helped bring in the dishes and put things away, then Ana told me to go to bed, so I did. I was tired.
