Milestones & Chicken Chili OR Sunday Dinner and a Cold

Our Aunt is here from Philadelphia,

{staying at Lauren's house, calling it the RESORT}

and

last night we met at a small Italian Restaurant

for dinner.

Matilda had her first restaurant dining experience.

She was so GOOD!

I think that it had alot to do with Lauren & Josh being organized,

but

She was so PERFECT!

We enjoyed a quiet corner of the restaurant.

Dinner was good.

Matilda, laughed and enjoyed the evening.
*****

Here is a funny story.

Lauren kept bragging about her Chicken Chili Recipe.

I thought it sounded awful.

AWFUL.

{avoiding it at all costs}

 I smiled and said it was wonderful that she found

the perfect recipe for it.

THEN,

This past weekend, in San Antonio I caught a cold.

On Sunday, after returing home,

Lauren sent Chicken Chili for,

Sunday, Dinner and a Cold.

It was

AMAZING.

AMAZING!

She said that I could share it with you.
