Cleveland Caucus

We traveled to Cleveland over the past couple of days to see Paula, Steve, Nic, and Joe. We used to work with Nic down in Kannapolis, and haven't seen her in years! Paula and she are both having babies within a month of each other, so we also had a meeting of the bellies. We also got to meet Nic's husband Joe. Below the pictures of us are more of Lily hamming it up at Paula and Steve's.

Oh, and it bears mentioning that a certain previously culinarily challenged dark headed female has incredible mashed potato skills. Most of you have heard previous kitchen shockers where "P" was involved...the "Spinach" incident and the "Banana Bread" incident are still fresh on my mind. Needless to say, marriage has been good for Chef Paula...based on the mashed potatoes alone, I'm ready for her to have her own show on the Food Network.
