On my lunchbreak my wife called my cell and told me where I was. I told her I was at the bank and returning the videos at Blockbuster Video. She asked me if I was coming home to lunch. I said yes and she said she had a suprise for me. She cooked something. hmmmmm :)
When I got home she brought this plate to me on the kitchen table. I was suprised and shocked! It looked like she bought it from a fine dining restaurant. She immediately wanted me to taste how it was. It was so ono!! I told her it look like she got it from a restaurant. And the filling she made in the pot looked like kaldereta that her dad is a master of! :D
