 Sweet Mia!

When I left Cork in a hurry to get back to Belfast last week, I left behind the ingredients to make marshmallow rice krispy treats. I passed the complicated recipe off to pro baker Edel and she created them for first time for her family. Here is Mia giving them the stamp of approval! Us yanks know how to embrace the classics - even added dark chocolate chips! Nothing but the best for our good friends!

To cap off our FUN week with the Miller's, Bosco suggested we go to one of his favorite restaurants in Aruba, Faro Blanco (or the white lighthouse) at the north end of island. The meal was delicious, lots of homemade pasta and it seemed every table was celebrating somebody's birthday. Not to be left out, when I stepped out to use the restroom, the Miller's and Bosco plotted to celebrate my upcoming Birthday. So upon my return to the table, I was surprised by a flaming torch in a piece of cake with singing wait staff! A nice surprise!
