My mother would be proud
After 7 1/2 years of being married and living away from home, I finally attempted my mom's famous recipes for Teriyaki chicken and Kalua pig. I don't know why it took me so long, maybe I was just intimidated by the fact that there is no recipe, just a pinch of this and a handful of that, and keep putting it in till it taste right kind of instructions. I practiced it 2 nights before the big event, and I'm glad I did because my first pig was a disaster. After making a few adjustments though I tried again and it was a huge success. All our friends loved it and Taber was very happy that I tried something new in the kitchen. : ) Most of all though I just kept thinking that I wished my mom was there because I know she would've been proud. : )

Well I'm certainly proud of you! This reminds me of the luau (sp?) Chad and I went to at the Polynesian Cultural Center when we were in Hawaii a few years ago...my mouth is so watering right now! Go Becca, you domestic diva you!
Wow Becca! I like how you used my long lost lavalava as a table cloth! :)He He! Everything looked so tasty and I loved the hawaiian clothes that Brin and Tabe were sporting! What was the occasion anyway?
Mmmm... yummy... (drool). I should learn how to cook this stuff as well. It would be hard to show up your mom though. She is like the best ever! Good job Becca! You are doing so many new and inspirational things! You are like supermomma. lol!
Crap Becca, I just drooled on my (internet cafe actually) keyboard. I should switch omputers but I'm still drooling!
Do you know how long it's been since I've had mom's freakin' awesome food?!!
When we get back to the states, it's the first thing I'll cook! Or we'll just have to make you're house our first stop! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
OK that seriously was an amazing meal! I love the new tradition, and am pretty sad that Cam and I won't be there for this one! I am very impressed with this meal, especially since there is no recipe! WOW! Good job Becca!
