Good Clean Family Fun

August 1, 2009

Sibling rivalry? Not us! Sure, we battled a bit as youngsters, but nowadays, my bro and I are the best of buds. We chat, text and talk just about every day. We even make a great team in the kitchen! Last weekend we invited our parents over to Ed and Deirdre’s for a late lunch. I chopped and prepped, he manned the grill, and I made a ginger-soy glaze for the salmon, and a quinoa-veggie salad. Everything turned out perfectly and we gobbled it up! Can’t wait to go back and do it again. Good job partner!

Later that evening, despite having missed a nap, Corin was all smiles (though not for long).
