Before I show you my Foodie Friday contribution, I would like to acknowledge an award I received from Susan at http://thegillmanfamily.blogspot.com/. It's only been 2 months since I started blogging but with all the friends that I have met at Blogland, it seems like forever. One of them is Susan whose wonderful comments I always look forward to. I can tell that Susan is very friendly and kind hearted. Thanks Susan, for the great honor of passing this award on to me. I truly appreciate it!"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind of bloggers aim to find and to be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated."
And so to propagate more friendships, I'd like to pass this award on to some of my friends:
Gollum at http://designsbygollum.blogspot.com/ is so gracious to host another potluck. Be sure to come and join us and check out all the scrumptious food for Foodie Friday!Hubby approached me last Saturday and told me that he has been working the hospital surgical crew so hard these past weeks and he wants to do something for them, bring them lunch on Monday. I asked him if he is going to order a take out food (I wish!...LOL) but he said that it is going around the hospital how good of a cook his wife is (must be his way of convincing me to do the cooking :-)) so he would like me to prepare something for 15 people and bring it to the hospital.
I got busy and started cooking on Sunday evening. Do you like my messy kitchen? LOL! DH must really be getting into my blogging because he grabbed the camera and started taking pictures of me working. I kept begging him to stop cause I was in my pj's and I looked so gross, but he kept shooting away. Good thing the pictures can easily be deleted but I'll share one with you.
I made seafood paella.
and fried some eggrolls that I have previously frozen.
I also baked some macaroons for their dessert. The white stuff there are store bought steamed buns from the Asian market. 
I brought the food to O.R. at 11 Monday morning. Monday early afternoon, dh called me and said everything was a big hit. Whew! I am glad that is all over. But now, he wants to do it every month. Oh no! I told him maybe every three months. I will have to negotiate that. LOL!

Christine, You put so much in to all the things you do and seem to enjoy every detail of every project. Your food presentations and Tablescapes make me want to sit at your table and eat everything on my plate. (which would be everything your serving) I don't know how you do it girl.

I am so wanting to taste your paella! I love that you used mussells and shrimp. Yum! Are the Asian buns the siopao? Man, you're making me hungry for some "home cookin'!" :-)

Girl, that's what you get for cooking so good! Hehe!!! Now you'll have to cook for John's staff each month or every 3 mos...we'll see how the negotiating goes! Hehe!!! It looked delicious...you're a great cook, my friend! I cook but only to survive! It's not my favorite thing to do! Although I did make a pretty good homemade chicken soup yesterday to tie us over through the big blizzard...hehe!
Just wanted to thank you for sending me the link for those pretty aqua colored dishes! I checked the place out and they really have some pretty things! I saved them to my favorites! Thanks Sweetie! You're always so thoughtful!

Christine, thank you so much for the Friends award. You are such a wonderful friend, and I am honored to receive this lovely award from you. I enjoyed the trip to Athens, but for some reason, your "comment" section has dissapeared on that post. Congratulations on so many awards! Let me just say that you look so cute, even in your pj's! I'm sure this food you sent to the surgical team was a big hit! It looks wonderful, and how nice that John thinks so highly of your cooking. laurie
