An Award and A Treat for the Surgical Team!

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!

The Friends Award comes with this message attached:
"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:

1. Athella of http://athellag-ocdesigner.blogspot.com/

3. Chari of http://happytodesign.blogspot.com/

4. Cindy of http://sisterhoodofthecreativehearts.blogspot.com/

5. Laura at http://tomariescabin.blogspot.com/

6. Laurie of http://bargainhuntingwithlaurie.blogspot.com/

These girls are all my dearest friends and they are all warm hearted and you should visit them when you can. Get to know them if you don't yet.. I have a lot of dearest friends but I will limit it to 6 at this time.

And now for the main event! 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!

Now, it's time to visit the other participants and check out all the other delicious food. Thanks, Gollum for another successful and fun foodie event!
