I wanted to jot these two short stories down for posterity sake before I forgot them.

The first occurred Thursday evening when I finally managed to get back home after a day of work and then a late night at the Create Huntington Chat-n-Chew meetings. Emily was still up and she jumped up with excited upon seeing me enter the house. She cut me off as I entered the kitchen and gave me a small golden box with a golden bow. She exclaimed, "For you Daddy, It's a box of love! I blew a bunch of kisses into it for you."

What a great way to get welcomed home.

This morning, Mothers Day, Shannon and Emily were determined to make Lisa breakfast in bed. Lisa really wanted French Toast but the girls can't make that themselves and they insisted that they would make breakfast without help. Finally, Lisa relented and ordered up some nut bread and some granola cereal (milk on the side please). The girls ran downstairs to whip her meal up and I tried to go back to sleep.

A few minutes later Emily marches into the bedroom proudly carrying a plate of food and announces that she has the nacho bread. My eyes opened at what I thought was just a mispronunciation of nut bread only to discover that she was delivering a plate of nacho bread; white bread broken into pieces covered in shredded cheddar. Emily's own recipe as an appetizer while Shannon got the main dishes ready. Lisa was a good sport and ate some of it with a smile. Emily didn't seem to think there was anything odd about the dish at all and happily finished it off for Lisa.

Perhaps the next time you're looking to impress some dinner guests you can remember the simple recipe for Nacho Bread - it's cheap and, according to Emily, tasty!
