Week in Review via Recipe Box

This is Brett's final week with us. He will be leaving on his mission to the West Indies. In celebration, we got a recipe from Don for Trinidad Doubles. Although I'm no street vendor, I think they turned out pretty decent. Can't you just smell the cumin?Trinidad Doubles Recipe

This week I also thought I'd try a food I've never eaten: Brussel Sprouts. After taking a bite, I think I may have actually eaten them once before when my dad was handing out cash at the dinner table for trying them. I don't mind them, but we probably won't buy them again on purpose. Adelyn was excited to try them because she loves vegetables, and these ones look especially cute, but she didn't love them; nor did Michael. Mike... he's not picky so he did just fine. If you like brussel sprouts, this would probably have been a good recipe for you.
To make up for it, we pulled out our favorite "cold campfire" treat

FHE S'Mores
Graham Crockers
Chocolate Frosting
Marshmallow Creme
Spread the frosting on one cracker and the creme on another and mash them together.

Your picture of doubles had me salivating. You did eat them with your fingers - right??? If you ate them with a fork you lost half of the flavor and you also lost half of the experience. The other half goes down the front of your shirt.

Don.

Thanks for the website link! I'll definately look it up! They sing a little song that is so cute, it's called "I've got Joy" and it has actions and everything. I could send it to you if you'd like, I think I have the audio and the music for it too. We sure like following your family... thanks for following us!! Michelle
