One highlight of the trip was the amazing Shrimp and Grits I had at The Ridges Resort and other highlights would be the kids playing 24 /7 with their cousins. Bryce jumping off a diving board and swimming sans life jacket, the fantastic cooking of my bro, SIL and her awesome mom.
And the big highlight of the trip my brother adopting his step son. Woo Hoo! Congrats to the whole gang!

Tom make a new friend.
While we were gone Tom's dad was hospitalized and since we've gotten home, Tom has been at the hospital or talking to his dad or his brothers and other family members non-stop. He is giving his dad a peptalk right now on doing his breathing treatments and concentrating on getting better and getting out of the hospital. He is a very good son.
Hopefully when he gets off the phone, he'll enjoy a new recipe I found in Real Simple magazine yesterday. It's Spiced Chicken Salad with Plums and Chickpeas now the recipe calls for Garam masala. Garam masala is a seasoning blend typically composed of black pepper, cadamon, cumin, nutmeg, etc. I didn't have any of that on hand but I though it was the perfect time to pull out my Tastefully Simple's Flavors of India Seasoning and it worked really nicely!.
