Baba in Chee-lay


Today Joe was in Santiago, Chile. Spring was in the air. He had lunch at the restaurant featured in the photo. He and his fellow lunchers got an appetizer plate with many kinds of fish: smoked oysters, raw oysters, shrimp, crab, smoked & raw salmon, octopus, squid, and "stuff I didn't know," said Joe, including something with barnacles. Monday is Chile's independence day and Joe is attending a holiday lunch tomorrow with 150 Church employees who work in the Santiago area office. Joe will be a "dignitary" at one of the tables. That's my Joey: dignified. Then he leaves Santiago tomorrow evening, flies 10 hours and gets home Saturday morning. Yippee. It's fun to see his photos from South America, sure, but it'll be more fun to have him home again.

We find it hard to believe that
there is a dish anywhere in the world that a goourmet chef such as Joe does not know about, even if it does have tenticles.
Thanks for sharing the pics and the comments.
Love to you all,
Mom and Dad

You are such a trooper! Andrew was gone for work ONE NIGHT last night and I was ready for him to come home. Looks like he's having quite the adventure, though.
