Awww Spark Monday

 We had an AWESOME Chinese supper last night. Mom made us steamed chicken bits with rice and shredded spinach. We wanted it BEFORE they ate, but we had to wait.

Mom and Alex had homemade Pho soup with shredded chicken, rice noodles, peas, and spinach. They had lime wedges, but Mom found this terrific lime infused vinegar and it took the soup to new heights. She also made stir fried chicken breast with asparagus, water chestnuts, onions and peas (Mom could not get pea pods). She made a terrific sauce using gluten free hosin sauce, fish sauce, grated ginger, garlic, and horseradish. Alex said it was super tasty. We thought ours was too and we ate a lot too. Especially Jo Jo. Alex got a terrific shot of Jo Jo sleeping it off on the sofa.

Mom thought she looked like a Putti (those little angels that look like Cupid)...and that she would make a terrific Spark in preparation for Valentines Day! 

So our AWESOME this week is also our SPARK!

McGuffy’s who was hosting the Sparks is on hiatus,  We are going to keeps posting them anyway!  She says “I truly do believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. There is hope. Together, we can light up the entire world!”

  6. Princess Jo Jo, your Chinese dinner must have been delightful. There you are letting your mom take a photo of your full belly with your eyes closed. I bet you're still dreaming of that wonderful plate of food. And I can certainly see you being a cupid angel. Just don't fly too far from home are you won't get another meal like that.

  14. That dinner sounds delicious! I'd almost rather stick pins in my eyes than cook or do any food prep, so I envy those who enjoy it and who are good at it!

    I want to snorgle Jo Jo's tummy too!
