Lee, I thought you had fallen off the blog there for awhile. Glad to see you're still here and doing well. It sounds like Karen had the best solution to the name tags. Karen, your ingenuity for this reunion was spot on. As I looked through the pictures, it was great to see some of the people. Lee you are very right when you say many classmates got more beautiful through the years. I would have never recognized Sandy M., without having a name to a picture.

Jay, again it is a small world. Sandy has sent us spiedi sauces and skewers with a detailed recipie how to use them. We loved the sampler she sent us. She was telling me about the spiedi fest. It sounds a fun weekend. Her and her family goes every year.

Okay, *rubbing my hands together here* recipies are my speciality. Living abroad I have brought a lot of American b-b-que and marinade recipies over to other countries. And of course learned new ones. I make the best West Indian bar-b-ques on the island and West Indian style cooking. On any given weekend you will find loads of people at our home or a gathering at the beach where good music, food, and company are flowing. I've become infamous for the best burgers on the island and the best jerk chicken, pork, beef and lamb. You should see how the locals here dish up halushki and pireodgi!*spelling???* You'd think I made them the best meal on earth. The closest we get to kielbossi is Hillshire Farms brand. When I first bought it my husband looked at it very strangely. When he tasted it I knew he had hidden somewhere inside of him some eastern european blood. He eats it like mad! The only way you won't find it in the house is if the stores don't have any. We keep on telling him wait until he tastes the kielbossi made locally in the Valley. Between American football and kielbossi, he will want to stay and live there! *laughter* I neve thought I would become a football widow to American football, with a West Indian husband. West Indians LOVE cricket which I find BORING and of course soccer, which I LOVE.

We're coming home for Christmas, (home being the US). I have a close friend who lives in Tampa and has season tickets to the Bucs. The guys are going to the Monday night football game on the 23rd. Pittsburgh at the Bucs. My husband has been dancing around the house since we confirmed they got the tickets. *laughter* Out teams are the Bucs but of course first and always the Eagles. This year I expect the Eagles to finally take the SB.

Jay, I'll get your address and arrange a package of jerk seasoning and other spices with some recipies to be sent to you. Trust me, if you love spiedi, you'll love these.
