Hello, dear friends. Among my very busy schedule these last 2 weeks I also received the visit from my grandson Diego. I had forgotten that we did not get along when I invited him to Aruba a few years ago. So I had to end up telling him to stay away from my house but not before he ate all the food I had and drank all the liquor I keep for visits. I´m more angry at myself than at him. I should have known. So now I´m cooking again food for one person and I have started doing some dishes that I hadn´t had for a long time. My last dish was a tomato sauce with the most delicious meat balls. Do you like meat balls? I mixed the meat with 2 eggs, bread crums and caramelized onion. I cooked the balls in a wonderful tomato sauce I had made. On Thursday evening, Dixie is coming to take me to her house. I´ll stay there overnight and then Humberto will drive us (Camila and me) to the airport. I hope I can walk some while I´m at Aruba. Good night, Sleep tight

I am sorry that Diego is so rude. I love meatballs. I have ground beef in the freezer. I must oblige myself to eat something.

Try to start little by little. Maybe a small dish in front of the TV can help. The first months are the worst. I still have to sleep with some music on.

@LadyDuck I´d love a heat wave here. We are freezing. And central heatings will never be within my budget. Gazpacho is a lovely cold soup for summer.

@marguicha - It's too hot, I refuse air conditioning, it makes me sick. I open the windows in the morning and I close during the hottest hours.

i've been wondering how you've been doing. It seems like I haven't talked with you in a long time. I hope you and Camila have a wonderful time in Aruba. The way you make meatballs is the way mom cooked meatloaf. Have a good night.

I love meatballs. I prefer them to a meatloaf now as I would not know what to do with so much meat.

@marguicha You could use the meatloaf as sandwiches for a week or two. Did I mention that I've missed talking with you?

I am sorry to read that Diego came again and ate and drank everything in sight. I think you may have to limit his visits! Hope you have a wonderful time in Aruba with Camila. Take a picture or two!

I think that I wwill just end his visits if he wants to visit again. I can invite him (after I have forgiven him) to eat at a restaurant. I don´t want him at my house. I don´t trust him.

@marguicha I am just sorry he doesn't have more respect not to do that. I don't blame you, no more visits.

@valherma00 I am not sure that the word "kind" applies to the relation in family. It is far more complex.

I thought you had a good time with him, sorry about it. Glad you are learning to cook, its good when you know how to cook because you will not go hungryy and eat whatever you want.

It was my fault to invite him. I tend to forget what I should remember about people.
