Twins just wanna have fun this afternoon! Everything is within 10-15 minutes drive from our place - -so it's really not a big deal if they want to go to the library, the mall, blockbuster video, bookstore etc etc.....as long as I don't feel lazy, I can drop them off easily. This afternoon, they are meeting some friends at the bowling lane....(when will you get your license?)
... while waiting for their call back ...might as well cook some Spanish inspired snack - -beef empanada! When we were in Manila, the best place to get one is at GOLDILOCKS bakeshop (approx costs $1 per piece) and I remember purchasing a dozen at a time and will take them to work (together with caramel popcorn - Yum!). Wow..I missed those days - -I better call my sister in California and order some popcorn and bread hmmm...
