You made me cry, a little bit. I've already made plans to head back up to Las Vegas, NM between spring and summer.
I miss that food, and my friends there. Smiling Faces at the south end of town on Grand, and Little Saigon, at the north end of Grand, just east of the school and the Ford car dealership.
Both good places to eat, with good people that I will hug when I see them again.

Grew up in Albuquerque, but lived out of state for several years while DH was in the Air Force. Had my mom ship me green and red chile, masa seca and dried posole corn while I was gone so I could still prepare tradtional New Mexico food. I've only driven through Las Vegas, many times.....it's BEAUTIFUL!
I’m making Baked Spaghetti for Pan_Yan and our daughter to take to a beautiful Christmas Eve pot-luck dinner that they’ll be having with friends this evening.
Our son has pneumonia, so the two of us will stay home and he’ll keep me company while enjoying our appetizers of my holiday cheese ball with crackers and spinach dip on pumpernickel bread. We’ll keep warm while I bake dozens of cookies tonight.
All I want for Christmas is a healthy son.
This is my first Christmas without my father. He passed away last summer. I’m remembering the divinity that he waited all year for... and the pickled herring that he loved at Christmas. I miss him.
