I-Luv_Rusty, come on over any time!!!

Joycenalex and ShaisMom, here is the recipe for Far East Celery (Yum!)

FAR EAST CELERY
4 Cups of 1" Celery slices
5 oz. can Water Chestnuts
1 Can of Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
1/4 cup diced pimientos
1/2 cup bread crumbs
4 Tablespoons melted butter
Slivered almonds

Boil celery in a small amount of water for 8 minutes -- they will be crisp-tender. Drain and place in a 2 quart casserole dish. Stir the water chestnuts, soup, and pimientos in with celery; and smooth out. Top with bread crumbs, and sprinkle with melted butter; sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.

Let me just make the note that I HATE pimientos! But in this recipe they are sooo good!!! This is the only reason I buy them, ever!

Every year, we'd go to my grandmother's house where Mamoo would fix a TON of food. It was all SO good (everything she made was) every year, but since this is the first year without her, we decided not to be traditional. It was for our mind's sake - we didn't think we could handle upholding the tradition without her.... plus, none of us can cook like her.

So instead, we had a MEXICAN FIESTA!!

I had:

Homemade salsa with chips
Shrimp Burritos with:

• beans
• homemade Mexican rice
• spiced shrimp
• lettuce
• tomatoes
• black olives
• sour cream (just a dab)
• green onions

Homemade Mexican rice on the side, of course
Dairy Queen icecream cake that says "Happy Bird Day!" - yes, the guy who wrote it thought we were nuts.
