Cindy actually sent me the ingrediants to make red rice! Wow, do I miss Guam in so many ways now! You both are making me hungery for Guams food and the island itself!

pat said...

Ric, when my dad was alive, he always loved to make chicken kiliguen..(sp)..with fresh coconut...it was sooo good! Do you remember that?

Ric Larson said...

Yes Pat I remember all too well! Funny, I remember Guam and all the happenings as if were yesterday. Ask me what happened yesterday or 10 years ago... I draw a blank.

Cindy said...

Pat, I think I may just make red rice. Just to warn you we having house FULL on x-mas eve. Besides your family and mine, Kassie is bringing over her parents, grandma and sis, and Michelle and Karl's mom will be here with her boyfriend. Yes friends, it's official I am CRAZY..my husband's ex will be here from Ohio today, her and boyfriend can't find hotel room and I said they could stay here. Please say prayers for me..lol

Ric Larson said...

Cindy said...

The lumpias were a great..everyone loved them. Thanks Pat for the all the hard work that went in to making them. Red rice was a hit too. My stepson and his wife just stopped by, they are headed to Vegas for 3 days for some alone time, he seemed really happy and relaxed and I'm glad that we had a happy, noisy, crazy, all the family together Christmas for him to enjoy after spending the last two in Iraq...it was worth all time and effort to be able to give that to him.
