    Questions:
    what is contained in Fideus a la Casola?
    Who is Heather?
    Why is Miquel doing a Frodo Baggins with the necklace ring?

  3. Thanks for the wishes Wendy. I will pass them on to Miquel. 16 is so hard to believe!

    Mike, Fideus is a pasta dish, almost like a very fat spaghetti. The meat used is
    melt in your mouth pork rib meat, and the dish is flavored with an olive oil, onion,
    and tomato base. (Sofrito) The spice used is Saffron, but too expensive for me, so
    I substitute turmeric when I need to. It is also one of my favorite meals in Spain.

    Heather is the daughter of one of my oldest and dearest friends, Chris. She happens
    to be close in age to Laura, and they have become friends. In fact, there are two
    instances where my daughter is close friends to daughters of MY close friends (Chris and
    Lisa, moms of Heather and Shelby, respectively) It’s actually kinda nice to see
    our daughters be so close.

    Initially Miquel wanted The Ring, and for his finger, and I got it for him,
    I think I ordered it a little too big, so he opted to wear it around his neck during
    sports. He really likes the ring, and doesn’t want to lose it!
