This little critter is just one of the seafood found in this Italian pasta dish, called Ciapino..
It was pretty good. I think I'd rather just have just spaghetti though. 馃崫馃崫馃崫
There were lots of people over. Well, not a whole bunch, but quite a few.. let's see, my mom was there as well as my aunt and uncle, their 2 daughters were there. Rob, my cousin Joy's boyfriend was there. and oh yea, can't forget Jethro! the doggie. also, my aunt Debbie was in attendance and my uncle Caleb showed up too. It was a good little get together.
*mom was there, of course, and ready to eat!
Here's a shot of Jethro (the pooch) and my cousin Joy..
and the guests of honor.. my aunt Addie and her daughter, my cuz Joan..
see, many years ago my aunt had to have dialysis because of her bad kidneys. Luckily, Joan offered up one of her kidneys and it was a match. No more dialysis for my aunt and it added many many years to her life!

I guess I am no stranger to kidney's getting donated and such.. My wife (I guess I should refer to her as my x wife now, but it's not official yet) gave her kidney to her older sis. We moved to philippines for a few years to get that done. I like to think I played some small role in that decision since I was 100% in favor of the transplant and encouraged my wife to go through with the surgery. (as well as my savings was ravaged by us living in philippines with NO income whatsoever. :( )
