.........and his name is Herman

Patsy, Bec and Jacob came over for Thursday night supper. It was Patsy's turn to cook and she made the most delicious casserole. She called it a Burrito Bake (recipe to follow). It was a beautiful spring evening, warm and clear, a little breezy. We sat out on the deck and Jacob played in the back yard.

When Bec arrived from work this is the way the conversation went between her and Jacob. She said, "Hi Jacob", with a smile on her face. He said, "Where's Herman" (no smile on his face). She said, "Aren't you glad to see me?" He crossed his little arms across his chest and said, "I want to see somebody and his name is Herman".

OOOOh, Herman is a lucky man. That little boy loves him with a capital L. Poor Bec, who he truly adores, took it on the chin. When Herman's in the house the rest of us are poor substitutes. Just the way it is. When Herman finally got home, Jacob actually fell down the steps trying to get to him as fast as he could. Then he jumped up and kept on running until he was in Herman's arms. At last, the two of them were together, Jacob doing the happy dance all over Herman's heart.

After enjoying some of the nice weather we ate our dinner. It was very good and I hope you enjoy the recipe that follows.
