Chicago!

This past weekend I flew to Chicago to spend some time with Luke and Andrea and her family and help them with wedding plans.
Andrea's mom is an amazing cook, and it was fun taste some new ethnic food including fried plantains which were made into a kind of sandwich (the plantains being the "bread" and then filled with all kinds of wonderful food!) She made this special meal for Andrea's sister's surprise Birthday party!

Peeling the plantains which are later flattened in a press and then fried.

Fried plantains in black pan on the bottom right. Yummers!
