  3. Ok, all the food on your blog is making me hungry, but the Hawaiian meatballs are breaking me! The secretary in Jere's office at the Pentagon is from Guam, and she makes her own version of Hawaiian meatballs that you serve over white rice. Last time Jere was up there, she froze two containers and he flew home with them in his suitcase!

    Food blogs are great places for a pregnant woman to get ideas for cravings. :-) And have I mentioned lately how grown up your kids are looking? Holy cow.
