Have heard the chops are good.

Chops are good, especially when properly prepared (easy to cook wrong/burn). Leg of lamb is also very good and I prefer it over the chops.

FIFY...are we vicious or what? I just know its yummy!

Yes we are! Love me some veal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can message you the blueberry cake recipe if you want. It isn't a cake you frost...we like it with coffee or anytime...makes a good breakfast treat.

Yes please do. Perhaps I will surprise the wife with it one day. I love coffee cakes and similar breakfast sweets like those, probably why its hard for my beltline to shrink as quickly as I would like.

I've had chops prepared traditionally by an Egyptian family and they were simply amazing. Didn't think I cared for lamb before that. (Other than gyro meat which doesn't really count)

Hello mom45, sounds like your son is having quite the adventure.

He is. He posted this picture on Facebook of this homeless man and his dog. It is an amazing portrait...so much emotion in this picture.

A friend commented about the humanitarian aspects of the trip and this was his response.

"Thanks! I'm honestly discovering so many different facets of myself with this trip. Hearing the different viewpoints and ideologies from one country to the next is an eye-opener if nothing else. This particular individual was humbling. The fact that I'm traveling without a home of my own (and on a budget) has given me a peek at what some homeless experience. Before, I would have probably waved him off as just another beggar, but now I just want to hear what they've done in life. Where they've been, what they've accomplished and seen, and how they got to where they are now.

I wish I was fluent in more languages because the stories REALLY interest me. It's one thing to photograph an individual and try to figure out their story. It's something else entirely to hear that story and then to eternalize their life and existence in a photograph."

It makes me proud to see him growing and becoming more compassionate toward others. This trip has been a great experience for him. We have said it before that he will come back a very different person, but it is already happening.

Has anyone here ever had a photo book printed on any of the sites? Photobucket offers them and I believe there are others as well. I'm thinking that I may have a book made for my parents with some of my son's artwork since they don't have the internet....might be a nice Christmas gift???

No, but I have used CVS several times. If you get their emails they offer 50% sales all the time...

I'll check that out. I found a couple others online so I'll have to some comparisons. He is wanting me to also check into getting some of his sketches made into postcards or notecards that we could sell to help fund his trip.
