Hey mama! Wow! That's some trip. And I thought 8 hours to visit my family was rough. I got nothing on you. I tried to nominate Steemians who tend to post cooking anyway so it might not seem like too much extra work to participate. I enjoy the nominations because I personally don't have as much content to offer as Matthew but sometimes I think they can feel overwhelming so I don't want to make anyone feel obligated if their plates are already for. Ha! That pun was unintended and so perfect! I keep forgetting to try kraut. I have to add that to the list immediately. We get lots of comments of surprise for what good eaters our kids are. As in, they eat real food and we don't have to constantly bribe them with treats to eat a meal and they're not overly picky. I hope you have a great trip. I am already looking forward to your return. -Aimee
