The first night in town, we had a mini parental reunion; the Huebel's came over to the Aldrich's for some fajitas. Ross and I definitely miss good 'ole Tex Mex in AK, so it's always on the request list when we come back for visits.
Dad A, Ross, Dad H.
Dad H. likes to supervise Ross's cooking.
Mom bought pre-marinated chicken and flank steak at Central Market. The Lime flavor was excellent and the skirt steak was thicker than we'd ever seen. Delish!
