I just took my lab practical exam and I OWNED it. So happy about that! AHHH Bio 1 is FINALLY done!

Well until next quarter when I take bio 2.....

Onto the food! This was my Dads favorite recipes to cook. He came up with it about 4 years ago and everyone in my family loved it. Before he died he wrote down all of my family's favorite recipes and this was one of them. Enjoy!
