My son was home from school in California for a month. It was so nice to have him back home! We all miss him so much! We dropped him off at the Rochester NY airport just as it was beginning to freezing rain. After 5 or 6 hours of delays, he finally got back to California safely, (I write with tears in my eyes)!

While he was here, he twisted my arm and convinced me that having a presence on Youtube was important! Since he had all of the equipment to get started, we gave it a try! To be perfectly honest, I would have spent 3 more days editing it but he convinced me that for my first video it was good. I hope you agree! Let me know what you think! The next video will be the Chicken Alfredo we made with the Cheese Sauce.
