The best moment on Friday was reconnecting with Elaine's "evil twin" Stephanie. Stephanie is also a speech-language pathologist and she and Elaine worked together back in Michigan a whole lot of years ago.
She and her daughter Morgan came for a short weekend visit. They live in Miami but this is the first time we've seen Stephanie in at least six years. This is the first time we met Morgan.
Stephanie is originally from Haiti. If you've ever had an Ola Lola's Bomba Burger - the spicy version of the Peanut Butter Burger - you can thank Stephanie. She is the one who introduced us to the Haitian practice of putting habanero peppers in peanut butter.
Elaine made this spicy peanut butter treat for Stephanie's birthday one year. She made a small jar of the stuff. Spreading the concoction on crackers the three of us ate the whole jar in one sitting. When we started making Peanut Butter Burgers at Ola Lola's, it was obvious that we had try a "bomba" version. I gotta tell ya, it is a food group on of its own.
So thanks to Stephanie for bomba and thanks for bringing Morgan to visit.
