Honduras Loses To USA In Soccer Match And We Eat Artichoke Dip As We Weep At The Loss

Claudia had more fun than all the rest of us, she didn't understand that Honduras lost to the USA in the soccer game. She just knew that all her aunts and uncles took turns holding her and she loved it!

Miguel and Ana invited us over to their home to watch the soccer game. It was nice to be with friends but it was horrible to lose the game.

At least we had good food and good fellowship. I made the Hot Artichoke Dip and it was wonderful!

Hot Artichoke Dip Recipe

1 jar of artichoke hearts in oil, drained and chopped (I use the kind packed in oil because they have a better flavor)
1/2 cup real mayonnaise (not salad dressing)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco Sauce

Mix all together and then place in the microwave until bubbling hot, remove from microwave and place under the broiler until slightly browned on top. Serve with fresh Italian bread or pita bread.
