And here it is!! It’s steamed with garlic.  Dad later on said that we should have just asked for it plain steamed without garlic

This is a long delayed post!   Last year, James wanted Lolo to try his Bryan Flannery burgers so we brought some for lunch and James cooked it for him.  We were so happy to have Chris and Tito Rico join in the taste test! 🙂
