    Thanks all.  And @caliking is correct.  My son is the workhorse in the family.  Although my daughter did 90% of the work on this meal.

    After getting over the fact you passed only a few miles from the house. Let me just say (directed to your children)

    Thanks @Hotch - yes I was unable to suppress my smile all night - not that I tried.

    Thanks @JohnnyTarheel.

    Thank you @northGAcock, I didn't realize I was that close to your place on one (or both) of my drives.  But if I stopped at your place I would have missed this meal.

    Tell them I get back from a business trip next Tuesday. I'll send them my address.

    Props to them (and to you) for the wonderful meal. 
    @GrateEggspectations, unfortunately my daughter returns to law school Tuesday morning.  Otherwise I'd be happy to rent them out - if the price were right.

    Very awesome, my son is just starting to show interest in cooking so I hope he gets to this level some day. Great family you have and sounds like you raised them right!

    I am in awe. This great post gives me hope for my own kid. I would just about keel over if he ever did anything like this for me.

    These kids are something special. Both great ones. 
    I (we) have met their parents. They certainly get their endearing qualities from mom.

    Thank you @Brisket_Fanatic and @Florida Grillin Girl.  Good luck with your kids.  However, I'm probably an example of better of lucky than good.  

    Thanks @caliking.  You're perspective is always appreciated.  

    @THEBuckeye, my wife and I were so pleased that we jumped up from dinner and started doing the dishes.  We wanted to make sure this behavior was very positively reinforced.  

    Thanks @NDG.

    @Gulfcoastguy, that's a great point.  I may just do that.  They passed the test.
