Date & Time: September 11, 2009 6:30pm
Main Course: Labor day involved getting up at 5 in the morning to light the Weber gas grill and begin the long smoking process of two pork country roasts. At about 1pm the roast came off the grill; admittedly they could have used a couple hours longer but I was hungry. The pork was chopped, not pulled, and we ate and ate and ate. What little was left over was served again for tacos on burrito night. And I have to say it made very tasty tacos at that. In addition some ground beef was browned with some onions cumin salt and garlic for tacos for Noah. Doesn't like smoked pork, he's lucky we don't kick him out... Anyway the meat was served in either flour or corn tortillas or crunchy tacos shells.
Sides: Roasted corn salad/salsa, on labor we also served the sweetest sweet corn ever by roasting it on the grill until the kernels started to brown the leftovers were used in the this super sweet salad;Sour cream; no beans this week there were black beans int he corn salad; chips; Mexican shredded cheese; homemade guacamole with lots of cilantro; and diced jalapenos.
Beverage / Libation: bottle of Chardonnay of some sort and we finished off some other chardonnay in the fridge.
Desert: Nothing was served but the boys each had a bowl of homemade ice cream left over form labor day as well.
Guests: Tom and Sue and Aunt Lizzard
Misc.: Well I got this one posted in a timely fashion and I even remember what happened last night. I have lots to say here but I have no more time. I don't really have anything to say but I do have to go... Hmm the pork sandwiches on Monday were tasty.
Cheerio,

Lot’s of food
Date & Time: August 13, 2009 6:30pm
Main Course: Ground beef tacos. We didn’t have a taco seasoning mix so we had to whip up a home made kind. There’s lots of recipes on the internet for taco seasoning. The one I choose was pretty good but I’ve used a better one in the past.
Sides: Sour cream; black beans with chorizo sausage; salsa homemade with homegrown tomatoes and some store bought tomatoes; Guacamole home made; homemade jalapeños hot sauce; chips; lettuce; Mexican shredded cheese; taco sauce; and potatoes with chorizo.
Beverage / Libation: wine, a couple bottles of it and three flavors Jarritos for the kids… Desert: I forget
Guests: Tom and Sue; Sarah, Jake and Dillon; and Liz.
Misc.: Following dinner the kids ran off to play and the younger kids had a dance party in the front room.

Party Time
Date & Time: June 6,2009 6:00pm
Main Course: Steak.... Chicken and more chicken, with a couple vegetables. The grill was lit once again and some boneless chicken breast and thighs were cooked along with some thick sliced onions and bell peppers (the opinions and peppers were supplied by the guest from a farmer basket). Additionally some sort of super thin beef was cooked. The beef was not of very high quality but ended up tasting fairly good after being marinated in lime juice and cumin and being grilled. The food was all served with flour and corn tortillas.
Sides: Refried pinto beans with Chorizo sausage; homemade guacamole hmm; onions and chorizo, hmmm; salsa from a bucket (it looked better then it was) but my tomatoes were still yellow next week they should be red); yellow shredded cheese; and Tabasco sauce and Reds hot sauce (need to get some jalapeños to make homemade sauce).
Beverage / Libation: Jug of Livingston Wine. Lemonade, apple juice and water.
Desert: Sugar or chocolate chip cookies that Eileen brought which we made sandwich cookies out of.
Guests: Tom; Aunt Liz; Eileen; Tony; Maggie; Asa and Audrey.
Misc.: The kids all ran around and had fun. We were planning on eating at 6pm but didn't really sit down until 6:40 since the kids were having fun on the pirate ship.
