Date & Time: October 8, 2009 6:30pm
Main Course: Chicken, I think you can call it stewed; it was cooked in the crock pot with some tasty herbs. We also foudn that the local grocery store sells a package of sopes. Sopes are basiclly little round corn meal boats, you fry them in oil, I used canola, and then fill them up. I layered beans then chicken then cheese and then some hot sauce on top.
Sides: Sour cream; potatoes and chorizo sausage; Guacamole home made; homemade jalapeños hot sauce; chips; and authentic Mexican shredded cheese (the bag said Mexican shredded cheese).
Beverage / Libation: Wine of some sort...
Desert: None. I meant to make an apple pie since we went apple picking and have 70 pounds of apples laying around but I didn't have time...
Guests: Tom & Sue and Aunt Lizard.
Misc.: The kids got to bed a a relatively reasonable time so there must not have been much horse play after dinner...

bwahhh rain and grilling
Date & Time: October 1, 2009 6:30pm
Main Course: Chicken. We had chicken and lots of vegetables. We grilled up three bell peppers of various colors, two ancho pepers big barely spicy pepers, one giant onion, and and bunch small of chicken breast. It rained on me while grilling. So the flour and corn tortillas were heated in the microwave not on the grill.

Smoke and Pork go so well together!
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,
