Date & Time: 5/29/08 5:30pm (a little early this week because Sue had some where to go…)

Main Course: We had grilled chicken and onion with large floor tortillas (burrito ones not taco one). The chicken was rubbed with lime juice, salt, pepper, chili powered, and cumin prior to grilling.

Sides: Chips, jalapeño hot sauce, sour cream, black beans w/ chorizo, cheddar cheese and Aldi guacamole from a bag.

Beverage / Libation: Large bottle of Livingston chardonnay and a 20 or 24 ounce bottle of Chelada, eeewww. I’m pretty sure shellfish do not belong in canned beer. The Chelada was bud light with Clamato and was canned by Budweiser.

Desert: I made a pie (I took Thursday off to see Wyatt preschool sign along). The pie was as pretty as pie nice homemade crust and woven top. The filling was not typical and I’ve had the recipe for a couple of years. It was a cactus pie made with prickly pear cactus. A new local grocery store had the cactus precut and de-thorned so it was easy to use. We tried to keep it a surprise from Tom and Sue but Wyatt couldn’t help but blurt out it was cactus… Noah took one bite and ran to the garbage to spit it out, he can be a little over dramatic. Needless to say I think there is still some of the pie left after 5 days so I doubt I’ll be reusing that recipe… It tasted kind of like apple pie but had a rhubarb type texture. I think it would be good with something like strawberries.

Guests: Tom and Sue. Sue left right after we forced them to watch the video of Wyatt not signing in his sign along… We also pulled out the tape of Noah at his preschool sign along…

¡Salud!
