“Little Donkey” Night

Date & Time: August 14, 2008 6:30pm
Main Course: Grilled chicken with onions and red and yellow bell peppers. It was more or a fajita night then a burrito night. There were both flour and corn tortillas that were warmed on the grill. The chicken was rubbed with chili powder, garlic powder and salt and drizzled with vegetable oil and allowed to rest for 15 minutes before transferring to a very hot cleaned grill (I use a Weber Genesis Silver which I would recommend to anybody looking for a really good grill). The vegetables were rubbed with vegetable oil and put on the grill at the same time as the chicken. The peppers charred slightly on the outside.
Sides: preshredded mozzarella cheese (we were out of cheddar or other cheese, cheese doesn’t last long in out refrigerator.), sour cream, Home cooked black and pinto beans no chorizo sausage sausage today. Yup a bowl full of tomatoes, a bushel of peppers and a couple head of lettuce in the garden and we didn’t eat any of it.
Beverage / Libation:
water and maybe pink lemonade.

Desert:
Delia and Wyatt both had long popsicles (freezer pops), Noah had a Hershey’s bar and a slice of cinnamon cake, I had a orange standard popsicle on a stick, and I have no idea if Carolyn had anything.

Guests:
Not applicable

Miscellaneous burrito information:
Wyatt had a rough day. His pillows were stacked funny Wednesday night and woke up with a soar neck on Thursday and spent the majority of the day on the sofa watching TV. He didn’t even go soccer camp which he is getting better at (the first day he told me “my feet are for walking not kicking”…). When he did walk around he had his Gilbert Junior (a new version of his blanket that turned into a ball of string and is currently MIA) wrapped around his shoulder in shawl fashion and looked like a little old lady hobbling about slowly. I am happy to report that following a bath after dinner Wyatt is doing well and his neck muscle loosened up. So with Wyatt crabby all day we didn’t feel like inviting guests over.

Cheers
NATE
