Main Course: We had the old stand by ground beef with a taco seasoning packet. We served them with flour tortillas and nachos. Well Noah's the only one who had nachos since he doesn'tlike flour tortillas.
Sides: Refried pinto beans fried in bacon and garlic; salsa from a jar and chips; Mexican shredded cheese; lettuce; and the last of Sues jalapeno hot sauce
Beverage / Libation: wine and lots of it.
Desert: There was some chocolate frozen yogurt.
Guests: Tom and Sue.
Misc.: Seems to be a rather boring burrito night. I am pretty sure something else interesting happened but I'm at a loss to remember something that long ago; it being Monday and all. I think Sue may have given the kids baths well Wyatt and Delia at least but that could be my imagination. Right now I'm just writing something to fill some space because it seemed a little short and I really can use the practice writing and I was listening to Merlin Mann this morning talk about being creative and the creative process and the main thing I heard was that everybody is sure everything they do is crap; and that the people who make it just come to accept that most of what they do is crap. So I'm accepting this entry...
Cheerio,

Taco Time!
Date & Time: June 11, 2009 6:30pm
Main Course: We had the old stand by ground beef with a taco seasoning packet. We served them in flour tortillas and hard shell tacos. I enjoyed a double decker, being a crispy taco wrapped with a flour tortilla with beans and cheese in between and the standard crispy taco fillings. Makes me hungry just typing about it.
Sides: Sour cream; very garlicky (that’s in the spell checkers?) pinto beans with out any chorizo sausage (we ran out and I forgot to pout it on the list…); salsa from a jar and about 6 chips chips; Franks hot sauce; Mexican shredded cheese; lettuce; and jalapeño hot sauce (which Sue brought over).
Beverage / Libation: wine form a box and a large bottle of Yellow Tail merlot which was missing a couple of glasses…
Desert: Left over cupcakes, From Delia’s birthday
Guests: Tom and Sue, and Aunt Liz.
Misc.: All three kids enjoyed dancing around the living to the Chicken Dance and Elvis.
Cheers,
NATE

"Liz who?" or "Two Liz's no waiting" or "I'm the Tooth Fairy and I'm an alcoholic"
Date & Time: June 4, 2009 6:30pm
Main Course: The grill was fired up and alts of food was cooked and only some of it was over cooked... We had steak and chicken breasts with lots of thick cut onions and grilled red and yellow bell peppers. The meat was seasoned with the standard of late season salt, I admit I've gotten lazy but I enjoy the flavor. The meat was maybe a little over cooked but still good. The flank steak was still pink and the chicken was still juicy. White and whole wheat flour tortillas were available of which I'm not sure I can tell the difference between if blind folded.
Sides: Sour cream; Newly cooked pinto beans with lots of chorizo sausage; salsa from a jar and chips; home made guacamole; Mexican grated cheese; and Franks hot sauce.
Beverage / Libation: A bottle of white and a bottle of chardonnay plus a large bottle of Merlot which was not completely drank.
Desert: a bag of 22 funny English candies which included: smarties (like little M&MS), some sort of white chocolate chip things, a chocolate bar and pastlies some sort of gummy candy.
Guests: Tom, Sue and there aughter Lizzie; Jon my brother aka uncle blue hair; Liz my sister aka Liz.
Misc.: Wyatt was supposed to act like he had no idea who Liz was when she showed up but he failed to play along. Liz also managed to knock a tooth out of Noah's mouth. I think she hit him with a pillow or something. This lead to the tragedy of realizing the tooth fairy may have a drinking problem and failed to stop by which resulted in one distraught 7 year old Friday morning....
