Today was a damned good day.
I will say, though, that the only time it was NOT storming was during breakfast (and the after-walk), and during the barbecue (thank you creamed Christ on Melba Toast).
AND ... when I hit Kenedy/La Grange, about an hour from home. >.>
You know - you can find some preeeeeettty interesting things/places when you make a wrong turn in the middle of sweet eff all.
O.O
paddle faster, Mommy!
And ... I am
also pretty goddamned sure that gas wells are NOT supposed to be irregularly gouting flames. Although - it did look pretty fucking cool with a raging thunderstorm and almost constant branch lightning as a back drop. Very "Dontgonearthe Castle," if you know what I mean.
The barbecue was fabulous. :) I scared a Mexican and earned fist bumps from four others. White girl got game, puppy!
Jenn's hubby Roberto was cooking over this HUGE cast iron wok (I am SO envious). He made the fajitas in it, then he dumped a ton of garlic cloves (whole), sliced onion and oil in, stir fried it for a bit, then tossed in slivered cabrito and .... handsfuls of halved habanero peppers, with seeds still in.
My mouth immediately started watering. I told him I was within about a breath of stealing his stir spoon and feeding myself from the plate - the guys laughed, and his brother mocked. Heh. It smelled fantastic, though. When it was juuuust finished cooking the meat, Roberto brought out a huge spoon, and let me pick at it. 6 of the halved habaneros went into my mouth one by one. it was delightful! His brother looked a little green, like he was waiting for my head to explode. ♥ It was SO yummy. I love hot peppers. (Never had that whole "burning ring of fire thing" - they just
taste so damned good!) Roberto's friends decided I'm a good Mexican. :) Hehe.
SO. My burps will peel paint right now, but that's ok. :P
Good day!
My hands and hips hurt, but tylenol-arthritis will remedy that, along with a good soak.
:) ::contented sigh::
