Mmmm Hmm!!!

The old BBQ grill finally bit the dust (mostly) this summer... there was about a 1 x 1 foot area left you could cook on... which would be fine for us soon-to-be empty nesters... but not if you want to feed several people at once.

Soo, whatta ya do?

You go out and buy the biggest grill for non-commercial use they make.  LOL!

We were having Rob's office staff and anyone they wanted to bring over for dinner last night.... fun fun people... wonderful time... except that it was still a freakin' 102 degrees at 8 pm.

Anyway, I'm always messing around with marinades and for the last several years my fave has been one with a Coke base.  But a few days ago I found one that was a little bit different than ones I've used before that always have oil in them... this one is by FAR the best!  I used it to marinate both the steaks and chicken and I'll be sticking with this one for good....

Soda Pop – Soy Sauce Marinade for Chicken and Steak
Ingredients
Marinade
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cup soda - Sprite, Dr. Pepper, or Coca Cola (I've used a cup and I've used the whole can on different occasions and I like the taste of the whole can better!)
2 pounds meat
Instructions
1. Put marinade and beef in a resealable plastic bag. Allow it to marinade overnight (or at least 4 hours). 
2. Remove meat from bag and discard marinade. 
3. Grill over high heat until the meat is cooked to your desired preference.

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.   People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.   Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways huma...

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Taking a little different direction...

Been thinking mucho the last several days about where I want my life to be. Is it crazy that I'm 47 years old and don't know? When I was 23 I knew more about what I wanted for my life (overall) than I do now. There are a few things I'm pretty sure about, but I also know I'm never going to get there if I'm always thinking so far ahead.  No more tomorrow, next week, next month, next year.  Uh uh. I really feel like everything is going to take care of itself if I live in the moment right now, and ONLY for that moment.  I'm also going to let myself be surprised... not always have everything so carefully calculated. And since I want the unknown, I'm not doing the 30-day photo challenge... So here's where I'm going... and I do know it's a good thing... though honestly, I really don't know where it's going to take me... but I feel like it will be, what it is to be... "Let it be, let it be, let it be-ee, let it be."
