Three-day weekend approaching and I’m only just now thinking about what to cook to launch the unofficial start to summer. Left on our own, I think we’d stick to seafood, but if missr3n3’s dad stops by after work, then we are looking strictly at a red meat thing. But then, I could do a sort of sampler thing with a little bit of everything, provided I can find small quantities. On the other other hand, it would be great to be very lazy and do something really, really simple and sit back with a glass of lemonade and truly relax over the long weekend. And who says I have to do the big cooking on my last day off? Why can’t I cook on Sunday and still have Monday to relax? Maybe that will be a new kind of challenge — create the simplest grill menu to have on Sunday and maybe enjoy leftovers on Monday.

My favorite food vlog. I have cooked quite a few of his recipes and I have never once been disappointed. And he does a lot of grill recipes.
I also have a pretty good bbq sauce recipe. :3
You cannot taunt me with a recipe for bbq sauce and then not share it. That does not work. Oh no. You will fork over the sauce recipe.

Last night, missr3n3, her father, and I attended a meeting with her art teacher to discuss next year’s AP Art class and its related summer assignments (because missr3n3 did not have enough on her plate this summer <— sarcasm). Most of it went over my head because O+< is the limit of my drawing ability, but what I saw was a lot of art that would need to be made in relatively little time. And it just dawned on me, sitting there on that uncomfortable wooden stool in an aging classroom with the fluorescent lights flickering overhead, that this was so much more than the faded self-portrait that has sat framed on my desk at work the past few years, with its smiley face sun, plain background, and slightly faulty anatomy. She understood all this. She knew, as the meeting went on, what she is facing and how much work it’s going to be. I looked over at her, expecting to see anxiety and discomfort, but it wasn’t there. There she was — chin up, shoulders straight, eyes bright behind the lenses of her glasses — confident, and ready to take it on. She grew up right in front of my eyes. Last year, she was a high school student who happened to draw and now she’s an artist who happens to be in high school. I’m still amazed.
I’m always thinking to myself, “Goodness! She’s going to become such a wonderful young lady!” It’s not true anymore. She’s become a wonderful young lady. And this summer she’s going to kick some art azz!
