GOOD FOOD AND KITTY CAT MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

 It's been a weird weekend. 

It rained almost every day last week.

The ground is soaked.

The grass is tall.

We were looking forward to the big racing this weekend but then the shocking sudden death of one our favorite drivers has made it all so somber.

To top it all off, the weather in both race locations is not looking good for racing (Indy 500 & Coca Cola 600).

We did manage to get some good food in.

2nd Man made Pozole (a Mexican pork stew).  Lots of dried peppers to make the complex flavors.

The end result is so good.  Topped with sliced radishes, onions, shredded cabbage, avocado and cilantro.  And check out the margaritas!  I made those, it's a recipe we had always wanted to try using our Vitamix and whole fruit.  OMG, we are obsessed!

Here is Babygirl, while I was outside working on the Zen Machine, sitting next to the truck, as if to say "well, OK, when are we leaving and where are we going?"

As this posts, the Indy 500 is starting, weather holding so far...

Then this afternoon/evening it is the NASCAR Coco Cola 600 in Charlotte, we'll see how that goes.

But of course, all of this tempered by the death of NASCAR superstar Kyle Busch.  He had just won a race a few days before he died but had been battling a respiratory illness for a week or so prior.  Turns out he had pneumonia and it turned into sepsis and he just didn't make it.  So sad.  RIP Kyle.

Let us all, as it says above, remember and honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice on this special weekend and keep their families in our thoughts.
