So…I’m getting ready to move to Phoenix chasing a job and my wife is pregnant. Could the timing be any worse? Probably, but not much.

So this is how a friend told me to do it…

marinade some meat in soy and picapeppa sauce for a few days.

Then create a glaze/marinade out of the following:

wine
ketchup or tomatoe paste and vinegar
molassis
honey dijon mustard
sliced up onion and garlic
lots of crushed pepper and some salt
and whatever spices suite your fancy

The base is wine/ketchup/molassis. You can do 1/3 each if you like it sweet. Less molassis if you want to make it less sweet. I am trying tomatoe paste and vinegar and less molassis today to see what that does.

Let the meat marinade in the glaze/marinade for a few more days

Grill till rare and chow down.

I spent the last 4 days being sicker than a dog.

This all started on Wednesday with a swollen and sore elbow. This ballooned up to the size of a tennis ball and the intensly dizzy head thing started and lasted for two days. After that came the head cold which converted into a chest cold.

And now I’m dizzy again.

It is very hard to think.

Plus, my whole family has been sick too. This has been a very hard week 🙁

We got a new dog two weeks ago. He came with the name Teddy, but it doesn’t really fit him. We like the name Trotsky cause he trots around. We are not really all that sure that we want to enter into the political fray by using that name, but may be forced into it by others. Silliness I know, but inevitable. I’ve never read Trotsky, and only know that he was a Marxist. So I went to http://www.marxists.org/archive/trotsky/ to find out a bit about him, and didn’t get much further than the first page because the dog looks kinda like Trotsky did. Hehehe. I think that settles it 🙂
