Isn't interesting that the folks from So Cal name their freeways the the article "the" in front of it. How does it look on the 15? The I5 is crowded this time of day.
The Pacheco was not crowded last night and it was a clear sail over the mountain and home to Merced. There was significant wind that could have caused some issues with graduation ceremonies.
We had been over to Morgan Hill to support my sister Mikie Sue. Mom cooked up a batch of wonderful chicken noodles with the mashed potatoes and frozen peas to go with. The crowd was grateful for the lemon bars and Zuke cake for dessert. It was sure great to the Cammie and my sisters and parents. Sue came along too and enjoyed the company.
We had a bite of Cmmmie's coconut pineapple cake too. Ohh La la.. we need the recipe for that gem. She made it in mini loaf pans, my it was good.
This morning I caught a short shot of semi homemade, a television show on cooking hosted by none other that Sara Lee. She was making short ribs in the crockpot on a bed of celery and carrots. Short ribs are not a common dinner selection at our house. So I walked over to the grocery store and bought a crock pot full of them. They ae now slow cooking away and should be ready by 5or 6 o'clock tonight. She browned them first and dropped them into a crockpot with a couple of stalks of celery and a package of mini prewashed carrots on the bottom. A box of beef stock went over the works.
They looked pretty marbled in the store and even on today's special they were 2.95 a pound.
We shall see.
Big Brown is set to run today. Quite a story if you read back a few posts. Today a 2 pm is the running to the Belmont. If Big Brown wins we will have the first triple crown winner since the 70's.
