Here’s the beef

Leave a comment

Saturday, I found the gift card I got for Xmas from my better half to the local pit beef stand called The Canopy. I had a taste for a pit beef sandwich with BBQ and tiger sauce on it, an order of fries and their coleslaw is great so an order of that also.

Sorry, I get excited about food. And we like The Canopy and have been going there for decades. My better half said her pit turkey sandwich was the best she’s ever had.

When Mission BBQ opened just a few hundred feet down the road a few years back, I thought this might be a serious challenge to them. But The Canopy seems as strong as ever though. I’d rather support local businesses than chains. Not that I haven’t been to Mission BBQ a few times.

I’ve got to come up with a few menu items for the coming week. I’d like to cook at least 2-3 dinners a week. This is a busy week coming up for my better half.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • Do you ever feel you’re being tested without knowing it.
  • I don’t like it when my better half doesn’t feel her best.
  • I’m surprised to still see trees standing with the number of sticks and branches down.
  • Progress during difficult times is even more rewarding.
  • I’m thinking about all the people in harm’s way now because one man has an ego problem. And what is this going to war without Congress approval? Maybe that body of our government could grow a pair and get control of the situation. Of course, that should have happened long ago, but they advocated their power. The sad part is it’s just a distraction for the ills at home and the Epstein mess.
