Weekend Wanderings

Well its been a few days, had bloggers block...hmm yeah that's the ticket. Yesterday did the food shopping,errand thing after a fun filled morning at the weekend job. Production and beach traffic reports on three stations oh my! Well actually it was two stations,they started a new person on the third station. Um how new...He didn't know the station request line...yikes.
Yesterdays trip destinations, a gas station,East Bay (I think...have to learn to eat something in the morning)Ice Company,two Targets,A Sams,Lowes,Shaws(wow dad, I didn't know that is the way to tell if an ear of corn is good),and Stop&Shop. Why all of the errands, well my nephew/godson was having his cookout/birthday celebration, so we had to pick up some ice, plus replenish the supply of food & charcoal that came from our house and was sent over to the cookout. (the cookout was held at a friend of the familys house,they have a bigger yard) Picked up some Corn On the Cob(must've been a bad crop,because the ears were kind of small,which meant a lot of picking) I thought I was going to use it at the house, u know grill it, but pops thought it was for the birthday/cookout thingee so off that went. Its on sale this week so I can get more. I never did make it to the cookout. Too tired,I think the hours spent in traffic Thursday finally caught up with me. You know traffic is bad when it takes 15-20+minutes just to get to my street from Skippys. (usually 5 minutes or less).
Well its the middle of the long weekend. Here's a question for yall,"How do you find out if you're supposed to work on the holiday?" By going the day before and see if there is a sign up saying the store is closed for the holiday! Huzzahs to fearless leader for making use of dead tree technology. Wouldn't want to use that new fangled thingee called a telephone
Today looks like a simple menu of grilled boneless chicken breast,seasoned with a St Louis style rub,some fresh cole slaw (red wine vinegar & oil style) some kind of potato,and some collard greens. Tomorrow looks like grilled beef back ribs (the small bbq ready kind) and who knows what else. Remember last week when I mentioned I grilled some Italian turkey sausage,roasted some red peppers,and whole onions. Well I sliced up the sausage,sliced up the onions,peeled the roasted and sliced the roasted peppers, put em in a roasting pan added some vegetable stock mixed w corn starch,tossed em in the oven to warm up and served it over some couscous (first time making and tasting couscous) was pretty good I must say and hey the rest of the family is still alive,so that must be a good sign.
