A few odds and ends to wrap up the weekend.

Well this week I found out that the one place I just found that sells italian suasage is up for sale. Appearently in this housing market of fast profits they want their share. I am BUMMED! My traditional Italian Sunday dinners might be in jeapordy, but alas not to worry. The internet holds the cure for all things. I found a few recipes and am goint to try to make it myself. After first finding recipes for 100lbs of pork(arghhhh) I got scared but then I ran across a couple with only 3 lbs and 1 lb so that will work perfect for a family of 4 and soon to be 5. I am becoming a Jack of all trades here. I guess that is what Mexico does to one.
While sorting through laundry this morning an old friend of mine returned to greet me. We have an iguana that is about 2 1/2 feet long(an adolescent I suppose) that sits atop our wall in the back and suns himself. He popped his head up to make sure I was sorting the coloreds correctly and then rested it again in the sun. I named him Rocky. He just looks like one.
And I recently received an email from an old friend and former boss of mine Jim K. which was great to hear from again. Hi if you are reading this Jim.
Saturdays make me long for my Saturdays back in the states where I would watch Mexico One Plate at a Time and later Lydia's Italian Kitchen. MAN I miss PBS!!! Also I miss Coconut Fred, which was a cartoon Oscar and I would watch on Saturday mornings together. (luckily I have a lot of those on my Tivo I brought down.)
OK that is it. One last word of wisdom;
The Pope, Billy Graham, and Oral Roberts were in a plane crash over the Pacific Ocean. They all died and went to heaven together.

"Oh, this is terrible," exclaims St. Peter, "I know you guys think we summoned you here, but this is just one of those coincidences that happen. Since we weren't expecting you, your quarters just aren't ready... We can't take you in and we can't send you back...."

Then he got an idea. He picked up the phone, "Lucifer, this is Pete. Hey, I got these three guys up here. They're ours, but we weren't expecting them, and we gotta fix the place up for 'em. I was hoping you could put them up for a while. It'll only be a couple of days. What d'ya say?"

Reluctantly, the Devil agreed.

However, two days later, St. Peter got a call.

"Pete, Lu. Hey, you gotta come get these three clowns.
This Pope fellow is forgiving everybody,
the Graham guy is saving everybody,
and that Oral Roberts has raised enough money to buy air conditioning."

-Mom I am praying for ya. Love, Mike

one of my own guilty pleasures is watching Rick Bayless every Saturday. It drives my wife and daughter crazy that I watch someone cooking Mexican food that is from Tulsa and lives in Chicago. (they are from Mexico City.) Enjoy your blog
