Hey Pagey!   We're gearing up for a series of parties this week and next. My eldest sister will have her birthday this Friday, my brother on Saturday and my niece next Tuesday.

How's your family?

When I was in fourth grade, I did my best to draw a whale breaching, but when my classmates saw my drawing, they asked "why is that whale flying out of the water?"

Sounds busy, but I'm sure it will be fun. I'm marinating a pork roast to make carnitas tacos tomorrow. Max also has ballet after school.

Better than my first attempt at drawing a whale; the other kids said "It looks like a wee-wee without the head."

Not my problem.  

I notice that all you busy laughing don't live downwind of the fallout.

Hello young Albert

They are getting there. The fire near my nephew’s school is under control and he had to go back today.

The fire near sister and dad is a bit more contained. Not quite there but the reduced temps should help a lot.

still keeping fingers crossed

Fingers crossed B.

Great minds think alike.  I made it for dinner last night.  The recipe I used said to marinate the beef in the wine 24 hours before cooking.  It was good, but the meat definitely had a strong taste of red wine.  If I do it again, I think I will find a different recipe.

If you liked the flavor otherwise consider reducing the marinade time by half.

Hi Dugh, To do that, do I add beef broth to dilute the wine? Or, do I reduce the time it is in the marinade?

That's because it ain't their problem, Sexy.

Either would work, though I would go with a shorter time. Part of the reason for the wine is/was so the acids in could tenderize the beef so if you're using a tougher cut of beef the longer marinade time matters. However, a long slow braise does the same thing.

Sawasdee Khrup Terry. I am and I am not, it was a somewhat difficult night. Today is a chill wet day and I feel the weather. The achiness in my head is like the tide, it ebbs and flows though in truth I fear it may become more like a tempest as the day progresses. Storms too eventually pass. Thank you for your kindness in asking.

I am sending you my best wishes and hope that you are feeling better.  I hope as the weather improves you will have less and less problems.  Hugs and kisses for Mom and you.
