I'm not in Canada, but I am and will be watching hockey all day. That and getting the yard hurricane-ready. Oh yeah, and eating a shit-ton of homemade tamales. Enjoy your day outdoors, sounds lovely!

Sports is back! I am so very happy about that too.

Hawks won and I got in a bike ride. Yep, a good day.

I fucking love tamales. Best: Curra's Grill, Austin, Texas - especially after a big Saturday night.

Can't really get any good ones in these parts, so homemade it is.

Got any good recipes or secret tips?

Before I make tamales though, and before I die, I need to learn how the taco trucks always make the best chicken tacos. I almost learned the secret in Oakland.

I keep waiting for someone to make /s/Recipes.

I'm the sous-chef in the house so I'm not the best person to ask. We do southern-ize our tamales and use pulled pork that we smoke for the meat. We get a ton of meals out of all that (the pulled pork, then the tamales). We keep the tamales really simple: masa, pork, pepper sauce and steam in a husk. We serve with more pepper sauce, a little queso, salsa, and sour cream.

Our food trucks leave a lot to be desired...I did see one that specialized in British food down by the boat ramp a couple weeks back and it left me wondering who would eat that fare and why there.

Sorry for completely derailing this topic.

I went out and flew my FPV drones with my best friend. Then I met up with my girl was we went to the beach boardwalk in Seaside NJ. Lots of people out having fun on the boardwalk.

I found a random cornhole game setup at the pier and my girl started playing each other. Another couple asked if him and his wife could challenge us. We took the challenge and won. Was pretty fun. Not that it matters, but I'm a white dude, the couple whom challenged us were black and my girlfriend is Puerto Rican. I say this because as much as "they" try to make it seem that the world is burning and try to incite a race war, when you step away from the TV, there is a sense of community and normalcy outside in many places.

Anyways, hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Refreshing quaintness for the wistful like a cool summers breeze. Thanks for sharing.

Sunday, July 5th, we threw a party in the back. Tomorrow, Sunday, August 2nd, we were planning the same - first Sunday of each month - an Anti-Totalitarian Party, masks completely optional (zero last time, expecting the same). Unfortunately today it's raining (walking home from the grocery store was still pleasant) and tomorrow looks to be the same.

Watching hockey and F1. Everything being shut down has really ruined this year, can't afford to go do anything because our economy is fubar.
