Friday the 13th

I have not written in a while, have been busy with work and side projects.  We had a nice Veteran's Day BBQ this year, we cooked some spicy cajun sausages, steaks, baked potatoes, frijoles de la olla, dirty cajun rice, roasted veggies and some home made super garlic-y bread.  Every one had a great time.  All you need is some great food, refreshing cold beers, good tunes, great company and by all means some old school moves to elevate the moment from memorable to epic.  As I grow comfortably into myself the realization that as time goes by, friends, better yet friendships are like hair on some sets of heads. For some they start losing them straight after high school, others not after college or marriage, few keep them strong and healthy, most  start to thin out over time but rarely does one grow them back or make new ones, easily.  Here's a thought, cherish and nourish the hair on your head, the friends you have and just made for you will be very happy you did.

On a side note~~~~~~~~~~

So I just realized it's Friday the 13th...and what no Freddy Krueger or Michael Myers movies?  I figure it's close enough to Halloween, but I guess they release them through out the year now.  Hmmmm....

After Thought~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is such a nice chill in the air, the kind of chill that triggers the craving for comforting foods, drinks and movies.  What I would give for a nice bowl of Minestrone with a side of French bread with aioli and a nice glass of Chianti or Sangiovese.  Bread is such an instrumental source of comfort, like a blanket wrapped firmly to keep out moisture or like a sponge to sop up the unspoonable concoction left on your soup bowl.  I miss the cool weather of Northern California and I trully appreciate it when it honors us with its presence here in Southern California.  I will never take a cool breeze for granted ever again.
