Some good things I can do real good

My race report from TN this weekend will be coming shortly; I don't consider coming in 2cd by 12 seconds a good thing I do...

This year has been a good year for race t-shirts. Early in the season MJ and I got a decent ringer T at the Rhetts Run race, one I actually wear occasionally. Next up was a pretty cool simple T from the NRC race I did in Arkansas where the promoter told me he would mail me one... Not only did he actually do it but it's a cool, simple design and I wear that one even more. The Rapture in Misery shirt is cool and black. Need I say more? Black t's make the rotation frequently.

Then came my chance to design a T for the Burnin'. There is only one guy that likes the things I do as much as I do. John Hairyfella likes him some kitties, Eye of the Tiger, flames and Metallica. We went on a vision quest and there was no stopping us from designing the coolest race t shirt ever. If you got one, you know.

Next up on the Awesomeness scale would be my guacamole and sweet potato cheeken quesa-dillas. Both of these delicacies have reached the point of perfection. The guacamole is more of taste thing so I can't count on getting the point across, but I will share the quesa-dillas with you-
-marinate cheeken in GOYA Dominican marinade for a day and throw on the grill at low temp for 10 mins a side
-cube a large sweet potato (1/2") and put on a low boil for 10 minutes or so (you want to be able to squish it with a fork)
-when done mix with some black beans, the chopped cheeken, cilantro, little salt and some diced jalapenos if you are going to half ass it and not make the guac
-warm up a griddle or flat surface of some sort
-put some olive oil on a paper towel and pat one side of a Buena Vida whole grain tortilla
-put on skillet and add as much of a Mexican cheese blend as you want
-add mixture to top of cheese, another layer of cheese, and the other tortilla top (pat down with olive oil.
- now you want to flatten this thing out with a spatula or your hand. the sweet potatoes crush and taste almost like the cheese.
-now don't burn it
