No joke. He was one like Stephen King's father. But he did it to my mother and her sister in 1935/1936. He was a butcher by trade, originally from Beaconsfield/Launceston in Tasmania. Not much work back in 1936, two young daughters, his wife- my grandmother, ran a type of boarding house. Not a big one, maybe three people, just to get by during the depression.

My maternal grandfather is buried in New Zealand.

Where in NZ did he move to?

I am having family members in the city tomorrow. Great BBQ weather so I will have baby back ribs on the grill. Tonight I am prepping my marinaded veggie salad. Cut mushrooms, celery, broc and cauli, carrots, red onion, tomato, mushies,cukes in a vinegarette made from oil, red wine vinegar, spices, and some honey to cut the sour. I let it soak overnight. I will make some homemade rolls and potato salad,too.

\Oh Star- that meal sounds so awesome. Make the mouth water. Guess it's time to drag out the grill here too.

Thanks for the recipe!

Do you roll your own? (It's pretty cool. My Daddy made us all a double comal. Daddy was a welder. It fit over two burners. We can roll out flour tortillas at warp speed.)

Ever made chorizo refried beans? (Basically, a heart attack in a flour tortilla. Ha!)

Yep, but just one at a time :) That's the most time consuming part of real tortillas (and maybe most frustrating, if you insist on them being perfectly round at first). My husband would love the chorizo refried beans! I usually make unfried refried beans, to cut the fat content. Lots of flavour, but done in the food processor, then heated up. That's what I put as the 'meat' layer in my Mexican lasagne. I don't know how to make corn tortillas (which I use in place of the noodles), so I buy them at Rancho, right out of the cooker they have onsite.
