Sticky Buns

We had a real adventure tonight, making barbecue buns, Chinese style for dinner. Last Sunday night I grilled a pork shoulder roast and Kay decided to get creative tonight with the leftovers. One of her favorite things to do when we go to Seattle is visit a Chinese restaurant at about noon on Sunday for "dim sum". Basically you eat appetizers, which are served table to table on carts. When each cart comes by you pick what you want and how many, and you just keep ordering until you are totally stuffed. One of the staples is a homemade biscuit with barbecued pork in the the center. Kay found a recipe on line and the result would very likely be able to bring Chairman Mao back from the grave. It was absolutely fantastic.

Here it is, Thursday night, and the weekend is rapidly approaching. This is going to be a busy weekend, but then again they all seem to be, with Gladys' 100th birthday party on Saturday, followed by Sunday morning church services and a Reformation service on Sunday afternoon at 4:00pm. I am going to be the emcee at the birthday party, so I have to come up with a bunch of 100 year old jokes. I have only lived about half that long so a 50 year old joke just won't do! I am sure that I will come up with something, but any input from you would be most appreciated.

There is more rain coming in late tonight and tomorrow. I would like to be able to go to a high school football game tomorrow evening. Gonzaga Prep, Beth's alma mater, is playing at Central Valley. It should be a good game but if it looks like I will have to sit in the rain I will sit it out. I really like high school football, but I don't like it so much that I am willing to drown in a cold rain.
