Good Luis thanks for asking!
Day off but super busy with errands.
Had to put up a Christmas tree at the Cafe this morning.
We help sponsor a toys for kids drive and also a gift for seniors drive with tags on a tree.
People get the tag and bring in a gift.
Trying to teach my youngest son how to drive. He's not scaring me like he did. ;)
 
It's simple hahaha, beef sirloin steak, onion, garlic and different chopped chili peppers, black pepper and salt, what I do is seal it first with a little oil and after the meat is sealed, I add cooking wine over and I low the heat so that it cooks well inside, when the cooking wine evaporated I put it to brown a little and that's it ;)
You're hired I need help....
I'll pick you up @3 AM....

Oh Luis that's so nice!
You're such a great person!
We're good.
Most of the tags will be gone in a couple of days. Our clientele average age is about 65, most of whom retired here and they love this tree!
But that's so, so sweet of you !You're such a great kid!

Hey Joel, I don't want to push you to do anything you don't want to do so please don't think you're required to do this but I'd love to see you up for voting for the Mariner of the Month:

To accept my nomination you have to post a picture of yourself, a picture of your tank, a link to this thread, and answer the question of the month: What is your dream aquarium?
 
Top o' the morning to you! Wait, that's not British... Oh well, cheerio!

Flying home in a bit. Ready to get back. Just have to pop out to take some pics for @fishguy242 ! I'll post foodie shots, too.
 
Hubbs ate my lunch for his supper last night so no foodie pics from me.

It was just a cheap bbq sammich but they’re tasty little things.
Love me some bbq in those Hawaiian bread rolls. Another thing I love is leftover roast in a roll then dipping the whole thing in the juice--it's not elegant, not really dignified, but it's sooo good!
