Today is a beautiful Wednesday – mid week – and half-way through July. On the National Scene, today is Daiquiri Day. What is a Daiquiri? It’s a pirate drink – rum based, and usually fruity. Some days we are consumed with National Days, staying loyal to all that means.

This year as part of our Cinco de Mayo, we had the most awesome Carne Asada Taco Bar. As usual, I had far more marinated meat than we could possible use for one meal, even with family. Rather than cook it all up and have a few pounds of leftovers to deal with, we froze half of the Carne Asada meat for another day.
