Imagine my surprise when I encountered this scene while driving to my office this morning! Click to enlarge.
The weather was excellent throughout the weekend. It was very warm (high 80s) and sunny, and there was a gentle breeze. The birds sang with great abandon and obvious mirth.
Saturday morning, I made a marinade with teriyaki sauce, garlic powder, lime juice, brown sugar, molasses, and ground Cayenne pepper. I placed two thick top sirloin steaks, whole white mushrooms, sliced squash, and sliced red onion in a large, zip-seal bag, covered with the marinade, sealed, and placed in the refrigerator. Throughout the day, Laura turned the bag—ensuring that all was marinated well. Click images to enlarge.
Sunday evening, I grilled Tyson boneless, skinless chicken breasts that had marinated all day in Jack Daniels barbecue sauce, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and Crystal hot sauce. I made corn and diced red bell pepper and garlic mashed red potatoes for side dishes. Click images to enlarge.
Sunday evening, after dinner, we watch "The Case for Christ." [In this thought-provoking program, Lee Strobel—a former legal editor for the Chicago Tribune and a self-described atheist who became a Christian—shares the details of his spiritual quest and asks tough questions of a wide range of experts. Is the New Testament a reliable source? Did Jesus Christ in fact exist? Was he really the Son of God? And could Christ's resurrection have actually occurred?] I highly recommend this movie.
