We turned it down quite a bit after our big trip last weekend.\u00a0 Just can’t hold that pace at our age.\u00a0 Friday we went down to the good ol’ Brooksider, which is something of a rarity lately.\u00a0 That’s probably a good thing though, because it makes it seem funner when we do go.\u00a0 And, case in point, we must have been having fun because we stayed a lot longer than we intended.\u00a0 Actually we’d gotten up and were walking out the door when we ran into one of our old neighbors and ended up staying a few more hours.\u00a0 That was a night-ender;\u00a0 We finally left around 7:30, went home and watched the rest of the Royals game on the couch.<\/p>\n
Saturday we moped around the house until it got good and hot, and then went on a motorcycle ride.\u00a0 We were headed for the Lee’s Summit Perkins to get some breakfast, but when we realized it was 11:30 we changed plans and went to Fiesta Azteca in Raytown for some lunch.\u00a0 That’s my favorite place for Mexican food lately.\u00a0 I like the big menu for one thing…\u00a0 Most places I have one, possibly two items I’ll order every time, but at this place I have a rotation of like 5 things to choose from.\u00a0 So far my bottom-line favorites are the carnitas burrito and the chile relleno burrito.\u00a0 The latter option is quite interesting;\u00a0 It’s a chile relleno (and a good one at that) rolled up in a flour tortilla with beans.\u00a0 OK, maybe not the healthiest option in the city, but good<\/strong>.\u00a0 After lunch we rode around a bit longer, stopping by Knobtown Cycle<\/a> to look at some helmets and then meandering around a while longer before ending up at home a few hours later.\u00a0 Maybe it was the hot weather, but we never recovered from the ride;\u00a0 The rest of the afternoon was spent laying on the couch watching television.\u00a0 For evening entertainment we went to Starlight to see “The Wizard of Oz” for the fifth time.\u00a0 It wasn’t a bad show, but I pretty much knew what was going to happen.\u00a0 The element of surprise was definitely lost.\u00a0 It was a relatively nice evening out though, and ended up being the first show this season that I had to stay for the whole thing.\u00a0 Errr, I mean “got to” stay for the whole thing.<\/p>\n Sunday afternoon was spent smoking a small brisket.\u00a0 Not too much to go over there;\u00a0 Put on some coals, played with the dogs, listened to the Royals…\u00a0 A nice relaxing day.\u00a0 I am determined to practice a bit more for the upcoming barbecue “season” so this was my first effort to that end.\u00a0 I took notes every hour or so on the temperature, when I added heat, etc, so maybe all that info will pay off.\u00a0 The Martins came over for dinner, but we didn’t even try the brisket so I don’t really know how this attempt turned out.\u00a0 It went straight from the smoker to the ‘fridge.\u00a0 It’s on the menu for Tuesday night so I guess I have something to look forward to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We turned it down quite a bit after our big trip last weekend.\u00a0 Just can’t hold that pace at our age.\u00a0 Friday we went down to the good ol’ Brooksider, which is something of a rarity lately.\u00a0 That’s probably a good thing though, because it makes it seem funner when we do go.\u00a0 And, case […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-211","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
