Well that was a pretty damned good weekend all around. Quality time with my girls, and also met loads of people that, hitherto, were mere avatars.
If I had to choose my favorite part, I think it would have to be either throwing ice down Karlas top or else Cori's Nametag Initiative.
Thanks go to Grant and Blaine, both of whom were handy boys to have about the place, and also to the people who brought ridiculous quantities of food.
Meredith says Blaine has a reeeealllll purty mouth.
One side effect to all the shenanigans was that both of my scheduled weekend rides got cancelled. Between starting a new job, and SG Canada day, this is the first week I have spun under 300k in 5 years. It's making me walk funny.
Todays cooking moment: several people commented on the chili mayo. I would love to regale you all with wild tales of how it was laboriously whisked up from scratch, but honestly it's just a good quality real-egg mayo, with sambal oelek chile paste mixed in to taste.
It's really good if you use it to make ***salad sandwiches, where ***= eggs, or chicken, or shrimp, or whatever. It's also really good with french fries, instead of ketchup. It's an old chefs buffet trick, but it works.

In other news however, I like to work with sambel oelek and mayonnaise too. The way I make my shrimp salad is I mix 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp cilantro, 5tsp lime juice, 2 tsp mango chutney, and 3/4 tsp sambal oelek in a bowl, before adding my shrimp and mixing it all up. It should give off a "spunky and sour" taste. It can also serve as a filling for things like baked wonton wrappers or simply just putting it on a cracker. Er, try it at your own risk?
