I missed yesterday because of nachos, brats, beer, and a baby.

And I knew I would.
But I only knew I would miss yesterday's post at 8pm when I felt like passing out.

Yesterday was my baby sister's birthday.  

I keep forgetting that, though she's almost 10 years younger than me, she's still an adult. In my head, she's still my baby sister, running around with her little friends and doing what they do.  

In fact, what was in my head never happened.  

She invited over one friend and her friend's fiance.  
She asked me to slow cook some ribs, make brats, and nachos.  

I acquiesced to her demands. I know that if she continues to experience how good a cook her brother is, any guy she might want to date will have a stringent standard to beat.  

Well, dinner turned out great. We enjoyed bratwurst, bread that I baked a day before, nachos, beer, and chocolate chip cookies that I baked earlier - the gooey kind with flakey sea salt.  

Looking back on yesterday, I didn't see my baby sis, I saw a woman trying to do something each day better than the day before. She's not always great at it, but she gets up and goes for the brass ring.  

I'd cook for her any day.  

Happy Birthday, Babes!

(I call her Babes because she's my baby sister. And she's a cry baby LOL!)

Also, here's a recipe for nachos.

  • Sautee minced meat of any kind with onions, chilis, and anything else that you like that sautees well.

  • Add spices to your taste.

  • Melt cheese on top of it. You get to use whatever cheese suits you - I use blue.  

  • Enjoy with any suitable service delivery item - such as chips, a spoon, or your hands.  

The best part of this recipe, you get to make it how you like it!

Also, the above picture is not Babes. But, it represents how she’d love to spend each day.
