This recipie is from his home town!! San Pedro Sula

San Pedro Sula Simmered Beef
Use this as a decilious taco or tortilla filling.  I have worked and worked with this recipe until I am satisfied.  My guests seem to be as well.

(6) Servings

1 lb. bottom round of beef (any good cut will work).  Trim any excess fat
2 T. olive oil
1 small chopped onion
4 cloves minced garlic – (we are heavy on garlic; you can back off)
1/8 C white flour
1 can (14-15 oz.) stewed tomatoes (preferably with green chilis)
1 can (7 oz.) diced green chilis (fresh is even better – poblanos are mild and work well)
1 jalapeño – diced (carefully washing hands after dicing)
¼ C water
1/4 C red wine (increase water amount above if you as a 'purist' choose not to use wine)
½ t. oregano
1/2 t cumin
Salt to taste.  Don't overdo.  If you are using canned vegetables, often the salt from them is sufficient.

Cut meat into 1 inch pieces.  Brown meat in olive oil. Add onion and garlic, cooking until soft.

Sprinkle the flour over the browned meat; cook 2 minutes. Then, add remaining ingredients.  Stir. Cover and simmer on very low for 1 to 1.5 hours, checking and adding water/wine as needed. Stir occasionally (every time you yell at the kids seems to work well).

To serve, garnish with sour cream (or plain, unsweetened yogurt) on tortillas/tacos with cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, your favorite finishings.

When you act in haste, the solution can end up being worse than the so-called problem. When you manage your impatience more skillfully, you see positive results. Allow the situation to evolve, and then take action.

Bill Cosbys funnest joke in my opinion

It was because of my father that from the ages of seven to fifteen, I thought that my name was Jesus Christ and my brother, Russell, thought that his name was Dammit. "Dammit, will you stop all that noise?" And, "Jesus Christ, sit down!" One day, I'm out playing in the rain, and my father yelled, "Dammit will you get back in here!" I said, "Dad, I'm Jesus Christ!"

ALAN JACKSON: little bitty

Chorus:
Well it’s alright to be little bitty
Little hometown or a big ol’ city
Might as well share, might as well smile
life goes on for a little bitty while
A little bitty baby and a little bitty gown
It’ll grow up in a littly bitty town
Big yellow bus and little bitty books
It all started with a littly bitty look
Chorus
You know you’ve got a job and a little bitty chick
Six-pack of beer and a television set
Little bitty world goes around and around
Little bit of silence and little bit of sound
A good ol boy and a pretty little girl
Start all over in a little bitty world
Little bitty plan and a little bitty dream
It’s all part of a little bitty scheme

exciting weekend

Friday night my horse got out.  I found her the next morning on the other side of the fence. So I jumped on her bareback and was riding her to put her back in the pasture she slipped and fell on my hips. Then she used the back part of my leg to stand up with.
I and my mother argued about going to the doctor.  She then convinced me to go and we stay there from 1 pm to midnight. They did a CT scan and said everything was fine.

College Acceptance Letter

An event that thoroughly changed my life was when I ‘stole’ my horses.  It gave me many qualities, or should I say brought out my many qualities.  Some of those qualities are my passion, creativeness, and stubbornness.

My passion for my horses, which I cared so much about, could have easily been looked at insanity.  My horses were supposedly being starved, so I would not stand by and do nothing.  The man that was supposed to be caring for them was a very terrifying man.  My mother was so scared that she would not go up there to get them herself.  So I snuck up there and took them myself and two other friends.  I was also willing to fight the cold February night air to get them away from there.  When it was all said and done, I accepted my punishment, strict grounding until summer, and never complained once.

My creative side came out in many areas throughout our journey.  We couldn’t figure out how we were to get them out of the pasture, because the only gate was near the man’s house.  I deiced that we need to cut the fence and go out the back.  Then it became very cold when the sun went down.  We could not start a fire because it would have cause to much attention.  I gathered up pine needles and covered us with them.  Then the wind began to pick up and blow under the pine needle and blow them all around.  I knew we were near a veterinarian clinic, so we moved the horses there inside the barn.  We were going to camp in the hay loft.  Then the police pulled in behind us.

I am a very strong-willed person.  Even though I was terrified by being caught by the police, I held my head high and didn’t show them how scared I truly was.  In my mind I had done nothing wrong and no one could convince me otherwise.  Although I knew my actions a server consequence, I still did not let that deter me from what I felt was right.  My stubbornness help give me courage to stand up to what I believed in.

In conclusion, when I believe in something I will pursue it until the end.  The qualities about myself that I take pride in are my stubbornness, my creativeness, and my passion.  A great quote by Joan Jett states, “I think I was born strong-willed.  That’s not the kind of thing you can learn.  The advantage is you stick to what you believe in and rarely get pushed out of what you want to do.”
