DUKE ST. BLOCK PARTY NOV.9, 2012

Why yes...we DO own the road. Settin' up on a windy Friday afternoon. We live on a dead end street. This was the 2nd year for the dinner. Our first since we weren't living here last year.

The wind died down around dusk. Robert (our neighbor to the east) getting ready. He and his wife (Sylvia) are WONDERFUL! They help us with plants & pets when we are out of town. She is a teacher and he is the computer wizard at the high school. Robert supplied the music, tiki torches, table, chairs etc. etc.

Yeah man....Ray's Bar-B-Q out by the lake can make some damn great brisket!!!! We also had sausage, beans, corn, potato salad, dips-n-chips, bread, cole slaw, cookies, cake etc. etc.

It was fun to meet our neighbors. That's our landlords Miriam (on the R. w/ the pole coming out of her head) and Fernando (in the green shirt)...they teach at the local Jr. College. They live next door to us on the west side.

I forgot what this called but isn't it pretty? It's shredded jicama & cucumber w/ pineapple on top. Then you drizzle on some tajin type sauce and add some "kibbles and bits"...which I think was dates and something crunchy.

After we got done eating lots of the folks went home and got their dogs. Well, 4 of us did...it was our 2, Robert's 2 dachshunds, another dachshund & a chihuahua. I should've gotten a neighborhood pet picture. My pictures aren't very good...but we had a very nice time!
