First off, can we take a minute to discuss how delicious Short Ribs are?

If you love pot roast. You have to love short ribs.

They are a pot roast’s equally delicious cousin. They come equipped with a fun little “handle” (a.k.a. da bone).

The first recipe I tried that “hooked” me on how special short ribs are, is this one from The Pioneer Woman.

Hello. Stick a fork in me. I’m done!

These short ribs get slow cooked with the most delicious smoky and slightly spicy tomato sauce.

Full of flavor with the help of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, crushed tomatoes, orange juice, cumin, oregano, and garlic.

Once the short ribs have cooked and are falling-apart tender, shred the meat, sandwich it between two flour tortillas, and a handful of shredded cheese.

Brown it all in a skillet with some butter.

Then top with all your favorite Mexican food “condiments”.

A.k.a…. Salsa, Sour Cream, and of course, a healthy helping of Guac!

I’m incredibly blessed that in my job I have the I’m incredibly blessed that in my job I have the opportunity to meet and get to know many different groups of people from every walk of life, but occasionally… there are certain ones who find a special place in your heart.

A gentleman I’ve been working with sent met copies of this in the mail yesterday and to say I (ugly) cried is probably an understatement. 

I’m not one to push politics (especially on social media) but all I want to say is this is why history matters. Your not going to find this sort of thing written in text books… but it is in the hearts and minds of a generation quickly fading away.

What is happening in the world is not just “news”. These are people’s lives. See the pain and affect this sort of war still has on a generation 75 plus years later. 

Context:
Picture 1- Poem written by my clients grandfather sometime after his son (client’s father) was KIA in WWII. The line that got me was… “It is just a sweet memory that chants the refrain… I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.” 😭 I think if you have ever lost someone dear to you… you can understand that line ❤️

Picture 2-3- Note from client to me on a copy of his dad’s obituary. I think it’s easy to sense how this sort of loss had an affect on multiple generations of a family.

Buy yourself the flowers. Light the ‘good’ ca Buy yourself the flowers.

Light the ‘good’ candle.

Put on a spritz of your favorite perfume, not because you are going out, but because it makes you feel special.

Open the expensive bottle of wine that you’ve been saving for the ‘perfect’ occasion, and drink it for no particular reason at all. 

Stop saying “we need to get together” to a dear friend and then never actually making plans.
Leave your sweatpants on, messy bun in, and just BE with each other. Curl up on the couch with their dogs, kids, etc and enjoy some leftover Chinese food while catching up on your favorite shows.

Life is messy and real. 
Stop living FOR the perfect and just LIVE.
Don’t wait.
Make the memories WITHIN the mess. 

That’s the mindset I’m trying to live in these days, and you know what? 

I’m happier for it! ❤️
