He and my mom both attended Fairfax High School in Los Angeles during the 50's and grew up on Pink's Hot Dogs. My sister and I decided to treat him to some tastes from his past, so I arranged to buy 5 lbs. of Pinks chili and transported it with all of the fixings to Prescott.
My sister found the recipe for Azeka's famous short-ribs, one of our family's favorites from the 13 years my parents lived on Maui. She met with my parents last week in Albuquerque and delivered 7 lbs. of ribs and the marinade. Brodie, Nik and I will be the unwitting beneficiaries of Robin's gift, because that's what we're having for dinner tonight!
Pinks for lunch, Azeka's for dinner; My dad thinks this is a pretty good food day.
