Ron turns 70 with old-school food

My dad turned 70 this week and I travelled with Brodie and Nik to Prescott to help celebrate.

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.
