Food again

I know, I know - food posts are boring.  And I also know that most of my sisters think I eat really weird things.  Well, I'm almost through the 10 new things I had listed as a goal, so these are almost done! 

After our 10K race this morning, Nick and I cleaned up and headed back to the Plaza for their benefit for the local community center. 

Roast, corn, beans, roll, beer, live music, beautiful weather.  Only problem, poor Nick had to head right to work (and no, didn't drink the beer!), but it was a really nice Sunday.

So the food.  What animal do you think it is?  I'll give you a clue.

No?  Is this before your time? 

Dun, dun dun.... it's ox!  (Explanation for the random picture, I asked Nick "What type of animal is an ox exactly?  Like a cow?" -- brilliant question, I know -- and he said "No, it's its own animal, like on Oregon Trail.")  I guess ... I have never seen one?  I don't know.  I don't have much to say about oxen.  But now I've eaten one, it tasted like tri-tip steak and was fine.  Not necessarily something I'd need to repeat any time soon.

Did you know an ox was a real animal?  Have you ever seen one??
