Brazilian Beef Kabobs with Pineapple and Peppers, also known as Churrasco, a traditional Brazilian barbecue dish that has become a world-wide trend in Brazilian restaurants, but these are so easy to do at home don’t worry if you don’t have the opportunity to make it to a pricey restaurant.

You can make enough of these to feed a crowd for what it would cost for one person to walk into one of those restaurants. Which is fine if you can afford it, but it’s not often we want to pay a small fortune to eat out if it’s something we can make at home.

On a personal note, if you’ve wondered what I’ve been up to lately….

<start rant>

We inherited a teenager. My grand daughter moved in with us back in December in her senior year at high school. So needless to say things have been unexpectedly busy these last few months, with her not knowing anyone since she was living in a different state for the last ten years.

We had a lot of catching up to do, as well as getting her ready for Prom and Graduation. Plus she doesn’t drive or ever had a job. But is the typical teenager; with a phone in her hand and ear plug in her ear or playing a game on the Playstation all the time.

When my kids were teens, pagers were a new thing, so it has been a bit of a crazy time for us to get used to and try to get her to experience life. Now I understand why you hear so many people say that “adulting is hard.” They haven’t had to do anything for themselves.

It’s a shock to the system when they realize that they’re 18 and suppose to know what they want in life. They don’t have a clue, because what they really want is to play games and read memes. Why should they want to do something for themselves, if their parents hand them everything under the sun?

They’ve got absolutely no appreciation for any of it, if they don’t have to work for anything. Just saying it’s pretty frighting to be coming of age with no particular direction. Seriously they don’t even have to remember a phone number are read an analog clock, think about it.
