Fast Eddie's Mahi Tacos

Growing up in a very small town, we did things a little different.  Car tag, lion's den, kick the can were all games that the whole town would play late into the evenings.  There wasn't things to worry about like there are now.  Society is much angrier now and people want what you have and, are not afraid to come into your house and take it.  This is an unfortunate side effect of not knowing who your neighbors are and being too inclusive, exclusive or self indulged.  I feel for the parents of close friends in our little town who used to leave the keys in their cars but, now, have to deadbolt their door due to snatch and grab idiots too self indulged in their next fix or their own boredom to care about their neighbors.

Great things however, come from our little town too.  Things like how to genuinely mean Hello when we say it and strength in faith.  Sundays were made for church and family and... in my circle of friends... BASKETBALL!  Not just on Sundays but, everyday.  It was our outlet, it was our life.  It was kinda the Sandlot for our generation of Brilliant-ites.  3 basketballs and 4 pairs of shoes were average purchases each year as we grew up.  We went from watching the high school kids and randomly getting chances to run with the big boys to becoming the big boys, giving the younger kids thier "breaks".  It was a right of passage.  I am thankful for Brilliant and for the fun little things we did to keep busy.  Although, life isn't the same there now, there are moments that are undeniably small town USA.

Cheers!

This recipe goes out to one of my fellow gym rats, Ed Nest, who, has always had the spirit of life!  Thanks Ed for being that guy that has always been original.
