Grandpa Pete

This is my grandpa Pedro "Pete" Martinez, born in 1920. He was oprhaned as a small child and left to fend for himself in Laredo. Not long after this photo was taken, he enlisted in the Army during WW2 and served his country. He was married for over 50 years to my grandmother and raised a daughter and five sons (who all served in the military). He was a strong, tough as nails, hardworking man, a jack of all trades, with a great sense of humor and indomitable spirit. They don't make people like him anymore.

That's plenty

"Anyway, like I was sayin', the radish is the fruit of the soil.

You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's uh, radish-kabobs, radish creole, radish gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried.

There's pineapple radish, lemon radish, coconut radish, pepper radish, radish soup, radish stew, radish salad, radish and potatoes, radish burger, radish sandwich.

That -- that's about it."

Those radishes look great

Think of the garnish they'll make.
