Actually, Keri's sister, but since we are one, then I guess she is just as much my sister. Anyways, I love my sister Kasey. She lives out her faith as the mother of two beautiful girls and a counselor to many others. She is bright and funny, always up for a good laugh or a good cry. But, Kasey has one problem, she is not convinced of my love for her. To say that she is slightly more gregarious and extroverted than Keri is a more than fair statement. Thus, there has been this consistent undercurrent such that since I am madly in love with Keri and who she is, then I must have less then fond feelings for her more charismatic sister. Anyways, in spite of the lack of truth surrounding this idea, it has transformed in to a sort of on-going joke. So, to make a short story long, I sometimes needle and prod with ongoing jokes to magnify the absurdity. Not long ago, at a family gathering, I took another shot that is the point of this story. Kasey is a fine cook with an appreciation for gourmet food. Thus, I see it as my obligation in this situation to play the yokel, meat and potatoes, brother-in-law. As the story goes, one evening while the family was preparing dinner, Kasey made a comment about making some Pico De Gallo. In playing the yokel, I made some kind of "pico De What" comment or a "dont you go puttin none of that fancy schmancy on my food" kind of comment. Thus, Pico De Gallo became an on going joke exacerbating this goofiness that Kirk is annoyed with Kasey. Anyways, the other day, I heard a song that was the perfect peace offering to the hilarity of the Pico De Gallo saga. The song is at this link and is the first of the songs available at the bottom of the post. It is called "Mexican Rhapsody." Enjoy!

Didn't find the song was it at the link or on your blog? Didn't see it either place. Is it the please pass the cheese song?
The children really enjoy that CD.
Sorry about that, I think I got it fixed.
No, it is not the cheese song, I think it is better. Its a crazy place to learn that Pico De Gallo really means "beak of a rooster."
Cute post Kirk! I love both of those Kaeb girls :-) It is amazing that they can come out of the same genetic pool though :-)
If I remember right, Plattner, I believe your exact words were, "Pico de fresh salsa." This post has me smiling. It just may have begun to bridge the chasm between us. Love you, brother!!!
Loved the post! Loved your description of Kasey and loved the song! Keri and Kasey are so different but both so lovable!
Great song. And now I'm hungry for Mexican! :)
I'm pretty certain that I have the same joke going with my brother-in-laws, except they're not making any effort to write me a blog post or fill any chasms! ;D Consider yourself lucky, Kase! ;D
