Here's the picture I submitted with my recipe to a national recipe contest.  The title is what people say when they taste it. (seriously)

I was looking through my Picasa library to find a new pic for my Facebook profile and found this.  As much as I complain about all the watering I have to do, I love my yard and deck in the summer.  It looks very different today with overnight temp of 15 F.

This is my new Hansgrohe kitchen faucet that my OH gave me for Christmas.  It is sooo much better than the old one!  Pull out sprayer and very tall spout so I can get large pans under it easily.

This is my second try, and it rolled much more easily than the first.  I think because the pork belly was thinner.  Also this time, I purchased fresh juniper berries which made a tremendous difference, and I increased the herbs.  It is still drying, but I cut off a piece and used it to make spaghetti carbonara to test it.

My Christmas Cactus is quite old, I don't even remember when or where I got it.  This year it is about 3 feet in diameter, and covered in blooms.  I keep it on a covered deck all summer, until we are about to have our first hard frost, then bring it inside to a room that isn't used very much.  When it is about to bloom I bring it downstairs and put it on the plant stand to show it off.
