I should let Saska blog this, but, just a hint of the tastiness that camping brings!

Cheese!!

The end of a peach crisp - this was made in the winter, from Greenbluff Peaches, and, man-oh-man, that peach smell was still something else. The dessert may not have been beautiful, but, it sure was tasty.

We hosted a quite small Thanksgiving in our home. Josh smoked a turkey. Smoking turns out to be a wonderful way to go - the turkey turned out really nicely, and was pretty low effort, and left the oven free.

We ended up with a nice spread, including some donations from Chris and George and Rachel. (Some of which aren't pictured here.)

We got to sit down to a wonderful meal, and a beautiful table, with great friends and family. Life doesn't get better than that!

On a whim i tried to capture my dad's green tomato pie that i remembered growing up with. Lacking a recipe (my dad couldn't access his), this was the result of some web searches and some improvisation. I hope to improve the quality next fall, but i think this one looks quite pretty.

this place sounds like fun

restaurant gossip

I feel a bit gossipy posting that, but, people who read this blog may care. I sure hope the quality of the restaurant stays up there, while wishing the owners the best individually. Its been too long since we all went and got happy on sherry.

This feels less gossipy, but also very very interesting:

Also, if you don't want me to post stuff like this, someone needs to upload more photos.
