For The Record

Eggrolls are NOT a good take-along food item.  Boy, were they sad and mushy when reheated in the microwave.  🙁 I also had to laugh at myself after a conversation I had...

Crockpot Winner! Pork Chili

It was the ultimate in irony.  I walked through the garden and harvested a small handful of tomatillos, and a small handful of Amish Paste tomatoes.  It was the first harvest of...
