Yesterday was Sunday and it was really sunny and warm here for a change. It finally felt like summer so I was motivated to work in the yard all day. It was great but before I knew it the day had flown by and it...
My friend Valerie came over yesterday to do a hike and sit in the hot tub. She ended up staying for dinner so I had to come up with something suitable to serve from the ingredients on hand. I surveyed the fridge first and spied...
