This is where the hungry come to feed. For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven't tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it.

new wreath




finally made a replacement for the lemon wreath i made like 2 years ago... the lemons were all faded... so i took it apart... and after checking out various sites for summer wreath inspiration.. i decided to do a shell wreath.... and i like how it turned out...  i hope the hot glue holds.

thats a spicy cupcake



chocolate chipotle cupcakes topped with powdered sugar and cinnamon..

and since i pureed the entire can of chipotle peppers.. so much chipotle to use...

so dinner the day was chipotle grilled pork loin...

butterflied the pork loin slices and pounded them out... then marinated them in a combination of garlic, chipotle puree, brown sugar, and salt/pepper. served on mashed potatoes with a side of homemade pico.
