Food and Recipes

Sent this photo via phone text to my brother to rub in the fact that I was eating our favorite
Berry Pie

While on a getaway to the beach with Becky and friends, we were amused by these "porkchops on a stick"
at the local grocer.

We opted for this healthier but tasty lunch instead.

Hotdogs and pork and beans while camping.  Fun times!

Summer of 2010 I tried my hand at dutch oven cooking.  Here's a cherry cake I
made for the Yambra Family BBQ.
