Roselle: A new (to me) ingredient, courtesy of my CSA. Lemony, tangy leaves from SE Asia, used in teas and as a dye a lot, but pretty good straight.

Lap tray were using in place if a coffee table until I can find one thats the right size and not a million dollars.

This is the poor abandoned Dartagnan, who wanted us to know that we could just go on and leave – he needs no one to cuddle him. Hes got a blanket and a fort to take care of that. Its a wonder we ever leave the house.

Spotted at the Camelot Days renaissance festival in Hollywood. I found squirrel and a bear playing human chess, but no moose.

Whoo hoo! This promises to make our sausage stuffing life much easier. The Kitchenaid stuffer attachment sucks.

This aint diet food. Potato and Carrot Duck Hash, cooked in … wait for it … liquid gold (duck fat). So rich, so ducky.

Still decompressing from the Big Apple; dinner at the nearest diner.
