More tomaters! Only this time we’re slooooow roastin’. As opposed to slow cookin’. Remember? From like, two days ago? Never mind. These golden beauts, I must admit, do not come from my very pregnant garden. They’re farmer’s market finds because I cannot liiiiiiive without golden tomatoes. Which makes me wonder why I don’t just grow […]

Shrimp Nacho Party Bites
We’re having a pretend party today because I feel like it, dang it. Actually, I just opened the back door to let my dog out, and it’s like 67 degrees! SIXTY SEVEN. If that’s not means for a pretend party I don’t know what is. I mean sure, it’s going to hit 91 horrendous degrees […]

Prosciutto-Wrapped Barbeque Jalapeno Poppers. And a Farm Party.
I almost titled this post “Been Farming Long?” because I figured I’m long overdue for a good face punching. But plastic surgeons are crazy expensive these days, and I need to wash my hair later, so . . . We went to a farm party! At this dude’s house. Instead of asking if he needed […]
