Yipeee!!

I cooked food!  I wrestled a ham into the roaster and then into the oven! I didn’t do any side dishes or orchestrate the workings by the boys… just glazed the piggie butt and when it had cooled enough  for us to get our mitts on it, we started cutting and feasted!  Throwing chunks of fat to salivating dogs like we stood on straw floor in a medieval dining room!  Nom! Nom! Good Ham! Greasy Times. I also want to tell you of a few things that are coming up tomorrow...

Sour Milk Chocolate Waffles

We let the plants do their thing most of the time. But the grass in the front was getting thick before I hurt myself and Jack has to walk through that stuff each morning in the dark…and we have dogs…lots of dogs…big...
