Blast from the past food (that sounds weird). Anyway, this one was originally posted December 5, 2014. As the days get hotter, we could start thinking ahead to fall and cooler weather. Remember, don’t think too far ahead though. It seems like only yesterday that we had snow up to …
Sterling Acres Blueberry Farm I wasn’t really sure what how I wanted to approach this post this week. I mean, there is some pretty good stuff I have been reading and watching, but nothing that I feel inclined to talk about right now. As you might expect when you suffer …
Turkey Roulade Just in case you haven’t had enough turkey yet. But at the same time, maybe you like turkey for Christmas… Here we go, this week we are doing something a bit fancier than what we have done till now. To make a roulade, you are stepping into French …
