I've Decided

I've decided from now on to make my own tortillas.
I've also decided that I love my husband just a bit more these days as he continues to show me his talent with Salmon. Here, he's getting ready to smoke up a batch.

I've also decided that he has the best recipe in town and the lady who sells smoked salmon fillets at the market for $9 a piece is dreaming. Mark's is way better.

I've also decided why my blog has suffered and why I haven't been doing a whole lot. I needed a break. A long break. I can only be a 50's housewife for so long before I need a few drinks, and a visit from my Harvey roots.

Slowly I'm feeling the urge to come back and start baking and cooking an assortment of stuff. I made and baked bread for the first time in a long time yesturday and have cooked dinner 3 nights in a row now. I made a creamy smoked salmon pasta dish that was rich and sinful. Crusted hamburger pie. I cleaned a rotisserie chicken and made a good casserole with it.

My yard has also severly suffered as a result of my "absence". I feel embarrased by it. I need to harvest my potatoes soon and today feels like a good day to do that. My grapes did well with the recent heat and I have way too damb much rhubarb.
