Max prepping for the surprise

We were delighted to have Drew join us. Here is is rocking the killer app

and here comes the food. Starter, Appetizer, dinner Tri Tip with a Thyme, garlic, Lemon sauce, with stuffed acorn squash prepared by Martin and Nicole and last but not least, Erin's killer chocolate mousse cake. Yum.

Another fine meal with friends. A toast to the end of 2009. Looking forward to more foodie fun in 2010.

Supper Club Southern Style

October 2009 brought us another fine meal hosted by Carol Ann and Brett soon to be the Soltz (es)

Southern was the food to be this round and let me say, if you're having Southern, you want Southern folk cooking it for you. Paula Deene has nothing on CA!

Abuelo turns 80!

We just got back from a wonderful weekend with the family. Here are some pictures from the birthday celebration. We enjoyed great food, good times, and laughter with the family. It was so nice to see everyone.

Tony's son Mark made a Squirrel piñata for the occasion.

How cute is this???

Presto

Just some pics of Presto.. I think it's so funny how he sleeps!

"hey mom, why'd ya wake me up?"

Bountiful Harvest

As summer draws to a close, I find myself with more tomoatoes than I can handle. After some encouragement from Tonya Sue and my sis I decided that yes, "SO Cal" I am going to can.
The great thing about this is that we can enjoy our wonderful fruits this winter. We ended up with 10 jars of lovely tomato delight. Borat might say "Success!" Can't wait for next year.
