6/15 Wild Rice Salad w/Pistachios and Curried Apricot Dressing

6/9 You’re Drinking What?

I thought this comic strip was fun and wanted to share. Sometimes hearing or reading information I have already heard but in a different way can really click with me or make more sense.

Last night the air was still perfectly warm and sultry at 9 P.M. so it became an evening for dinner on the grill. I have been wanting to grill Jicama to see how it would taste, since I’ve only had it uncooked, so that is exactly what we did. The result was a side dish […]
