At one stage I was blogging regularly about the past weeks menu. Here's the link to the last one I posted, well over a year ago. I don't plan to start this regularly again but thought I'd share some of what's been on our menu in the last 10 days or so. Some of my… Continue reading Some Menu Offerings

I… Continue reading Where I’m At

One of my favourite traditions that we have always… Continue reading Christmas Traditions and a recipe
