Well that was quite the hiatus! Right now, with the summer months, my passions are cool foods and canning. This Saturday I'm preserving brandied cherries which I plan to serve with cornish game hens, or mini chickens as my son says. Last week I did strawberry preserves which Maia went crazy for. I'll leave you with this photo. It's not food, exactly, but it is pretty and makes me smile on my way into work.
