Stone fruit, fresh from the backyard tree, tossed on the grill with just a little butter and brown sugar (or jam). Tastes so much like summer that I can feel the warm setting sun just thinking about it.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Cake Wrecks'
Beautiful cake made for a birthday party ... absolutely gorgeous with real buttercream frosting. Too bad the party was outdoors during the summer. By the time the protective box was open the half-melted frosting was a Dali-esque mess.

Menudo ... it wouldn't be Sunday after church without it.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'

Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'
Several times a week I have to tray up and cook 120 pounds of bacon in my job as a graveyard cook. The fact that I still love bacon anyway should tell you something.
