We’ve had company over the past weekend so I’ve been busy and haven’t posted anything. I was going to say I hadn’t posted a lot, but that’s clearly a bunch of bullshit. I haven’t posted anything. I’ve made a lot, I just haven’t let all of my adoring…
Okay … so try this. We took our date goo and added this wicked-good black onyx cocoa from Savory Spice to create this outlandish chocolate sauce. That mixed into some pureed Okianawan sweeet potatoes. Oh my goodness. And back the fuck off! You can’t say anything. It tastes…
Started early this morning putting together breakfast for Sweetie: mashed sweet potatoes, topped with frozen straw, black and blueberries and my Crazy Good No SOS Granola.

Woke up to rain in Chicagoland, which we were needing as it was rather hot the last couple of days and I was having to water my container vegetables that were looking a bit droopy. Months ago I’d marked on my calendar to think about heading to Michigan…
