STORM!

These pictures were taken out my back door while a fierce thunderstorm was raging outside.   I love the way they turned out!   They really capture the fierceness of the storm.   It was dark out so the slow shutter speed did a good job of showing the trees and rain blowing in the wind.

Finger Licking Good!!!

Another masterpiece by my girlfriend Amy-Marie.  First, she marinated the chicken with olive oil, fresh oregano and mint, all collected from our garden!,  then she baked it with fresh lavender, also from our garden, and a caramelizing glaze made of lavender and honey.   After the chicken was done, she presented it, on our "new" platter we found at the Old West End Festival, on a bed of fresh spinach and Japonica rice, with a few sprigs of fresh oregano and lavender for presentation.   This dish was amazing!! It tasted every bit as good as it looks!!
