The View from Gal #1

I was finally starting to feel good about the whole "blog" thing.  Love the cooking, love staying in touch with Gal #2 & #3...but the technology of this continues to baffle.  Mostly the fault of a challenged laptop - partly the fault of a camera whose technology time has come and gone - I thought I had finally figured this out by taking photos with my (new to me) smart phone.  Easy to take pictures, easy to load to my computer (read "work" here) - easy to get this thing done!  Then my SD card went bad and all my pictures disappeared.  All except:

New Cookbook = Love!

and this:

brocolli, celery, peppers

the very beginnings of the Sesame Chicken Couscous recipe.  I made this and loved it - Mr. #1 not so much.  Made a beautiful blueberry pie - wine and all - and I thought it was outstanding.  It took alot longer to cook down than the recipe leads one to believe, however.  Mr. #1 ate not even one piece (read: not a sweets guy) and most of the pie went in the trash.  I should have followed Gal #2 lead and skipped the dessert knowing how little welcome sugary desserts receive at my house.

Then onto July:  Did you see the cookie pictures Gal #3 posted?  Those were made onsite at Gal #1's house and so I claim a share of that post.  They were delicious - made their way to the Blossom Music Festival the next day and were heartily devoured by all. 

That's all I've got to show for June & July - but don't give up on me yet.  Perhaps August will be the month I redeem my share of this blog - but you may have to rely on the written word rather than the photos.

Looking forward to August - and have been thinking alot about what my POV is.  As I began to think about this, I realized I do have quite a POV about food!  More about that in September.

Happy food!
