Entered a yo-yo decorating contest...

Underglazing the tiles... first four are bisque firing!

Backsplash is spreading...

I think it needs birds...

The tiles have been drying-- I set them out in the sun to help them along. The shrinkage so far is between 1/4" and 1/2".

Corn Avocado Salad

Toss FRESH sweet corn (sorry don't believe in canned) with sweet tomatoes (halved) and dress with chopped avocado, basil and fresh squeezed orange juice and salt and pepper.

Deliciously refreshing!

Tomatoes from the garden recipes...

Flank Steak Bites

Caprese Garlic Toasts

These went fast. Taste better than they look--touch of horseradish and onion mayonaise compliments the flank steak. Garlic butter toasts and a drizzle of balsamic embellish the already flavorful caprese basil standard.

Still carving...
