New Windows, New Siding, New Day

We're off to town this morning on our weekly shopping trip along with a b'zillion or ten errands, so I won't be telling you about last night's dinner until later. Sorry 'bout that. I would though like to leave you with the latest update on our current house project with more to come, if I ever get all those darned shakes stained that is. Yikes - good thing the house is only 1960 sq. ft.

BEFORE - Tired, dreary, dry rot, aluminum single pane windows, moldy screen door, beige with turquoise trim

AFTER - new sliding glass door, larger windows - all vinyl double pane; exterior dark slate solid stain cedar shakes with barn red trim

Braised Lamb - Flavors From Sunny Greece If you were to ask what my favorite meat is, I'd have to say it's neck and neck between pork and lamb. Naturally, that's only my opinion because Big Guy's favorite is definitely beef being the Eastern Oregon cowboy that he is. A miracle though - he darned near changed his tune last night with this lovely braised lamb in all its Mediterranean flavored glory. Chunks of lamb shoulder browned well then braised slowly in tomatoes and red wine seasoned with cumin, bay leaves and cinnamon and pungent with the aroma of grated orange - I swear we could have...

Making Bread In the Food Processor I think I mentioned a while ago that my old Cuisinart, one of the originals, gave up the ghost on me a little while ago and by that I mean the motor put in nigh on 30 years of hard labor and worked just fine and dandy, but the plastic work bowl disintegrated and I was unable to find a replacement. I've mourned the loss and recently bit the bullet and replaced it with a brand spankin' new 11 cup model. I figured what better way to test drive the new baby and honor the old one than by making...
