Beading of a Judges Collar

Behind the Scenes Photo Shoot

My apartment has been undergoing a change. In 2017 I had my kitchen done over (See kitchen make-over here https://bit.ly/3jujjPG).  It was quite a big project.  The designer was Keita Turner (https://www.keitaturnerdesign.com/).  This has morphed into an ongoing project and much needed surgery for this apartment.   Although Keita and I both took photos via cell phones and point and shoots, she needed professional photos.  Keita created a block buster team and below is a short clips of the day. Keita also wore for a silk patchwork tunic (see more dresses here https://bit.ly/3cWb8ZZ).

Making Roast Pork for the First Time

This was actually a Picnic Roast Pork. I have passed by this type of meat, thinking it would be too complicated. It was actually very easy. I did take the layer of fat off and that I didn't need to do, next time I won't do that. It was tasty just the same.I used that layer of fat and the bone for my red beans that I cooked the next day. I used the recipe from Spoonbread and Strawberry Wine cookbook (it is available on Amazon, https://amzn.to/3aAhblJ), by Norma Jean and Carole Darden. This book is filled with their family stories and recipes. The pork recipe is from J. B. Darden and he is described as a meat and potato...
