Jeff and Lisa's wedding celebration party

Good times at the Erlingers last night. It was an evening filled with delicious food, wonderful conversation, and in a beautiful setting. We luckily dodged the storms that were all around us. Just to add to the fun a little knife throwing and axe throwing contest was held, which I was terrible at..thanks for a great evening Jeff and Lisa.

Supper with the brothers

Two of my brothers came for supper and a visit tonight. So good to spend time with family! They were here Thursday too, good times!


 

The Tepache is done....yum!

The Tepache is finished and so delicious! Look at those fermentation bubbles! Making another batch today! Waiting for my brothers to come over for supper tonight. We had planned on cooking out, but too cold and too windy for a fire, so guess we're having a cook-in.

Today's foods, cauliflower soup and water kefir

Made some Creamy Cauliflower soup for lunch, mostly because I needed the room in the fridge...😁 also trying a batch of Tepache. I love making fermented drinks! I have been making water kefir since it got hot, it's so refreshing! Water kefir is supposed to be bottled to increase the carbonation, but I really don't want to worry about bottles exploding, so I just add some sparkling water...and that's my "cooking" tip for the day.




 

Squirrel

A little squirrel having breakfast on our brick pile...he only stayed for one photo...how rude! Good morning everyone, have a great day!

Gonna be a hot one!

Good morning people of the world! I'm outside having my morning coffee, listening to the birds! We have a mocking bird near us, so fun to listen to all the different bird calls he's learned. The sun is just beginning to pop out from the clouds, it's going to be a hot one today.
