football food remains! It was tremendous. Nothing fancy but very tasty. Perfect for game watching– provided you have a good supply of napkins. Recipes coming up.

The side of rice allows one to adjust one’s own carb intake. The raisins and coconut add a nice touch of quick sweetness without overwhelming. And the apples…
Photographs from two weeks ago. I’ll be posting more from the trip for the next several weeks as I work to reclaim the house. 28 days, 11 hours, and 45 minutes’ worth of dust is really something to see!
