Candle Carver

How cool is this! Now I'm able to make fruits and vegetables into tea light holders. 

 

Now I can have my candles and eat them too ;-)

New York Egg Cream

I just had my first New York egg cream. Dang, why did I wait so long to make one. 

No need for eggs or cream, just grab the Fox's u-bet chocolate syrup and let's get goin'...

 

Crab-u-licious

Last weekend I ran up to Laguna Niguel to visit with Squeaks for the weekend. She told me about a couple of craft fairs in the area and thought we should hit them up to hopefully find some Christmas gifts. 

Aaaand...that Bill was having some Maryland Blue Crabs flown in Sat. for our dinner that night. Oh, happy, happy, happy,  yummy, yummy, yummy. 

As usual I ate like a king while I was up there. 

We did our usual shopping and running around, dang, that makes one hungry. Knowing we were in for a crab-fest for dinner, but needing to stave off our hunger, we stopped by the Surf and Sand for a little snack and drinks. 

We ordered from the appetizer menu and it was the perfect amount to hold us over. 

 I had the fried calamari that was served with a creamy dipping sauce and red cherry pepper rings, 

Come see what else we had. 

Bucatini with Bread Crumbs and Roasted Tomatoes

I have recently discovered the beauty of bucatini pasta.

I was perusing the internet looking for more information on bucatini when I found a recipe that sounded wonderful, that is if you are a carb-aholic. 

 

Pasta with garlicy bread crumbs, how great is that. 

I put a little personal touch to it, come see what I did.
