I wanted to share some of my plants from last year. This years are still getting started. Will post them when they are nice and full.

Some of the recipes I will be posting in the distant future

In the future, I will be posting some of my really good recipes. It is going to be hard for me to reveal some of them.
My list of recipes will be:
Biscotti
Meatballs and Gravy
Baked fish
Sweet potato fries (really good)
Butternut squash
Maybe my butter cookies, and that's a big maybe
Ahh, my cakes, and that's another real big maybe
I hope you follow me in this adventure

Two of my cakes that I think are very nice, all my own designs

I wanted to add two cakes that I made for graduations. The three tiered is Jessica's graduation cake. She is going to school for Marine Biology.
The sheet cake is for a friend's granddaughter.

Another recipe, string beans and potatoes

I also made stringbeans and potatoes. Thats an old recipe that most Italians make. Lots of chopped garlic, olive oil and fresh string beans.
Boil the string beans in a frying pan with a bit of salt. The frying pan keeps the beans green. Boil a few potatoes cut into 1inch pieces in another pot. Remove the string beans when they are to your liking. Clean pan and put olive oil and lots of chopped garlic. Saute until soft then add the beans. Drain the potatoes and add to the pan. Add salt and pepper to taste. And of course, add plenty of chopped fresh parsley.
Real Good!

I ended up sauteing the tenderloin. I put olive oil in a pan and added lots of chopped garlic, fried it until it was soft, but not brown. I added a few bay leaves and fresh parsley.
When this was nicely aromatic and the garlic cooked, I removed it and added the pork to the pan to brown it. After browning, I put the garlic mixture back in the pan so the pork would pick up the wonderful taste of the fresh herbs. I then put the pork mixture in a bowl and added a few tablespoons of apricot preserves to the pan. I heated that through until it melted down a bit and added the pork. Heated through and spooned the apricot over the pork. It tasted very good.
