[food] Eggrolls, baked
December 10th, 2007 ·
I had forgotten how simple these are to put together. One batch makes skads. Right now, I have some in the freezer on a tray, waiting to be dumped into a bag for long term storage. They can be...[--continued--]

[food] Lemon Whippersnappers, Gemaw style
December 8th, 2007 ·

[food] Polenta Casserole (clean the fridge)

[food] Chile-stewed Pork Necks
November 21st, 2007 ·
