I was so excited to come home to this today. I skipped breakfast and took Tazewell on a nice long walk this morning, and as we started for home, I suddenly wished I had a big salty sandwich. Cravings, man. I thought about stopping at The Italian Store for some prosciutto, but then remembered I had THESE leftovers in my fridge. No, it's ... view more
Dad’s Potato Latkes

But don’t you worry, I have many in the hopper, especially after my productive week on vacation that I am wrapping up as I type. Well this is starting off quite nicely. #michiana #floridakeysmahimahi #beachdays #eeeeeats ... view more
