Dinner is served

Clockwise from top. Warm potato salad featuring smoked potatoes; a stir-fry of chard and snap peas from our garden with red pepper; smoked pork rib; smoked pork loin; in the centre kale salad and celery, both from the garden, with pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries.

A wonderful meal.

Art . . .

. . . masquerading as a cutting board. A very talented fellow crafted this beautiful piece out of walnut, cherry, and maple, which Faye and I are now fortunate to own. It is almost too beautiful to put to its intended use.
