I hope everyone who is so inclined enjoyed a nice Christmas day!
We had a fabulous Christmas meal this year – local prime rib, local squash, homemade Yorkshire pudding. Delish.
But for this week’s Dark Days meal, I think I’ll show off the corn chowder we had for dinner on Christmas Eve.
It was yummy! And it made [...]

Posting is going to be even slower than usual here at YF. Along with everything that Christmas brings, we’ve got our hands full with Riley:

The pork was tender and the maple glaze gave [...]

That’s what my husband calls catnip toys.
While we were out and about on Saturday, checking out local craft shows, we picked up a handmade catnip toy, stuffed with homegrown catnip.
Homegrown lived up to its reputation!

Really? It’s December already? What the….?
So, it kind of feels like cheating, but I’m submitting Thanksgiving leftovers, three ways, for this week’s Dark Days entry. I have to say, cooking a big meal really does pay off in terms of all the time I saved using leftovers this last week! We did finally have to [...]
