Black Lily?



This flower is growing in our front yard. I've never seen (or smelled) anything quite like it. Wonder what it is...

Oh! It is a black calla lily. How'd it get there?

Quick red sauce.



From Alton Brown dot com. Quick veggie red sauce. Mmm, so hearty. I used bowtie pasta, but the sauce was so thick that I should have used rotini or something that could grab the sauce better. I also added mini red peppers, julienned, but I think that it added a little too much sweetness. Also pictured: steamed brocollini and spring greens with a light dressing and blue cheese crumbles.

I made this food. Approximately stuffed crimini mushrooms, peas, potatoes and vegan gravy. Yes, that's a New Belgium wheat beer and glass of water off to the side. Nothing like a wintery wheat beer with an earthy meal.

This is Busy Bee.

He was a present from one of Heylove's aunts. She loves to chew the wings but her mouth is still to small to get around the body. Good thing Busy Bee came with Boney, a small, white plush bone. It, like Busy Bee has a squeaker and is lots of fun to chew. Puppy toys are so soft. I wish I could have a suit made out of...what is this? Chenille? Yeah, that.
