Broccoli!

It's that time of year when we have more broccoli that we know what to do with. This head will last for several meals for three people.

After growing different varieties over the years, we've settled on Belstar for the nice heads it produces.

A Sticky Valentines Day

We made cinnamon buns for breakfast on Saturday, Valentines Day. Here is a picture just before the icing was dribbled all over them. These were made from a recipe found in the Rocky Mountain News. The recipe contained all sorts of good things like chopped pecans, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, butter, cream cheese and cottage cheese.
