Fake Hiatus!

Just a quick note: I'm leaving today for 9 days in Chicago.  Land of the food I love, home of the Maxwell Street, the deep dish pizza, and the family.  I am leaving you with some entries that I've canned, so please keep coming back and enjoying the food that has made my world go 'round.

Extra bonus - I'm trying new recipes while I'm gone, so there should be tons of new content from "foreign" locales in about two weeks.  Keep reading, keep enjoying, and most importantly - keep eating!

Loves and smiles,
Jes

The folks and me, middle of a freezing snow storm, outside shopping.
We're hardcore.
