Today it finally happened.
I got my first garden tomato.
I have been planting tomatoes for ten years now and I have never been able to enjoy a fresh, organic tomato (darn squirrels).
Well today I went out into the garden to take a peek at my tomatoes (the only thing really left since the squirrels are eating everything else).
Low and behold under one of the vines there was a tiny red tomato. You know what... I picked it!
I was so excited that I brought it in, washed it, took a couple of pictures, cut it in half, and shared it with dear hunny bunny.
It was delicious!

I spent an hour at Ed McKay's just the other day (that was about as long as Ben would allow), but in that short of time I found these great books.
Donna Hay... what more can I say. If you have never heard of her, shame on you! She does the most amazing things with food. Her recipes are quite simple and you should have most of the ingredients in your cabinets (if you are a cook). She also has a fabulous magazine also titled Donna Hay magazine (you can find them at Barnes & Nobles). Check her out!
This next book, The Sneaky Chef, is slowly becoming one of my favorites. We have the hardest time getting Benjamin to eat good foods. I was quite the skeptic when the book tells you to make a "purple paste" out of blueberries and spinach and mix it in with chocolate chip pancakes, but it really did not taste that bad and Benjamin gobbled them up. Who would have thought it!
Lastly, a book for my wee Ruby girl. We had a Three Dog Bakery in Seattle and while I could never bring myself to spend that kind of money on doggie goods. I did not mind spending three bucks on the book to make my own at home. Most of the treats are made with whole wheat flour, honey, peanut butter, etc. So not only are they healthy, but they are people friendly as well. Of course, dear hunny bunny could not believe I was feeding Ruby treats to the baby!
If your local library carries any of these books... Check them out!

Well so much for the "storm of the century". I woke up this morning, looked out my craft room window and was quite disappointed by what I saw. To top it all off... it started to rain and what little snow we did get was washed away by lunchtime.
No love lost however, I was still stocked up and ready to cook something warm and tasty.
Mmm... butter chicken.
