April 2023 “In My Kitchen”

By Eliot, on April 7th, 2023%

March was just meh around here. Most of that was my fault but I’m glad April is coming in with tulips, more daffodils, and warmer weather.

The biggest new thing here has to be in our outdoor kitchen. (Don’t be impressed, we just have an Ooni, a ceramic hibachi and now a new griddle.)

By Eliot, on February 4th, 2023%

February is such an odd month. It’s when we start to experience the true winter blahs. The weather turns colder and more blustery. Spring seems like a long way off.

At least it’s short.

I really don’t have a whole lot to add for In My Kitchen this month. (In My Kitchen is a place . . . → Read More: “In My Kitchen” February 2023
