SL-WEEK 35: Some cook, others eat

First I read the theme as book and had a photo of my new 7 acquisitions ready. They will have to wait for one of the next posts.

Then I thought it was food, and still wanted to post the books. They are soul food after all, and two of the books are about food (yep, got myself two Pollans). But since Sylvain said cook, here are some of my favourite home-made dishes.

Make no mistake: the chefs are amore and father (the last two photos). Oh, the strudel – that was mine, all mine. (Names of dishes in captions)

For Sylvain Landry’s SL-WEEK 35: Cook

Have a heart challenge

Because Judy collects hearts just like my mother does. Because mom’s cousin arranged them into I ❤ U. Because dad made the bread. Because bestia ❤ bread. Because the last 3-year-old visitor started throwing the stones off the wall before we could inhale. And because we can never have too much heart.

Judy says it’s a challenge. Give us your hearts.
