New glasses, and actually using my apron when I cook.

Well executed carmelized mushroom and onion biscuits (Recipe courtesy of Joy the Baker, here)

My first real and true steak house experience at the Wolf Lodge Inn in Coeur d’Alene Idaho.  Never been to a wizard steak joint before, but this man stands at this crazy smoke grill all night, basting and turning over pieces of applewood.  Unreal.  This was Bryan’s birthday choice, and the place was just his style.  (this grill is indoors!)

Bryan’s German Chocolate Cake I made for his birthday.  Not too shabby for a first attempt!

Happiness is in the small things, usually in this case, food-related.
