Poor Wilbur...

Last week was all about pig and who knows how many little Wilbur's we went through.  I absolutely love pork the succulent smell and sweet savory taste that over whelms every taste bud in your mouth, yum yummerz.  Here is the array of dishes I made.

Spinach and feta cheese stuffed pork with a curry sauce served with lentils and italian zucchinis and red bell pepper

Pork chop with sherry vinegar sauce served with white rice and spinach.

Pork Goulash and brussel sprouts

Seared medallions with winter fruit sauce and served with rosemary potato cake and green beans

Tis the season...

It's that time of year when it's acceptable to be a little ghoulish and creepy.  People don't stare at you quite as much because you choose not to look like them or you look like you decided to prance around town in a "costume".  When you go to a store and find new goodies to use as year round decor for your house and see things that remind you of your closest friends. 

Last night was a rarity for me since I stayed out late on a school night but, it was well worth it.  It's was so nice to sit around a table in a dim lit room gutting a pumpkin and enjoying a glass of wine with friends that always make you laugh and remind you how silly you really are.  Since my creative side doesn't shine in the carving department, I decided to relax and relieve some stress by cooking my friends a quick meal.  I made my take on shrimp scampi over spaghetti for everybody and they seemed to actually enjoy the meal.

Too much, Too fast.

I feel like the last few weeks have flown by and I didn't even get a chance to look back on them.  Everything from a skin allergy, family drama, daily routine and non routine things coming up I couldn't get myself to set down and write something.  Life is life and no matter what it is grand.  Although things have not been picture perfect my passion and dedication for school has not been swayed.  Lately it is the one certain thing that makes me me.  So, to sum up some of the things I made the last few weeks enjoy these pictures.
