MMMM Cactus!

My California life goes like this: wake up, breakfast, internet surfing / working, ride my bike till I'm tired, snack / late lunch, little exploring of the area or grocery shopping, and then dinner preparations.



Some dinners are more adventurous then others. Holly decided she needed to experience Cactus a couple days ago. Raw it tasted like a fresh pea pod to me. Holly steamed it but neglected to add baking soda at the end causing it to become all slimy and not up to her edibility standards. A for effort though.

We may or may not eat a lot of meat....

We're lucky to have a pretty sweet kitchen here and a gas oven that once you learn how to regulate it, seems to work pretty well. Plus the direct line bbq on the roof gets a ton of use.
