Kitchen-ing

I decided to stock pile nuts for the winter.  Like a squirrel.  For no reason.

Anyway, they arrived this week and since I have a freezer full of walnuts, almonds, macadamias, and, most important, pecans, I knew there was only one thing to do.  Make homemade vanilla ice cream.

I wonder if renter's insurance covers kitchen nuclear holocaust.

So excited!!

Today Zack learned a very important cooking lesson: When marinating steak, always start with fresh garlic. That's my boy!

Steak, roasted butternut squash topped with almond and parmesan, broccoli/snow pea/red pepper stir fry.  And homemade ice cream topped with pecans.  I tell ya, kids, it's a rough life here in the ol' archipelago.
