Get To Know Your Neighbors.

Awwww the potato.

A few years ago I was on the Atkins diet. I still feel guilty when I eat bread or potatoes.

But I HAVE to with the French Skinny Experiment so...........

Fried potatoes with bacon, eggs, green onions and fresh baguette.

For lunch I had French lemonade (it tastes the same as my lemonade) and some more baguette.

After 13 years we decide to have the neighbors over for a BBQ.

It only took 13 years. Sheesh.

We love pink flamingos.

totem poles.

Fresh lemons for the marinade.

Our Mascot.

BBQ ribs and chicken. An amazing asparagus recipe by my neighbor, Karen R.

(There are 7 Karens in my life.)
