It's Been Way Too Long...

I was at a barbecue with my parents yesterday and my mother mentioned to another attendee that I had a foodie blog that I hadn't made a post in since (Gasp) May! So today I sat down and decided I would attend to said blog. But then I noticed my dogs pacing in circles around the kitchen and dining room and realized it was nearly 6 pm and they hadn't had their evening walk. So, again, I walked away from the lap top... and the blog. I've been busy, doing what exactly, I have no idea.

The dogs have been walked and fed and now I'm on on my patio with a pale ale and my lap top and I'm ready to rock. The point is that I'm back, and possibly in full effect.

Unfortunately I don't have an idea for an "official post" but here are some photos to let you know what I've been up to in the last few weeks.

Prune Torte Pics

So I said I'd post pics of the prune torte so here it is:


Or half of it, anyway. It looked pretty when it was whole, but the prunes made it impossible to cut a pretty piece. It tasted good, but not amazing. I love the crust of this but I guess fresh fruits work much better. I've tried it with apples, cherries and peaches and all have turned out spectacular. This one was just alright for me, dawg. Skip the prunes, try the torte, it's worth it.
