Dark Days Week #12 :: Kahula Pork

Do you have standby meals? Ones you can make without looking at a recipe or worrying about having the ingredients on hand? Kahula Pork is one around here.

Dark Days 09/10: #10 (South)

A busy week provided Jennell at Delicious Potager the opportunity to do Sunday dinner up right. I think Sunday is a perfect day for an afternoon puttering in the kitchen, creating a feast.
