Scentsy sets the mood when you get home

Here's the small package of 'scents' I ordered for my daughter Karen in Louisville where she is an assistant Professor... for Kristin I ordered a sport themed 'warmer' representing the University of Virginia. Kristin is a lecturer at West Point. Click on the picture above to see what is available... To my fellow foodies... they were very fond of the 'pecan' aroma!

They offer many types of scents to set a romantic mood to perk culinary appetite… personally, If they made fresh bread or don nut scent… I would be so there!

In any event, my daughters love coming home to welcoming fragrance and thanks to another Karen… it happened!

my big fat lamb barbecue!


I looked everywhere to find a good lamb  CHARCOAL ROTISSERIE of around 52″. It had to have a strong enough spit to handle most of the lambs and pigs I would like to roast… and the motor would have to be positioned far enough away from the pit so that I wouldn’t have to replace it every few occasions. A nice grease tray would be nice as would a wind break and something to hold the middle of the lamb firmly on the spit….
Here is the double rotisserie version... but one at a time is good enough for me. CLICK on the picture above to see if it's something to add to your cooking tools.

 

The cuisine of Greece is wonderfully simple and delicious! I have a few items on my recipe list. CLICK here to find them!

To the Cook goes the Spoils!

Here is ‘Gus” cooking and ‘tasting’ for quality assurance the lamb he is preparing on his front yard! I screen captured this from the delightfully entertaining movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”. The movie is 9 years old now, but always brings a smile… which is why I named my new Lamb Rotisserie “GUS”.
