Still no after…
...because we're still working on adapting something that's super old to something that's brand new, and that threw a kink in the whole thing today (January 1st) ! Tomorrow, though, there will be after pics because Ted and Isaiah figured out what to do and just have to get the piece needed.

Elfie and Elfis escapades

The sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, and mashed potatoes are all cooking, and the dough for the Parker house … Continue reading It’s cooking!
