Radishes from seed: Lots of work for little Joy!














I started these from seeds, in what seemed like Feburary....had to replant them and had them outside during that time when it poured for days on end. Then, the weather got sunny for days on end and many of them "bolted". So, we ate these and then I pulled all the remaining ones out (mostly just green)and am using the greens to stuff pasta. I'll keep you posted on the stuffed pasta!

Le Sabrage-Opening a bottle of Champagne the macho way!
















Years ago Scott Wonder, thought it might be fun to learn how to open a bottle of bubbly the way gentlemen in France did, when they all carried swords around with them......wack the top off with a sword......and pour! So, every once in a while he tries it again to keep in practice. Here he was at Grand Cru Wine Bar-recently. He loves champagne the most of all wines.....I bet given the right situation: he might "work" for wine. Cheers!
