OLIO

"Olio" is a crossword puzzle word that means a mixture, or medley or hodgepodge.  Actually I prefer "hodgepodge".  At any rate, that's what you're getting to mark the beginning of a new year.


Last night's New Year's Eve feast was baked potatoes, my semi-famous Pepper Steaks, a nice mixed salad prepared by SWMBO, and a baguette, all complimented by a tasty bottle of red.  


Strangely, the only photo of the meal is this one of the somewhat depleted red wine.


SWMBO was busy with the slow cooker this week.


Ham and beans!  Yum!


And her delicious corn bread to accompany them.

Oh, by the way, she has it in her mind to hire some off-duty firefighters to load our truck when we move.  I can't imagine why.


I thought you might like to see some products of our back yard.


Well I really need to get away from this computer and watch some football.  

Ouch!  Okay, help my wife with some packing.
