corn risotto

more of mt. pleasant for you..

inspired by our dinner at bld, i decided to make a corn risotto with seared scallops. the dinner came out pretty well. only problem was that it required a cup of dry white wine and we only had semi-sweet white wine in the house.. end result wasn't awfully bad...

autumn's here..

can you see the trees turning color on our street?

this is our house (will update with more pictures once i get a little more organized)

sunday roast

sunday calls for a roast. we bought some michigan certified boneless chuck at the butcher.

we used our trusty le creuset dutch oven..

• i forgot to take a photo before devouring my dinner. it was pretty good..
