Lost In Thoughts
Friday was a really great day as I was honored as being the Tennessee dairy promoter of the year by the TN ADA at the June Dairy Month kickoff.

My two-month review has been one of my most popular posts so I thought it might be of use to give another update now that a longer time period has passed.

I've written about the perfect meal. The meal of little preparation and easy clean up. I admitted that the quality of food, the making of the meal, and the simple joy of eating each contribute to the experience of a perfect meal. I think today the world has taken a step forward towards the perfect... Continue Reading →
Before we begin we have to set the mood. Yes, you have to push play on the video to set the mood. Ok, now we can start.
