This cupboard holds paper supplies and the ironing stuff for now until we get another storage solution for that sorted out.

This railing will soon be coming down.Chris is working on building some big wide steps leading down to the lawn instead of the little narrow ramp that was there before.

We’ll probably re-use the wood though for a prettier, lattice-free railing because the weathering on it is perfect.If not, more sign material for me!.I’m maybe cheating a little bit here.

Just about anything would look great with that view in the background, don’t ya think?Oh well, if I’ve got it, might as well share!.

Most of my projects lately have been quick, easy, instant-gratification stuff, which I love.

Tomorrow, though I’m getting ready to show you one of our bigger projects from the last year.It’s kind of like a thick, fancy pudding when it’s fresh out of the oven, and a little more like the center of the most amazing chocolate truffle you’ve ever had if you decide to chill it and eat it later.

Either way, pretty great stuff.I was lured into trying this recipe out when I saw that it used basamic vinegar mixed in with the chocolate and I just had to try it out because it sounded semi-crazy.

Well, it turns out that you really don’t taste any vinegar at all.The fruitiness of the balsamic vinegar just really complements the chocolate well and makes for one super-intense chocolatey dessert.
