It is the second day of summer, and it has been a fairly relaxing day. After coming up with a new recipe for the fresh plums off of our trees, it was time to meet a friend at a local taproom to catch up. After chatting with Marshall from http://www.Brulosophy.com (Those who think beer drink beer) for awhile, we headed down to Rocket Dog Brats and Brew in Clovis for a quick bite. We like both the Clovis and Fresno locations, but we seem to get better service at the Fresno site. I had the Bahn Mi dog, which is always tasty, and the extra order of house-made potato chips were a nice compliment to the dog. Now we’re home and I am searching for a new food processor that can handle all the goodies I want to fix. The second item to add to my arsenal will be an electric smoker, but I want to make sure I find one that I will be happy with.

Keep checking in, as I am revamping the site over the summer to list more recipes and food finds.
