the first post

i had an amazing day yesterday. a true "tess day" if ever there were. i made a huge breakfast of root vegetable pancakes and a squash and zucchini fritata with fresh tomatoes (all from our local CSA). i worked on sewing creatures for my googlie mooglie collection. went to Kara's and picked and pitted cherries for the afternoon. then i came home and made a scrumptious roasted garlic and rosemary beet soup. i roasted beets for the first time( i had tons from the last few weeks of the CSA). then to top it all off i have started experimenting on a custom BBQ sauce--the first round went very well. i might have to spread these pictures out to last me a few posts.
