One of my biggest pet peeves is to visit a blog, only to find it hasn’t been updated in ages. I have become my own pet peeve. Excuse the fact that my writing has been on hiatus, as I have sort of been the same. I am spending the summer in Montana, which has kept me thoroughly occupied, and the heat has done its part to keep the kitchen stove running on minimal output.
I spent the first part of this summer visiting relatives in the Carolinas, and soon I’ll post about the great places I saw and things I ate. It has been interesting watching the local produce as the season changes here. The farmer’s markets in Montana are just hitting their peak, and the next couple of weeks are looking to be quite productive as the weather has been an ideal mix of moisture, all day heat, and cool nights. We’re also gardening our own little crop, which I will post about. The fourth of July was a big party with fresh salsas, cold salads, sangria, and all the things that just taste like summer (with loud explosions in the background). This week brings the state fair, which offers the type of inferior food that tastes good only once per year: over-sweetened lemonade, funnel cakes, lefse from the Son’s of Norway…
Thanks for all the nice notes and updates on what you people are up to. Now that I’m back in the swing of things, I will try to post more frequently.

I’m trying to help promote a site called Behind the Burner (www.behindtheburner.com).

Tell all your friends. Do whatever you can to spread the great news.
