This post will be quick because I’m making it from my phone and I must get some rest as in 12 hours it is the start of ‘the big day’. The Sutter Home Winery Build A Better Burger Cookoff is tomorrow.  I am excited as ever and nervous at the same time. Not as nervous as I thought I may be of course (I don’t know what it will be like with my own cooking station without children at my feet… I may finally be efficient!) I have learned that not only is this event world class but so are it’s people. I’m so thankful to be here. My kids are being good at home and I miss them terribly however, tomorrow will be one of those memorable days. I’ve been soaking up the beautiful countryside here. Simply gorgeous.  I hope you are all well and I want to thank you for all of your support and encouragement.  It means more than you know.

I’ll be grilling up a Sour Apple Pork Burger tomorrow.  Will you be grilling?

Here’s a view from supper tonight. Breathtaking.

And the lovely loaves etc. at Bouchon Bakery.

I’m wearing my lucky pig earrings tomorrow.  Sometimes I feel more important with dangl-y earrings on. Dangl-y PIG earrings are even better.
