Pork and Sweet Potato Skewers and the Weekly Menu

Summertime is grilling time here on the farm, and I love trying new recipes.  This recipe uses marinated pork tenderloin, parboiled sweet potatoes, and chunks of fresh pineapple skewered together and grilled to tender, juicy perfection.

Happy to be Home and Ready to Resume my Michigan Summer with the Weekly Menu

Greek Wines outside of Santorini #WorldWineTravel

 I just happened to be vacationing in Greece during this World Wine Travel event, in which Camilla of Culinary Cam invited us to explore up-and-coming wine regions.  I  was not too familiar with Greek wines, but I did know that Santorini is the most popular wine region.  I decided to explore Greek Wines outside of Santorini.

A Great Getaway to Greece.

Day 1 and 2- A looooong and tiring flight that lasted from 9 PM ET on 6/1 and ended at 10 PM (Greece Time) on 6/2 that included a 2 1/2 hour delay in CDG as we sat on the plane at the gate awaiting to take the last leg of our flight.  We arrived at the hotel, checked in, ordered room service, showered, and crashed.
