Awesome roast Jim and Happy Birthday. One of those will be in the oven for Christmas along with a lamb leg.

Thanks. Birthday is actually tomorrow but we both work all day Tuesday so today is celebration day since it takes about 4 hours to cook the roast It's all over now. Oh my! It was delicious!

alright I have been in the kitchen quite a bit lately...
First up, sweet potato gnocchi with browned butter and sage. Somewhat labor intensive, it was an experiment of my own design, turned out BOMB.COM

Next, soft pretzels, this is the second time I have made them, I tested my skills with whole wheat flour. Topped with several things including, poppy seeds and ghost pepper salt to name a few.

My goal in the kitchen is to make as much as possible from scratch

finished product, someday I will make those noodles, ramen are difficult they require special high alkaline water.

All of these dishes were made recipe free except the crackers, if you need any help or want to know ingredients ask I like teaching to cook.
If I thought I was good at anything it would be cooking, I am TOTALLY at home in the kitchen, and it is my favorite hobby.
 
dessert was apricot pie (I canned them from my mother-in-laws back yard)

Looks great Travis. I can almost hear you sucking air in that last photo! "Did I put enough chilies on them?"
