Quilting my own quilt,

going well!

The process continues...

Michael is preparing to go to Mark's

annual "Bring Your Own Meat Party."

So, he asked Al and I to join him

at Craft Butchers in Westport

for lunch and shopping.

The food looks beautiful and look

at those home grown tomatoes!!!

The Butcher really "got" the whole 

bring your own meat party and 

shared with Michael his suggestions.

Final purchase:

Tongue

Beef Heart

Lamb Heart

Chicken Heart

All with sauce, marinade or

cooking suggestions!

They also offer classes, 

think those might be in 

the future!
