Visiting

Sorry about the absence. It was a beautiful weekend here on the Farm. We had company late Saturday-- 11, counting us. We feasted on barbequed chicken, squash casserole,* delicious sides-- courtesy of our experimental-cooking guests-- and chocolate cake and coffee.

Naturally, the kids stayed over. We had buttermilk pancakes for breakfast! Later, Miss M, Bruno, and I took the dogs for a run.

This and other weekends remind Mr. Big Food and I of the section in our weekly newspaper titled "Time Capsules." The staff at the newspaper office-- I've only ever seen two people there-- scour the archives and report on what was happening in the county 75, 50, and 25 years ago. A taste:
