After my last attempt at a recipe for marinated cheese turned out good but 'meh, I've been waiting to give this one a try since I love, love goat cheese anyhow. So it's now percolating in the fridge for at least 24hrs. www.howsweeteats.com/2019/12/mari...

Burgers off the grill tonight with some Bush's hickory baked beans, and I made a batch of Tennessee Onions (baked sweet onions with butter & cheese). Great as a side of it's own, but we put them on our burgers 😃 #Foodie #CookingSKY

Always darker when they're angry, but another 4hr session & now my baby boy Monty has been added to the portrait. One more 1hr session for touch ups in Feb. and I'll be done, at least with this one. 🙂 #Cats #Tattoo #Ink #CatsofBSKY

We have a local cottage baker who specializes in Sourdough breads. We ordered a new Southwest flavor we had yet to try - Green Chili/Colby Jack cheese and it is amazing. Could not wait to try it with the marinated cheese I made the other day. Yummo! #Foodie #CookingSky

Decided to give marinated cheese a spin. So many options, but I stuck with sharp cheddar and Mozzie before spending more money on gourmet cheeses. It needs to marinate overnight so I'll try it for breakfast 😀 #CookingSky #foodie

After reading on a FB page that there was a Salvadoran church in the next town over that are now selling, on Saturdays only, pupusas. We raced over to grab some & stuff our faces. This means no more driving to Vegas just for the real deal. Yay!

After losing both of our beloved boys this year to 2 different cancers, I've started my journey of memorializing them & covering a 30yr old tat. I was lucky enough to find a realism artist who was very familiar with using their cremains in the ink. #catsofbluesky
