Anna, that is a great pic! Check out Scenic Photos 2 for more fireworks shots--DebK has been busy!
You must have been watching Paula Deen on the cooking show. She is great. Her food is NOT for dieters in any way, shape or form

But it's fun to watch someone who really enjoys cooking and eating the food. I've tried a couple of her recipes and they're quite good. There's a yummy one for baked potato topping:

This makes a meal in itself and is really good.
I agree--the price of groceries does seem to be creeping up. It makes sense, with the price of oil going up, as shipping costs are higher and those will be passed down to us, of course.
I have spent the spring really filling up my pantry and freezer. This summer I am going to try to limit my grocery shopping to immediate needs including perishables & produce and beyond that, a max of $10 a week on "really good sales."
