Food: Past, present, and future

Past and Future Food: Started a compost pile in the backyard. What more fun could I have? We'd like to start a garden, and this should help us with that.

Past and Present Food: Cooked up some leftover dirty rice from home (shown) and learned that peanut butter goes terrific with my sister's delicious fudge (also from home, and also pictured).

In non-food-related news, we took advantage of Wal-Mart's big sale on post-christmas items and we bought some silver and blue-colored decorations (colors associated with celebrating the winter soltice), including two blue stockings.
