haydock's

the mister and i have been wanting to go to haydock's for a couple months now and we were finally able to meet there for lunch today. we heard that they have some mean bbq going on there and we love a good smoked, grilled or bbq anything!

who wants to buy me a fancy camera?

i have come to the conclusion that i need (want. need. want?) a digital slr (single lens reflex) camera. my trusty digital camera is great but in order to take better, brighter, truer photographs of food, i think i need a dslr. thats what all the cool kids with food blogs use.

i long to be one of the cool kids.

anyone have one they want to sell to me on the cheap?

this is the best pic i got out of the batch i shot tonight, and it's just meh. the light wasnt great since the sun was already down so that didnt help either. the burger looks grey when in fact in was delicious and perfectly cooked- pink and juicy inside and a lovely golden brown on the outside (high five, daniel!) and the special sauce looks kinda gross in these, too, but was tasty.

chipotle, lime and honey marinated pork chops

i saw this recipe on a paleo blog, fast paleo, and even though we arent eating the paleo way, it just sounded like a delicious recipe. i try to throw in paleo friendly meals once or twice a week just to cut down on our carbs. all that matters to me when i choose a recipe is that it makes me want to put that food in my belly, but it definitely gets major bonus points if its healthy, too!
