Ready to be served...no more cooking.

Home Cookin'

After buying these foods all the time, Sarah and I got into cooking mode a few weeks back and thought we'd try the do-it-from-scratch method. We worked up these four things in one night...then rested and had left-overs. For those who are wondering, it's Italian herb bread, tabouli salad, cilantro hummus, and salsa.

And finally, the silhouette of a tree and the setting sun.

Going for the framed shot. Hard to eliminate the flare.

Finally got out and took some sunset pics. Ironically, the smoke from the Malibu fire gave more of an ambience to an already beautiful setting.
