Easy!

Having a wood fired brick oven can be easy.

 Great job and what a beautiful place to entertain...

TALKING ABOUT THEIR ROUNDBOY OVEN

  With foot surgery scheduled on August 22 I spent most of my summer preparing and trying to "get ahead".  The surgery is over and I am recovering. I spent 21 days in bed with my foot elevated and iced. I have graduated to a boot from a cast and I am downstairs and using my knee walker. I have realized you can't really "get ahead"! I am so thankful for all the help I have. My family has taken care of me and the house, my partner and co workers have taken care of The Beauty Shoppe and it seems I have some wonderful Roundboy oven owners who are talking about their ovens on their Blogs.
 I can't bake in our wood fired oven until I am recovered and I spend quite a bit of my time looking for new things to try. We love to use our oven in the Fall and I hope to be on my feet and enjoying the oven before Fall is over.

The blog by Debbiedoo's is a wonderful review of our oven and the experience they had installing and customizing their Roundboy oven. I have become a fan of this blog. She has such a flair for decorating and writing!

This review of a Roundboy oven by MajorPandemic is really everything you could want to know about the oven. The blogger writes about things you can use everyday that also prepare you for a major disaster. We have used our oven a few times when the power is out. Having a wood fired over and friends over to enjoy a power outage is really fun!  

Since I can't share with you a new recipe and wood fired baking experience until I am "back on my feet" I thought I would share with you what other Roundboy oven owners are saying. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Thanks to both Bloggers for helping a girl out while she is off her feet... 
 

SUMMER TREATS

I Love Summer....

WE HAVE BEEN BUSY!

We* have been really busy this Spring. 

 We* mulched the blueberry patch.

 I think we will have a nice amount of blueberries this summer!


We* planted a nice garden.

We* opened the pool.

Karl and Amanda picked strawberries.

Our neighbor Travis plowed and planted corn for us. Doesn't he have a nice tractor? 

Our Memorial weekend started out a little scary. Charlie my aging Old English Sheepdog met up with a snake by our backyard pond. The snake bit him and he fell into the pond. Charlie was not able to get out of the pond and I was the only one home to help him. I did rescue him and we ended up a muddy mess! I hosed us off and noticed his leg was swelling up. After a trip to his vet we learned that he was bitten by a snake more then one place. The snakes bites caused cellulitis. Charlie is recovering nicely with antibiotics. We* will be getting rid of the pond this Fall as Charlie and I do not like snakes!!

After all that we have been up to I thought an easy wood fired meal would be best. I bought a Tenderloin already marinated and we* grilled it in our oven.  Fast and easy was the way to go! We* picked some delicious lettuce from the garden and I made a big salad. Wood fired cooking can be sooo easy!

 We* means Karl! He points that out to me every time I find a new project that we* need to do...
