Taking On Water

This weeks menu is not at all representative of "an average June" menu. Watching the seven day out look I see rain, rain and rain.Today I have a ham and baked beans in the oven. The grass is tall and wet and the pig pen is thick with mud.I do not suspect we will be sitting on the deck using the BBQ or out by the fire. We had wanted to introduce Charm to Nickel in far to wet and slick. In place of the grill we will be making use of the panini press and rice cooker .
