It’s no secret that I love Barbecue. In fact I crave it. To me, nothing brings out the flavor of food better than being cooked over an open fire. Meat that is slow cooked makes me salivate. Thus, I love sharing new discoveries. Here I am sharing a new discovery…Old School Barbecue(video). I hope you enjoy this and try it out if you happen to be driving outside of Monroe, WA.

A tradition for many as the harvest or fall season comes upon us is a trip to a Pumpkin Patch.

Events such as folk music, escorted horse rides, hay bail mazes, and of course the pumpkin patch to find the numerous pumpkins make a day to remember.
