Saturday Snippets and a New Grilling Toy!

Pig Alert! Check out the new grilling toy tool I found at World Market, it's a Terracotta Ceramic Pig Hibachi! Isn't she cute, I've named her Terra Bella:@) While this type of ceramic grill may be new to us in the US, I hear they're pretty popular in Mexico? Don't know for sure, just what I read. For some reason I really want to paint her, trying to decide if I want to embrace my inner hippie and go with a flower-power theme or lean more towards red, white and blue...

Bella will come out on those days I'm grilling a little something for just myself and feel like using charcoal. The grate area is 5.5" x 8", only big enough for maybe two hamburgers, 4-6 hot dogs, one steak, etc. Gonna take her for a test drive today. Stay tuned...

I found these Planters Chipotle Peanuts at Walmart-boy are they a tasty snack! I had to chuckle, while it wasn't on the ingredient list the first thing that hit my taste buds was lime... They have a smidge of heat to them but I consider them mild, especially if served with an ice cold adult beverage:@) If you like smoky chipotle folks, you'll love these nuts!

And lastly, I'll leave you with a quick pic of my 4th of July feather tree. 

Time for me to start focusing on making and finding decorations for the Eagles/football tree I'll put up next!

 I hope you're all having a great 4th of July weekend-

The rain has cleared out and it should be a spectacular two days here in Philly!

PS-I stopped by the craft stores today and they're already putting out fall and Halloween items... amazing.

Have a happy day:@)
