Welcome (continued) We're back! Home safe from Ireland and Scotland, but not without plenty of incident, including a ton of fabulous scenery and a stint in the hoosegow...no kidding, I got thrown in an Irish gaol (jail) and had my passport confiscated. Another experience to rack up and add to the many I've already enjoyed...or should I say, lived through. But more about that later, or for the full story, see the Irish Pictures. But the good news is we've returned--home safe--with lots of fabulous photos and even more wonderful recipes. Click here to go to beautiful, and slightly dangerous, Ireland. Click here to go to beautiful Scotland. If you want to add a whole new dimension to your meals, scintillating side dishes are the quickest way to do so. That, too, is coming. I’m excited about my new store at www.cafepress.com/wolfpackranch and hope you’ll visit soon. You can pick up a lot of great gifts and maybe even something for yourself. Here are some more of my favorite and most trusted stores: 27 Food Gift Stores - 11 Flower Shops - 9 Kitchen Shops 12 Garden & Outdoors Stores - 14 Toy & Children's Shops 5 Pet Supply Shops - 16 Sports Equipment Stores 17 Travel Sites - 7 Auto, RV, Boat & Motorcycle Shops I’ve often been frustrated when searching the web for a product such as flowers, and finding the search engines have them spread out all over the place. So I decided to do something about it. I’m compiling pages with products by subject, so if you want ‘flowers’ you’ll find all (or as many as I can find) and then you can easily compare products and prices. Give it a look on my page. Click on the picture of the field of Italian poppies and daisies (taken in Tuscany) to take a peek. Hey, the old webpage is coming along with a few newly presented but tried and true recipes being added almost daily. Kat and I, having chickened out, are now spending a couple of the worst of Montana’s winter months in Central California on the coast.  The good news is it’s the home of cutting-edge cooking and among its far-to-many houses and people are nestled some of the most productive fruit and vegetable ranches in the world. Some of you know that I spent a lot of years selling farms and ranches and working with those folks as well as with food processors. These winter months give us a chance to catch up with old friends as well as visit many of the “what’s happening” restaurants from Santa Barbara to Newport Beach and purloin some recipes to pass along. If you’re a new visitor to the page we’d like to welcome you to The Kitchen at Wolfpack Ranch, where we’re all about good food and country cooking--what country depends upon what’s in the pantry on a given day. If you want to enjoy the videos on this webpage, I suggest you go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mac.html and do the free download for QuickTime 7. Many of you know that I'm the author of 20 published novels, and have another web page devoted to that vocation. Check out www.ljmartin.com. Links to our webpage... Recipes Who’s L.J.
