Hello and welcome to our Blogwarming Party!

We're having a bloggy open house all week to show off our newly renovated blog.

Today's party food is: Stromboli (shown here)

Stromboli is one of our all-time favorite party foods to make. It's super easy to make, you can vary the fillings, and everyone wants seconds.

Here are two more recipes that Frank posted on his own blog, Deaf Chef at Large:

• Spare Ribs and Kraut
  
• Grilled Fruit Compote Mmm, I love fruity desserts

Grab a plate and come along for the tour of our new place. Don't forget to sign our guestbook!

1. Our new living room decor
   
2. The Kitchen
   
3. The Cubes
   
4. Unwelcome Visitors

Today's door prize is the book "Roasting - Simple Recipes for Perfect Roasts" a fruit and nut chocolate bar, and a set of 5 cow print bubble magnets.
(a $10 value)

I have several of these cookbooks. I love that they show you a full page picture for each recipe so you can decide what to make based on how good it looks. Since we roast a lot at home, I thought it would be fun to share a book on roasting. Some of these recipes can be modified for the grill if you use indirect heat and have the time to babysit the grill. On lazy summer days, that's not a bad idea... sitting outside with a few beers, babysitting the grill, reading a book, enjoying the day...

These magnets are so much fun. I attached some cow print fabric and coordinating "moo...moo...moo..." fabric to the underside of 5 glass bubbles, then attached a heavy duty magnet to the back. These will hold 5 pieces of paper or a couple photographs to your fridge. Since our front door is metal, I use these for outgoing mail or other things that need to go out so I don't forget them when I leave.
