Happy Friday! I am glad this day is here!  What a zoo in the life of zesty this week.  But I would rather be busy than bored.  I have an action packed post ahead…. well not really but I did get you excited I bet.

Zesty Does Design

If you can believe it,  Zesty design work after the blog makeover contest  has been incredibly busy with people interested in making some updates to their existing blogs or starting a new one.   I want to take a few minutes of your time and have a simple survey to see if people would be interested in a blog  manual written to describe a series of common questions and hurdles when setting up your own blog, self hosted vs non self hosted, migrating your blog from a different platform, security issues etc.

Let me know your thoughts and by all means tell all your friends about the survey.  The manual will have a small fee with a  portion given to a selected charity.

Back to the food.  Remember I told you that zesty will be bouncing around from kitchen to kitchen cooking up a storm – well this has been holding true.  Last night I was invited to my Mom’s for dinner which is always exciting.  We had a gorgeous roast pork with some garlic mashed potatoes – gotta love that.

I always have my camera with me so I was able to take some shots of last night’s dinner.

On the Plate

• Oven Roasted Pork Tenderloin with an Onion Chutney
• Garlic mashed potatoes
• Steamed carrots
• In the Roaster Potatoes ( love these guys! )
• Pan Gravy with the pork drippings ( all low fat so no worries! )

House Update

Everything is packed up in storage and we are living the life of bins and totes but loving it.  The land preparation is coming along quite well.  We just have received the test results regarding the soil, survey of the land is scheduled for this week ( hopefully today) and then we need to move on to the building permit, deed and temporary electric hook up.

In Closing

Have yourself a great Friday and I really appreciate you taking a second to enter a comment or take the survey.  I would really like to make a difference in the food blogging world and if I can do it by helping people get their blogs off the ground – I will work hard to do that.

Take care
