Good grief.. all the black posts and negativity. I went into this election equally disgusted and ashamed of both candidates. This election was disgraceful and hateful on both sides. But I did my duty and cast my vote knowing that whichever way it swung, whoever became president, it is truly up to #wethepeople to create unity or division. To make our country a place where people don't feel so backed into a corner and unheard that their votes are based on fear or the lesser of two evils. That we all stand together and choose something greater... love and respect and compassion for one another regardless of whether or not we agree. And be greatful we live somewhere we do get a vote. Now.. I think I need to back away from social media for a while. Sorry for the soapbox rant! #gratitude #lovetrumpshate #democracy #freedom #unity #UNITEDStatesofAmerica

I need a pillow form that actually fits but I finished this pillow. First time with piping and my thread was giving me problems so this was a frustrating finish but it turned out pretty cute. Just don't look too close!! #handmade #pillow @artgalleryfabrics @katarinaroccella #pandalicious #merryandbrightcushioncover @amysinibaldi

Working my way through this cookbook and another winner. Easy pulled pork with great flavor. Served with pepper jack and homemade coleslaw on homemade flour tortillas. #homemadefood #pulledpork #backtothekitchen @realfreddieprinze

Tonight I tried a recipe from - you guessed it - Back to the Kitchen called the Bob Wall burger. We had them on homemade everything rolls and they were a hit all around. So we're 4 for 4. Trying another one tomorrow. We're on a roll. #backtothekitchen #bobwallburger @realfreddieprinze

Tried a 3rd recipe from Back to the Kitchen and we're 3 for 3. Honey-Cayenne grilled chops and they are so so good. And this one was made by my 16 year old, Andrew, who's learning to grill. #homemadefood #grilling #honeycayennegrilledchops #backtothekitchen @realfreddieprinze

Okay. I said super good. Let's change that to amazing after its hour long simmer. Wow. Will make this a regular thing. Wow. I can see why it's called #stalkerpasta! Wow @realfreddieprinze #backtothekitchen
