hey fat boy! (Updated with hot sauce recipe link!)

(h/t to Max-a-million)

"Hey fat boy, I wanna make you smile
Hey big boy, come play with me for a while"

i used to love that song! you can look it up on youtube if you so desire. but trust me, it'll get you dancing!

below is the reason why we have been singing "fat boy" all week long.

when i first saw him, i thought he was a she. i yelled to jambaloney - "babe! we have a pregnant female!". but then jambaloney noticed his ruby red throat which you can't see in the picture. male humminbirds have ruby red throats, whereas the females have white throats.  anyway, he's the fattest hummingbird we have ever seen and he actually looks slim in the picture!

he guards that feeder like a maniac. he lets some of the girls drink but he won't let a male anywhere near it. it's fun to sit at the table and watch the hummingbirds. but whenever he shows up we start singing "fat boy" and it always makes us laugh.

here's some daikon radish and carrot kimchi i made the other day. it's super yummy! i'll put the recipe up on our recipe blog in the next day or two. i have just up my recipe for homemade hot sauce for Mike - i hope he enjoys it!

i love spaghetti that has tons of mushrooms and meat in the sauce. i make the sauce from scratch.

here it is with some deliciously-aged parmesan - yummeh - and some fresh greens from the greenhouse with the radish/carrot kimchi as the dressing - it went down really good!

allrighty - it's a bit of a rainy day today - nothing like some of you have been experiencing - just a normal rainy day and the garden is loving it! we've been doing regular gardening things the last few days and today we are doing jobs around the house. and enjoying the rain by leaving our bath robes in the plastic-wrapped porch, running outside naked in the rain and then jumping in the hottub - it's awesome!

i hope that you all are enjoying your day too!
