The design of our Arizona featured image

Posted by | May 31, 2017 | | 0 |

Our new featured image is colored in blue with red highlights. You might be wondering what’s up with the image and the colors? Lets’ start with the image first.

Luau Pork Roast

I first made this at my husband, Tom’s request in 2004 after he described the flavor of a pig roast at a luau in Hawaii with family in the ’90s.
