We admired the lush (not something you see every day in this arid climate, folks) backyard while sipping our wine.

Is this setting beautiful or what? Kind of makes me feel bad for serving on paper plates earlier this year. I'm gonna have to represent next time I host.
The entree was the hit of the evening. We stuffed ourselves and still left clutching our goodie bags to enjoy for lunch the next day.
Shiitake Macadamia Nut Stuffed Pork Chops
and
Cranberry Macadamia Nut Stuffing
Trust me - you want to make this for your next family get-together. Also would make a wonderful alternative to a traditional Thanksgiving Meal.
Stay tuned for the appetizers and the desserts...
