I’ve made enough bowl recipes over the past year to know that most bowls involve numerous elements, and placement and presentation are a significant part of what makes up a bowl. I made one of the recipes from my post Ten to Try tonight, chicken egg roll bowl. It’s essentially…

I had no problem deciding the theme for this post, since we spent the morning at the Palm Beach Zoo. It has probably been 10 years since the last time we went there, and the visit reminded us of what a nice zoo it is. One area of the zoo…
