Smells Like Fall
Outside: wind and rain.
On the stove: two pots. One boiling chicken for tonight’s Chicken and Dumplings, the other with the rest of the chicken and some vegetables for stock and Chicken Noodle Soup later on.
Open on the table: three lovely cookbooks. The Joy of Cooking and The Art of Simple Food, both on loan from a friend (a veeeery long loan. And now she’s reading this and thinking, “Yeah, she HAS had those a long time!), the other is mine all mine, The River Cottage Family Cookbook, recommended from Kate at The Clean Plate Club.
Downstairs: three boys (including one husband) playing Wii.
Smells like Fall on a Sunday afternoon in here. Smells like home.
sounds so perfect!
love it. LOVE it. don’t you love the river cottage book?
I totally skipped over the food and went directly to the fact that hubby was playing with the kids.
I am green with envy. Maybe we need to get a Wii?
Oh God, listen to me. Bringing a video game console into the house. Another one at that.
I must be losing my mind.
OR, I would do just about anything for some peace and quiet.
Sounds perfect!
ahhh, i love the fall-
sounds great
