Plates...

I'm not sure what is going on with me in my kitchen, but this past year and the start of the new year, I have broken more of my dishes than I ever have in my entire life. It's been a frustration because I used those baking dishes a lot and the plates and bowls were some of my favorite. Whatever it is, maybe I'm just to let it go. I know I can't do anything about it but I get upset with myself because it keeps happening and it's driving me crazy. So I am just going to let go and start collecting mismatched plates and dishes when I can - I like that idea!

Kitchen...

 

My middle son has taken a liken to being in the kitchen, whether it's baking or cooking. He has become very helpful when I'm cooking dinner, he'll come in and work on part of it while I'm working on another part of dinner. One evening I knew I was going to be home late, so I asked him to fix a meal he knew how to fix for him and his sister and I would eat when I got home. Boy was that nice... I walked in the door, took my coat off and dinner only had to be warmed up and it was ready. A girl could get use to that!!! But it's really nice to to have him participate making the meals and just hang out together, gathering more tips and ideas for thing he wants to make.

Chopping, Mixing, and Baking...

It is the day before Thanksgiving and I've been in the kitchen with all but two of my nieces and nephews. We are all talking, laughing, chopping, mixing and baking and I couldn't think of a better way to spend a day full of gratitude! Looking forward to the end of the day when all the family will be together, a roaring fire will be made and the love will flow all around.

Live...

" The past is gone, and we cannot get it back.

We can only live in the present moment"

Van Praagh

This is where my focus is today ~ the present moment! I am baking, cooking, cleaning, planning, sharing, and " all is well."
