Rain, Rain, Go Away.....


Another rainy day. Right now, Cassandra and I, we are staying warm by the fireplace and waiting for dinner to finish up. We'll stay warm and cozy and maybe finish reading her book, "The Tale of Despereux". We'll see.

Tomorrow is a busy day, I have her parent/teacher conference and am really looking forward to that. They are always good and I don't have any problems so it is not stressful to go.

Stay warm. Stay dry. Stay cozy!

StAyInG CoZy!!!



The other day was a cold, blustery day. Tried to stay warm but it didn't seem to be an easy thing to do.

I decided to make a wonderful ChIcKeN PoT PiE!! I put all of my ingredients together and threw it in the old stoneware pie plate and topped it off with a nice little crust. After brushing it with egg and a bit of milk, popped it in the oven. The smell was sooo yummy and I just love having something in the oven on a cold day and being able to dig in and enjoy a nice 1 dish meal. Those are the best, casseroles, pot pies, crock pot dinners... love them all! Anyway, when it was finished to a beautiful golden brown, I placed it on the old wooden cutting board. I just love the sound of the stoneware being placed on the wood. Something about that sound brings back warm memories and thoughts of a simple time. When we all lived lives that were not rushed and the sound of laughter could be heard all around the neighborhood and noone had a care in the world. Anyway, we enjoyed the fruits of my labor of love and it ended up being a nice toasty evening after all.
