There has been some cooking happening here on the acreage.  Nano and I welcomed company yesterday at my sister’s house.

Family company.  The road is never long to the kitchen of family.  Well, sometimes it Is rather long but for these it was three hours.

We call that doable!

You know how I love the kitchen.  A fridge, stove, oven, sharp knife (always sharp) fresh ingredients, a few spices…  You get where I ‘m headed.

Good times in the kitchen!   My love offering to friends and family is often kitchen related.  Makes my heart happy.
