Dark and rainy day.

Been craving wings. Tried 2 different methods. Both good 

I did but didn’t get the results I wanted. 

Ham, mushroom and spinach quiche. I like tomatoes on top but it affected how it baked. Still good though. 

My current job. Shower before. 

After. 

Dark, rainy day had me baking pumpkin, walnut muffins. 

And chili for dinner. 

Pumpkins and fire too. 

Everyone getting cozy. 

Sandy

Coco looking a little thick. 

For Mom

I know I can’t top the breakfast queen but I did ok today. 

Started with an iffy avocado. I think I got cheated in the seed to fruit ratio? Is avocado a fruit? Guess so. 

Just as I suspected. 

Still had enough for my English muffin. 

Then it got even better. 

Cute pic of Monty on his way to McDonald’s. Ivy said he gets a sausage patty. All the workers know him. 

All Saints Day 

You love it or hate it…

…and I for one love it. So does Ed fortunately. Liver and onions. 

In search for inspiration, I was perusing the meat counter and spied some calves liver. Haven’t cooked them in a long time. Tons of onion. 

There are 2 schools of thought on how to do this. Sauté with or without flour. I chose flour because Ed loves gravy. It was great. Enough for an army though. 

The finished plate. Ed had rice for his gravy. I had a bit of leftover baked potato. 

Chowing down on a bone. 

Sandy got it next. 

First of the season

First fire. Keeping it small because it’s so dry outside. 

First candle too. 

After Mary Grace’s haircut today , we tried a new place. 

Brisket sandwich was good. 

Cold finally comes and the food.

Guess this little guy got cold. We have been trying to catch him before a cat or dog does. Jan and I braved the weather 

( at least she did, I was fine ) to take a walk this morning. 

Came home and made homemade chicken noodle soup. I saved you some, Mom. 

Then I made oatmeal cookies. What next. 

I’ve acquired a taste for roasted butternut squash and sweet potatoes. Better for me than tater tot’s. 

I thought the dogs had discovered every missing old tennis ball in the backyard. The drought has really affected the ground covers so things are showing up. 

I’ve been forced to play with the dog’s ears for entertainment. 

And every time I get up from reading Sandy steals my chair. 

Doggy stuff….and foood

In case you are feeling sorry for Sandy in regards to Coco’s chair…don’t. 

She manages to get comfy most anywhere. 

Even the floor. 

Things can get rowdy. 

The chair.

Remember the chair Ed was measuring for? Well here it is. Think it’s big enough?  I told him it looks like I’ve got a big ole fat husband. 

Hard to tell when she is over there. 

She was afraid of it. 

Then she tried it. 

Uh oh.  He may have measured the wrong way. 

Success.
