A rich, simmering blend of my favorite things

Birthday month

| 1,178 Comments

I can’t believe I haven’t written a thing in September. But you know what? It is my birthday month. So, I decided to take some time off. Besides, the past few weeks have been filled with takeout, dining out, and travel. I’ve been a busy bee.

But, my friends, I am happy to say that I’m about to get back on the horse. I was speaking with a friend earlier today and though I am saddened by the end of our short, stunted, Seattle summer, I have to say that I’m starting to look forward to fall. I’m looking forward to making big pots of soup, casseroles, and things that slow cook for hours, making my house smell like heaven. In fact, I began my journey again this weekend by making a pot of my favorite turkey white bean chili. I was also making another round of Dr. Pepper pork butt on Saturday when some friends stopped by for a surprise visit and card game in my backyard. When we were sitting out there playing, someone said that it smelled like honeysuckle and barbeque out there.

I said that it was my natural scent.

I wish. Who would need Chanel when you could smell like honeysuckle and bbq?

Soon posts will start flowing again. I’m about to get back into the kitchen and I’ve got some new recipes I can’t wait to make.

Warning: I just got a new Paula Dean cookbook on my recent trip to Savannah. Be prepared for butter. Lots of butter.
