In my kitchen

The kitchen is the heartbeat of our home.  There is always something going on here.  Always a gathering of bodies.  Here are some of the things we've been up to during the week...

*                      *                         *                          *                     *                       *                       *

I am late sharing this, but sometimes I have to slow down a bit more than usual.  Especially when sickness knocks on our door.  It has been unseasonably cold these past few days and I'm thinking that's what accounts for the nasty virus we've all caught?  Anyhow.  C'est la vie.  

:: Roasted eggplant before becoming babaghanoush

:: A batch of homemade granola (this one for a friend)  

:: Marinating shrimp in garlic, olive oil, and lemon before ending up as dinner.  It is a feast day today and feast days are a special affair in our home.  :)  

:: Fresh spinach (and lettuce and mint) from the garden for our salad.  (Some of the peppers for the pasta were from our garden, but these two were not.)

:: Making donuts.  Then eating them of course!  I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you've ever had fresh warm, donuts, life become so much more delicious.  

:: As mentioned, our table is not always for food and eating.  Elaborate train tracks, for example, are perfectly at home here.  

Wishing you fullness in your own kitchen!
