A crisp morning with bright sunshine
What a crisp morning. Bright sunshine made the single digit temps a lot easier to take. I caught hubby Dennis in a domestic mood and we hit the kitchen big time. This evening will be chili via Dennis’ culinary skills. As the stock pot was simmering to reduce the liquid in the chili it was the perfect time to get the oven heated to bake out a package of thick sliced bacon for use later on in the week. Martha Stewart eat your heart out. The aroma wafting out of the kitchen on Stauffer Avenue was second to none.
When we sat back with a cup of coffee we decided nothing would top off the evening meal like a piece of chocolate cake. It’s a good thing the oven was just finishing up the bacon. A trip to the pantry and a box cake was soon mixed and baking to add to the kitchen’s fare. Quite a few cooking and baking dishes along with the usual and customary splatters were cluttering up the kitchen. Dennis has always been my all time favorite dish washer and in no time the dishes were washed and I followed up getting them dried and put away. Being very pleased with ourselves we were set to kick back a bit having everything under control. This was a great day.
