Fall first.

“To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living.” 
― Anthony Bourdain, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly

Thoughts on dinner tonight:

 I'm keeping it simple and humble. Today is the first really "Fall" kind of day we've had. Dreary, rainy, and cold. So I thought I'd make one of my favorite cold weather meals with a very slight twist. Vegetable Beef Soup, but instead of corn bread I'm making fried biscuits. Like I said, simple and humble, but in my experience most of the best and most satisfying meals have been created by simple humble people when times were hard and there wasn't much to really work with. So you won't hear any complaints about this sort of dish from me. So long as you exclude the fact that it isn't ready yet.

I love to cook. Plain and simple. I enjoy making delicious food for myself and the people I care about. So heads up, in the future,If I offer you a place at my table, take it, or have a damn good reason why you can't. 

OKAY!

So, here's the part where I tell you about things you should check out...Like Allstate for you auto, home owners and life insurance. Yep, that's right, the good hands people offer life insurance. Bet you didn't know that.

All Things Food, with Ashley Beck

Check this blog out if your into food/cooking and the sort. My sis is way more active on here than I am but unfortunately, there are even fewer people reading her page regularly than there are reading mine. Which is sad. Especially sad since the whole idea behind mine is self promotion, and apparently I suck at it.

LOOK!!! A PUPPY!!!
