Now have some beans simmering for minestrone. Will add bits from the cabinet, including the rest of the red lentils. I have some Polish sausage to brown and some shell pasta, some garlic/olive oil tomatoes in a can and maybe some split peas will finish it off. When I'm done, the cabinet will be empty! Then will whip some cornbread muffins. A cozy meal for a mild day. SIB will probably be here for dinner. He and oldest daughter are out and about---they've gone to one of the art galleries and are taking it easy. I love days like this. The weather is key to my mood---cooler days make me feel so content.
Oh, and the main squeeze and I are going to watch a movie later on as well. We're thinking an old Merchant Ivory one---his idea. Now, if nobody tells him about the Batman marathon on one of the channels, I can see the movie of my choice. We'll see if everyone keeps mum!
