Dinner-time on Saturday

The house is in a bit of a kerfuffle, but am cooking nonetheless.  Have two dear little chickens roasting in the oven and the meat mixings simmering on top of the stove for tomorrow's boeuf bourguignon. Yeah, we're being fancy this weekend. In a minute will cut up some white potatoes to put in the oven as well. Gary has this thing for little brown potatoes and he can be so cute asking, I feel bound to comply. Oh, and did I mentioned that it'd been lightly raining off and on?  Perfect.

Finished reading the Nick Bantock book The Forgetting Room this afternoon.  Wonderful and one that got my creative juices flowing---not in terms of cooking, but more in terms of my paints, charcoals and so on. Well, let's say that now I have no excuses to get my hands dirty.

"It was me who shied away from self-expression."  A perfect quote from the book, and one that speaks to me since I tend to either, over-think things, or believe I've got to do something perfect (ha-ha) before I'm allowed to even try.  Think again.

Anyway, will try to tidy up the joint in a minute.  Get the girls to turn off the X-Box (the noise it makes drives me crazy) and think about what to wear tomorrow to church.  I have one best skirt that's getting a bit old for wearing, so maybe there's something I've missed.  Will go see.

Take care and enjoy your weekend.
