There’s something about Sunday mornings in the kitchen.

Coffee’s starting to kick in, sun’s beginning to shine through the window, tummy’s starting to rumble. Why make a quick breakfast, when an entire quiche will leave you with leftovers for the week? Ray Charles or Ella Fitzgerald on the radio, everybody’s grooving- the oven’s already on, so why not make some muffins, or bread? And since you’re waiting, make some grains for dinner another night. Get out the big cutting board, and suddenly you’re chopping to the beat. Everything’s prepped, now, so toss it in the dutch oven, and simmer a soup for the rest of the day. All sorts of experiments and tastings to be had- this is how I give thanks.

Since I don’t go to church anymore, so this will be the legacy I leave them- Sunday morning blues… xo
