How are you? Did you have a good weekend? I had a quiet-around-the- house one.
Oh but I did fry an egg.
And I made toast and jelly ...
And I drank alot of coffee.
And as for today - let's see ... bills, laundry, errands, and hopefully finally getting to my emails.
And maybe some time in the garden ...
Have a great Monday, okay? I know - let's have one TOGETHER.
Love,
Kim
It's that time of day again. And I still love catching it - memorizing it - feeling it.
Late sun. Like the finale in a fireworks show - it dazzles and delights and gives every day objects a certain glow ...
And it never shines or shimmers in the exact same way ever again.
Amazing, isn't it?
I hope you all have a beautiful weekend.
xo,
Kim
Meatloaf is not exactly my favorite, I must admit, however my family loves mine. They are toooooo kind, believe me! ;-) But it seems to be their comfort food.
I use ground beef, ketchup, an egg, a dash of worcestershire sauce, a slightly dampened slice of bread that I tear in to little pieces and I just mix it all up in a big bowl. Then I form a loaf and cover the top with ketchup and season it with salt, pepper, and lots of parsley. I bake it @ 350 for an hour... maybe a little more. And of course I change things up sometimes ... like adding garlic or parmesan cheese. But usually I just make a basic meat loaf.
Someone else really likes it too. But he didn't get any. Oh he tried. He stared and stared and stared.
Sadly for him, meatloaf is not on his special diet. ;-)
So that's what we had for dinner last night here at Daisy Cottage. Hubby is recuperating from knee surgery that he had on Monday so I felt that meatloaf was definitely in order. :-)
What do you make for your family when they are craving a little bit of comfort food???

Oh these are SO gorgeous! I LOVE crepe myrtles and they are in full bloom here in my town. These beautiful pink ones belong to our dear neighbors. I see these from my office window. They literally take my breath away with their beauty.
Sigh. They are just SO lovely.
What's blooming in YOUR world????
Please share!
Love,
Kim
Yes, in the kitchen again ...
But not to cook or clean mind you ...
But to indulge in some of my sister's yummy homemade potato salad.
I love being in the kitchen, don't you?
;-)

*edited to add my sister's recipe because I truly love you.

SISTER JILL'S HOMEMADE POTATO SALAD
5 LB BAG OF SMALL RED POTATOES
2 EGGS
1/2 VIDALLIA ONION, CHOPPED
CELERY, CHOPPED (THE SAME AMOUNT AS THE ONION)
TWO CUPS MAYONNAISE
1/3 CUP MUSTARD (half yellow mustard, half golden brown mustard)
1 TSP VINEGAR
1/2 TSP SUGAR
SALT & PEPPER TO TASTE
Boil potatoes and eggs. Drain and cool completely. Peel and cut up potatoes. Peel and cut up eggs. Mix mayo and mustard, vinegar, and sugar in separate bowl. Add celery and onion to the cooled pototatoes. Next add dressing mixture and slowly mix together. It should be wet as potatoes will soak up the dressing as it sits. Reserve any extra dressing in case you want to add in more.
Chill well and serve.
