I must be sick.
Yesterday at 2 pm found me in the kitchen cooking -
by choice.
I was grilling Italian Sausages.
Steaming artichokes.
And making spaghetti sauce - from scratch.
For some crazy reason, I woke up wanting to cook.
I went to the store and bought all the ingredients.
I passed up the bottled spaghetti sauces and even eschewed the packet of spaghetti seasonings.
And get this - I used fresh basil from my plant in the kitchen
I used fresh parsley from the garden.
(I thought parsley was an annual. Why do I have four parsley plants and chives where I planted them last year?)
After dinner, I went to my neighbors to package up 350 "bird's nests" for her daughter's wedding.
But I digress. We both moved here 14 years ago.
Our kids were teeny. Now they are old. Her's are all gone.
Anyway, I asked her if she remembered the days when we cooked EVERY NIGHT.
Ahhhh...........those were the days!

I am so hungry now.... that looks amazingly yummy!
And those bird nests are PRECIOUS!!! mine would turn out looking like the nests hit the ground or something!
I applaud you! Whenever I get the urge to cook from scratch I lay back down until it passes.
Cook every night? Who are you, my Mom?
I'm happy when LG eats and PB and I get more than a bowl of cereal.
Yup. I'm still cookin' every night. But I love it, and I'm sure I'll miss all those interruptions one day! ---SM
I can do pretty well to cook dinners most nights, but now that baseball season is on, it's grab a hot dog or whatever, I don't care if it's cereal for most dinners. Your dinner sounds yummy. Sauce from scratch? I'm impressed!
Fresh spaghetti sauce is always the best! I have noticed that the older my son gets, the less I cook. It's hard to believe that I used to cook every other day!
I wonder what causes that occasional urge to cook-it happens to me too, though thankfully, not very often, heehee.
