Here is that kitchen window sill again! It is dreary outside on this Palm Sunday afternoon in ENC, but it is bright and sunny in my kitchen. I am armed with ample goods from a Sam’s Club stop after church this morning. So, champagne in hand I am cooking for my nephew who is in MBA school in Georgia. I will be seeing him next weekend, so I decided to make a couple of things for his freezer. He is certainly not anticipating that I will arrive with a stocked cooler, so I can’t wait to witness that huge grin of his! I’ll try to capture it and add it to this post after next weekend!! To energize myself for the marathon cooking afternoon I first made myself one of my fav sandwiches…the Bleu Cheese Veggie.

Kitchen Window Sill Flowers
I live in a house that was built in 1952. Alas, last spring we replaced all of the inefficient windows that leaked the cooled and heated air from the inside to the outside…and allowed in the cool and hot air from the outside. So in the kitchen I had installed a 6 inch window sill above the sink rather that the standard 2 1/2 inch sill. This allows space for flowers, knick knacks, coffee mugs, and perhaps most importantly a champagne glass while cooking! I spend a LOT of time in my kitchen and want it to be a happy place with fresh flowers and a sunny outlook. Here is a simple example of a window sill “still life” in my kitchen home.
Appetizers as Dinner
Serving several appetizers, enough to qualify as dinner, is one of my favorite manners of entertaining. And I enjoy it even more when no plate is necessary. That way you can hold your drink, hold a conversation, and nibble throughout the evening. So, as you venture through the blog, you are likely to see a plethora of appetizers, and small dribbles of entrees etc. Also, I always keep a tray with something wonderful in the kitchen as there is always a crowd gathered there!
Ahhh…the weekend is here!
I’m relieved that it is finally Friday, and I can comfortably spend some quality time in my kitchen with these two furry friends! The black and white one is Naomi, and oddly enough she loves everything that accidentally flies off the chopping board, including onions! She never leaves my feet when I am in the kitchen. The one on the left is Eva…she isn’t quite as interested.
Pictured below is Buckley Louise…she lives in DC; but when she visits, she hangs right with me in the kitchen!!
