Simple Winter Plans


My winter plans are quite simple.  Although it sounds like fun, I will not be traveling south for some sun and warmth.  No, my winter plans are simply to stay home and that is fine with me.  I look forward to spending some time reading and trying out some new recipes.  Time always passes quickly and this winter will be no different as I continue to learn my new job as general manager of our health food store.  Lately I have not had as much time as I would like to cook and read.  Autumn is always a very busy time putting up food for the winter and working in the garden.  I am now done with the year's canning and the garden is ready for the winter so I am beginning to catch up on the housework.  As I dusted these shelves (there is a lot of dust left behind from putting drain tile in the basement) this evening I began to actually look forward to those cold winter evenings, wrapped in an afghan, reading to my heart's content.


I have neglected my collection of cookbooks and cooking magazines this summer/autumn (not to mention this website).  I do hope to get back to testing new recipes and creating a few to share, but I have a very busy schedule for the next month so I am trying to be patient and remember there will be time...soon.
