Today's Joyous Things

I have no idea who this rather clever lady is, but I salute her. She creates perfect Winter companions. A snuggle with a giant cat and a good book. Bliss.
Talking of books, I have been to the library this morning to collect three books that I have requested. I have been waiting some time for two of them and suddenly I now have a pile which I think I must read quick sticks as there will be folk awaiting on them. The only books I buy nowadays are keepers, you know , ones I will reread. I like to use the local libraries and the small amount I usually pay to order them in, is funding of a sorts. Plus we have to use things or lose them I'm afraid. I'm dipping into my own thrifty recipes tonight to make a vegetable crustless quiche. It will be served with some luscious looking (reduced in price) asparagus, followed by an equally mouth watering Bonne Mamann, blackberry mousse, (also reduced in price). It's been a very good thrifty day and I'm pleased with myself.

    Awww....I want one of those giant cats!!! It would be perfect for the long, cold, winter nights in Nod. (Even though I have two real bones and fur ones.) I wish our local library were closer as I am going books much too quickly. I justify buying them because, most often, my hooking friend down the road will read t hem too. But the stacks are growing. And...speaking of books and bad habits, I'm going to check out some of your titles! ~Robin~

      It turned out very well. Tasty and very fresh, as we used some of our home grown veg too.

    They look extraordinary don't they? It is a lot of work and skill to get them looking so good.

    How fabulous are those giant cats! I think I'd like one, but I'm not sure what Bess would think ...
    I haven't been to the library in ages. Decades to be exactly. The vast majority of my books are bought second hand, and I'm sharing them with friends or redonate them after I've read them. xxx
