It starts so innocently......and then....

usually about 4 pm I start to think....
no, that's not exactly right...
my stomach starts to growl.
So, I ignore it until the pain and/or rumbling
starts to interfere with the task at hand.
Then....
I go start a pot of coffee.
Those of you over 50 understand this...
as it is only coffee that allows me to remain awake through
dinnertime and into the evening.
After my first cup o' joe,
I think to myself....
Hmmmm
what's for dinner?
So I set the table,
salt....pepper....lemons.....
iced tea....(yes, even in the late fall)
and then I turn to the ice chest...
and scrounge for the main event.
tonight....
roast chicken,
Hmmmmm
and
rice simmered in homemade chicken stock....
and
Italian pole beans, with just a touch of seasoning.....
Now it is time for another cup o' joe....
and
Hmmmm the rosemary, balsamic vinegar,
garlic, onion, and lemon zest are starting to
make the whole house smell
well,
homey....
Yummmmmm
smiles.

  1. Your food looks yummy.

    I've been getting really tired in the later afternoon, but since I'm trying to cut down on caffeine, a cup of coffee isn't an option.

    I find that if I just keep going, about a half-hour later the tiredness leaves...until about 9:00 at night!
