My kitchen is a MESS! The pot I fixed the chili in is still sitting on the stove … my immersion blender is standing up in a bean can … my crockpot is on the island … my food chopper is in a dirty bowl. (I thought about posting a picture of the mess, but I’m just too embarrassed to share that … but evidently I’m not too embarrassed to describe how messy it is – ha!) I made white chili for the fundraiser last night … my recipe doesn’t even take an hour to prepare, so I wanted to wait until later in the afternoon before I began it. I was sure that I had allowed plenty of time … yet I was scrambling to get the pot of chili into the crockpot to get there in time. 
We have snow in our forecast for tomorrow (after a record high of 81 yesterday no less)!! Woo hoo! 
Today I’m thankful for:
- Snow in the forecast
- A good time at the fundraiser - the highlight was when DSIL arrived with the 2 littlest Ts and T#4 ran to give me a hug
- Pumpkin pie bagel for breakfast this morning
- Good neighbors … I needed 2 tsp of cumin for my chili … and had only 1 tsp … sent DH next door to borrow a tsp of cumin
pumpkin pie bagel? hmmm....interesting. How was it?
ReplyDeleteOh, a pumpkin bagel, never heard of such but sure sounds yummy.
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen was a total disaster yesterday too but since I had no where to be, I was able to get it spin and span after making the dressing.
Wishing you a beautiful Lord's Day!
That's pretty chilly. I think it might be a very cold Winter. Sometimes the dishes have to wait, it's okay. Your bagel sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteWe have the same forecast for tonight. I hate ice and snow. I hope it is only flurries.
ReplyDeleteWe had chili today too! And I am keeping my fingers crossed for a dusting of snow - so exciting :)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely gadget did you find at the Pampered Chef party? I haven't been to one in AGES.
ReplyDeleteFunny story: When Hubby and I were on our trip last month, we stopped for an afternoon snack of bagels. I got a Pumpkin Pie bagel, Hubby got a Cinnamon Crunch bagel. We settled at a table and opened our books. When we were about 3/4 of the way through our bagels I realized we were eating the wrong ones! Hubby had my pumpkin one and I had his cinnamon one. How I didn't realize that at the first bite, I'll never know. Yes, we switched bagels at that point. :)
Brrrrrrrrrrrr! I bet your chili was good and hope you got things cleaned before your party - you are a busy gal! sandie
ReplyDeleteI read your post, and guess what I am making for dinner?? Yep! Chili. You made me hungry for it. ;-)
