The joy of working at home means when I want to take the day off I can. We have friends coming over for dinner tonight and “pick meee” I am cooking. I am kitchen wench today.
I love to cook. I love to try new foods and experiment in the kitchen. Fresh herbs, the aromas of cooking always give me that “homely” feeling. Family all eating around the table, good food, wine and laughter and warmth. Essential ingredients in my life. Nom nom. I spent this morning cooking the first part of tonight’s feast.
Beef, bacon, lashings of garlic, onion, fresh herbs make the first part …
all sauted and cooked in it’s aromatic juices.
Lashings of red wine … merlot … nom!
Beef stock, mushrooms, more fresh herbs, grated zucchini, a little bit more wine and the meat mixture added in
… six hours later …
accompanied by fresh sourdough bread with lashings of butter,
roast potato, kumara, carrots, zucchini, garlic cloves, onion
…we feast.
Wanna come for dinner?
Meanwhile I’m off to do some housework.
A wench’s work iz nevah done.

Sounds very tasty.
And a woman’s work is never done. Must be doubly so for a kitchen wench.
