Welcome to my world!


This is my initial blog post....I'm sure so many people start their first blog post this way. Loving life, loving to write and having so many things stuck up in my brain waiting to get out..it's such an 'original' way to begin my blogging life.
I suppose the purpose of my blog will be what blogs were originally intended to be...an online diary of my life....mainly cooking and my 'minor' food obsession...but also to share my love of the outdoors, holidays, family, friends and everything else life has to offer! I'd like to share what I'm cooking, what I'm doing, and I'm hoping that my writing will develop with it each day or week or whenever the muse strikes.
I'll begin with a seasonally appropriate pic from our pumpkin carving gathering last weekend. The hubby loves to carve pumpkins, and everyone is catching on to that. My sister & her DH, along with a couple friends brought their pumpkins over last week for his assistance. Nothing fancy here folks...we use the carving kits & templates you can get at Walmart...although I did find a ton of templates online and printed those too...we're building our collection quite nicely.

Today I'm roasting massive amounts of pumpkins...ok....10...but it seems massive to me! Right now they're in the cooling stage...soon they'll be tucked away in the freezer, becoming bread and soup and dessert over the cold winter months ahead. Stay tuned for lots of yummy recipes!
I'm watching PBS...Mark Bittman just finished....it's my favorite Saturday indulgence...watching cooking shows on PBS.
Enjoy your day!
