Now that we just finished (almost still some fining touches to be done) our kitchen. I though it would be a great idea to get get some girlfriends togther and cook our asses off all weekend. we made 3 meals and about a dozen deserts for each of us to throw in the freezer, so that on the days we don't feel like cooking we don't have to. we made spaghetti, chilli and curried beef. I had a ton of pumpkins from the garden so we used up most of them making pumpkin pie , pumpkin loaf pumpkin cookies and pumpkin bars. There's an apple orchid up the road so my girlfriends disappeared and came back with bags of apples, so again we starting baking... apple pie, apple crumble, apple loaf. I don't want to see another apple or pumpkin again.... for awhile! There was 6 kids all weekend and they were pretty excited to be the bowl, and spoon lickers and taste testers. Sunday morning my girls were so quiet, which is unusual they are usually harassing me to make breakfast... and at 10:30 when I started making waffles my youngest daughter informed me that she was full, her and her sisters had already eaten breakfast.... A whole pumpkin pie! i later called my sister to vent about the pumpkin pie for breakfast... which she reminded me.... we would have done the same, as a matter of fact i think we have. So all in all i had a great weekend in my new kitchen with good food and great friends.
