Yummy

October 13, 2008 By Carole

It’s day 3 of a 3 day weekend here at Carole Knits.  Something about Columbus Day ignites my nesting instinct and I want to decorate the house for fall and roast things in the oven and light candles.  And drink red wine.  Ahem.

Dale has been working a lot with the band (4 jobs in 3 days!) but we did manage to have a nice dinner at home Saturday night.

The table looked pretty like this but it looked even better when I served up the cornish game hens, wild rice stuffing and asparagus.  Mmm.

Hope you had some special time with your family this weekend, too.

    Cornish game hen makes for such a special meal and does evoke thoughts of making things warm and cozy and the photo is lovely.

    You know how to put on a spread! I only work the next two days so I can’t be too envious that you have the day off. 😉

    Great picture, one that evokes everything I love about this time of year. It’s a bit warmer than normal, though, so I’m not quite feeling the “retreat-into-the-dark-cozy-house-nesting” thing. Soon enough…

    LOVE the fabric pumpkin. Did you make it? Can you point me to a pattern? (If not, I’ll google, but if you have the info handy…)

    Is that really a quilted pumpkin?

    I am still waiting for fall temperatures, but I sure am enjoying myself through everyone else’s autumn experiences. That dinner sounds wonderful.

    your table looks so beautiful – and the dinner sounds like it was yumm.
    I used to love decorating the table like that – but I don’t do it often nowadays.

    Just lovely.

    When can I come over for dinner? ;^)

    What a beautiful table. The light is so soft and pretty. And a day off–good for you!

    So peaceful and cozy! We don’t “do” Columbus day here in Wisconsin, but I always feel very nesty this time of year, too. Love it!

  16. Sara says

    October 13, 2008 at 5:27 pm

    Sounds like a great dinner. Actually, I am thinking of making one of those for Thanksgiving Day…since I’ll be by myself…or maybe I’ll go down to one of the churches and help them that day…if any of them are doing a dinner…

    Hmmmmm – it smells so good! We had a great time this weekend! Worked our butts of at the Festival – but it was worth it!

    No need to “ahem” after “drink red wine.” Hic.

    Very pretty. Did you make the center pumpkin? I love it!

    Red wine is a good thing…just sayin’ 🙂

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
