Enjoy Life - It's Delicious

Today was kitchen clean up day - such a good feeling to have everything bright and shiny - until the next greasy, splattering pots boil over!! The 'frig looks great too now that all those leftover veggies have gone to the compost bin.

Even kitchen walls can display the written word - my love of lettering is omnipresent in my home.

I love Emma Bridgewater's "Nursery Ware" crockery. The words remind me of my childhood in an English kitchen.................and TOAST & MARMALADE still is, and always will be my most favorite breakfast!!
Umm....................can you smell the most delicious Italian risotto cooking on the stove? Best ever was in the little cellar restaurant under my hotel in Cortona, Italy - so loaded with black truffles and Parmigiano Reggiano I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! Cortona, home of Frances Mayes of "Under the Tuscan Sun" fame, is a beautiful hill town - well worth a stop on the way from Rome to Florence.

I recently made this container for my arborio rice - was really pleased with the result.

Kitchen is closed................back in the morning, perhaps for porridge with brown sugar and cream, next best thing to the toast & marmalade!!!
