First Hour

This Saturday morning is special. ..
My 10 month old daughter finally slept through the night, which means, for the first time in well over a year I slept well.  So today, I woke with gusto! ....and dog pee in the hallway.  (They got let outside a little late because I slept in till 7!)

I cleaned up the kitchen from last night's "it's not delivery, it's. .." that kind of Friday night.
Put the water on to boil and chopped up a local apple and pear, to simmer in water, and then puree for baby.  
Put my new book on the table to read. ..
My husband is encouraging me to follow this passion to cook and learn the fundamentals.  I can't go take classes for monetary and situational reasons but I think I can get around it.  So he had been surprising me, books have been getting delivered. .the latest and best one, my new bible. ..Le Cordon Bleu Complete Cooking Techniques !!!
Sat down with my coffee, plate of cheese (Doux  De Montagne) and bread... baby and hubbub come down the stairs and we all sit down with our respective items. .
Mug of oj... jar of puree. .and me & mine.

So lovely. ..
Enjoy your weekend and every moment.
