The weather in San Diego has been very hot and humid this summer.
I just thought I'd stay inside today and enjoy the air conditioner.
I love fresh flowers in the kitchen.
Stock is one of my favorite.
It smells so good.
We made some sweets for breakfast.
Carly made homemade coffeecake.
Chocolate croissants
and heart pancakes.
I wanted to make Red Wine-Braised Shortribs. I found a recipe in Bon Appetit 2011. I love using fresh herbs from the garden.
You can find the recipe on Epicurious.com.
The meat was so tender,
Stan loved it!
I also made
Good Eats Creamed Corn Cornbread
(Alton Brown's recipe)
Definitely Comfort Food.
The garden has lots of butternut squash this year.
I love the arranging little Fall vignettes from the things we grow.
The princess loves her Jack-Be-Little Pumpkins.
I wanted to share with you our beautiful water lilies.
The bees love them too!!
That's a fabulous comfort food meal! Lovely photos and thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI've found some great recipes this summer with butternut squash. Better yet, my daughter found them and she has shared, the receipes and yummies. It has been hot and humid in Nashville too and I'm so ready for Fall. Soon, very soon. I love the chalkboard and what you did to make it lovely.

ReplyDeleteBoy did I need to be here today! Pure comfort! I am just now beginning to unwind from the past three and one half months of pulling the reunion together and mom's fall. We LOVE short ribs in red wine in this house, however they can be a little spendy! Did you make the Pain au Chocolat? I am so jealous in a good way, of course! Autumn hugs from here!

ReplyDeleteHi Jody and Stan,
ReplyDeleteYou sure know how to make the best of a too hot to go outside day! It's bedtime here, in Toronto, but I'm craving breakfast now, so I'll have a little of everything, please! Love your fairy tale water lilies - they're perfect. Everything is simply beautiful.
Happy Thursday!
Poppy
