Warm summery days....

When we are busy working on one of our renovation projects...or I know I might play too long in the garden..or .. well, just about any reason at all... I like it when Luigi helps me get supper ready. Yes, you are right... I don't have an Italian husband, or a houseboy (darn it on the houseboy part! ...okay.. just kidding.... ) ... and the husband is definitely a keeper; I wouldn't trade him for anybody...










I named my crockpot Luigi. Because it is a Bravetti.... well, I thought it was kind of funny.










Anyway.... early in the day or even around noon... saute some veggies... add some tomatoes or tomato sauce... a few chunks of pork... or chicken... toss in some spices... let it simmer on low for hours...supper will be ready when you are. A chunk of some yummy bread, perhaps even home made... ( I must get my easy recipe on here ..and soon!) or some nice fresh buns... and you have a lovely and simple supper.




















For a quick light lunch .... enjoy a colourful fruit mix (pineapple, oranges, grapefruit and nectarine) to top some mixed greens.... red leaf lettuce and soft butter lettuce... then a drizzle of "honey-d" yogurt... and some fresh home made bread..toasted.......oh, yum.
Oh, and my little quarter glass of cold beer...yep..in a cute little plastic wine glass for patio drinks. It is my little nod to elegance in the midst of chaos....
