Plain and Simple

at the cottage....

sewing a delicious new blouse and headscarf to go with it. It was chilly when Ash took this but outside light is so much better.

Ice on the hood of my van taken last Thursday it was hanging from the roof of the chicken house, barn, and front porch.

 A yummy new muslin slip for me...the fabric is repurposed muslin from a curtain and the lace is left over from a skirt I made Ash for Christmas.

 Look at the wonderful find I found at the consignment shop Friday! I just love this pitcher and it is perfect for my herbal drinks. Would anyone by chance know the history behind this kind of pitcher? The lady at the consignment shop said it was an oldie.

 My wonderful men putting together a shelving unit for our food storage and other items. It is set up in the kitchen I just love, and will post pictures on next week's plain and simple.

 Hubby in his office at church yesterday we were folding the programs and visiting before others got there for early morning meetings. I wanted a picture of him behind his desk.

 The kitten, Pippin, scouting out the bird feeders last week.

 Another blouse I whipped together Friday night. I made this one out of bandanas, 6 of them. I just love it. It is so fun to wear. I was being chewed on in this photo.

 The yummy Brocolli Chicken cassarole I told you about.

I didn't measure anything so I will just post what I put in it.

Frozen Broculli thawed and cut up

2 cans of chicken (no, I don't buy this it)

1/4 of an onion chopped

cheese

I mixed all this up in a large bowl and then in a saucepan I made the white sauce.

Half a stick of butter melted

flour

salt, salt, pepper, cumin, cayenne pepper all to taste.

and buttermilk.

After the sauce was ready I poured it over the ingredients in the bowl and mixed. I then poured it into a cassarole dish topped with more cheese and baked till bubbly. It was nice and tangy with the buttermilk and really good.

 Till next time....Have a simple blessed day
