To distract myself from my powerbook’s journey, and since our kitchen drain is now un-frozen (thanks Ron!) I’m cooking. Pea soup in one pot. Spaghetti sauce in another. Meatballs ready and able to swim in sauce. I’m about to make Puttanesca sauce which is red sauce with olives and capers. Looks pretty easy and will be a nice change from regular red sauce.

The weather has eased a bit bt the skies are dark and grey. There’s a stiff breeze. The smell of the sauce is filling the house with hope for a warm easy dinner. Perhaps a cup of coffee is called for at this point. Simple pleasures for a Sunday afternoon. The joys of big cooking pots.
