Without knowing this, some years ago I made my own kitchen table in oak. Kitchen furniture is always satisfying if you give it thought and love.

Anyway, the food looks really tasty. The thing I like most with sausages is that they go well with almost every dish, and they're easy to prepare too. Thank you for sharing this. I will try this next. <br /><a href="http://www.bouldersausage.com/index.php?page=recipes" rel="nofollow">Dione Nye </a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09259061324052665207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-37612864846523337782013-04-18T06:40:14.169-07:002013-04-18T06:40:14.169-07:00Reminded me of Glastonbury immediately too.

Lovely. I am not a sausage lover but the cheese would be amazing. Beautiful pictures, as always. That kitchen reminds me of the basement kitchen in the old church I used to attend.

Why someone with your intelligence and taste would come to see me is really beyond my understanding, but I thank you. I promise not to push my immature poetry in my readers' faces too much! But this recent post is actually an assignment I gave my fourth graders last year and actually tried it myself for the first time. I am registered to take a poetry class this summer, and look forward to going DEEP. I think I can do it, but what is more important, is that I grow. You obviously have had a rich education and I can see it in your word choices and style. <br /><br />NOW FOR THIS POST!<br /><br />I could function in such a kitchen, NO PROBLEM. In fact, my favorite types of kitchens are castle kitchens for they are FUNCTIONAL, no cheap bells or whistles, just get-to-the-point tools and spaces. But what is stunning is the rich woods and timeless stone that is used in these utilitarian spaces and this one is of premium allure. When I was at Chenonceau, I fell in love with the kitchen. Forget the rest of the château!<br /><br />FRIED CHEESE? And here I thought it was a Minnesota thing at the state fair! Lovely post AND a confession of your passion for the textures and tastes of history.

My SIL had an enormous round antique pine lazy susan table. It was exquisite. I wanted one so badly when my family was younger. I searched and searched and never found the perfect one. So we all have dream tables, Deana. But circumstances change and we either can't fit our table loves OR can't afford them!<br />I'd love to make the gooseberry elderflower jam. Not a fan of Delia's, but the British have such a store of elderflower recipes and I make them as often as possible.<br />Wonderful post!Barbarahttp://www.moveablefeastscookbook.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-10105248440658801282013-04-12T11:12:23.418-07:002013-04-12T11:12:23.418-07:00I so enjoy your blog...I learn something with ever...I so enjoy your blog...I learn something with every post!
