Each day I find myself snapping a picture or two in the kitchen - a pile of ingredients, a table waiting for us to gather around, a sink full of soapy dishes, a cup of tea, dinner as it comes out of the oven - simple, everyday moments in the kitchen. These photos serve as a reminder of days gone by and as encouragement to carry on in this busy kitchen of ours when inspiration is lacking.

Thanks for visiting everyone.. 
Looking forward to your comments and I will try to answer your questions there.. 

God bless ...

    Good evening, dear Faye...my, you've been a busy girl! I just love the idea of the chive vinegar...do you just use the blossoms? I'll definitely have to try this! My chives haven't blossomed yet here in Maine...but it won't be long!
    Sweet blessings,
    Laura

    The Geranium in the top picture is so pretty, Faye. I always look forward to your kitchen pictures! You make such yummy looking foods. We have some chives...think I am going to give your idea for chives vinegar a try. :)

    You've been on my mind and heart and in my prayers a LOT today since hearing the news this morning. xo Dianna

    You know how I have always admired the fact that you make the violet salve and the lotion! (Remember I love violets because my Grandma's name was Violet.) But wish I could buy some from you. I love your kitchen pictures. Your are a Cook!...a real COOK! Everything looks so delicious. I love the brass teakettle on the kitchen table with the geranium....so pretty. Love reading your posts, as you know.

    Say hi to hubby.....
    Love,
    S.

    I love it over here and poll through the photos slowly to absorb all the goodness. I too have thinking of your part of the world when I heard the awful news. Wondering how close you are to the shootings and if you have to stay inside. I've just noticed the comments about your mother and hope she stays safe and sound.
    Have a happy weekend,
    Take care,
    debx
    I love the idea of the flavoured vinegars and will try that some time.

      Hi Mary.. You just put washed chive blossoms into a bottle and cover with a white vinegar and let it sit for a couple of weeks .. Strain it through some cheesecloth and there you have it. A beautiful pink tasty vinegar.. xo

    I love the first photo. I'm so thankful, as you must be, that the shooter has been captured. What a relief for so many. What a horrific 2 days for the people of Moncton. Blessings. Pam

    That cottage kitchen just calls out to my soul every time you photograph it! And I love your picture of the egg--so *beautiful*. You have a good eye for that!

      Okay, I am so excited you posted the vinegar! I went out in my garden (we just moved in December so I'm finding all sorts of hidden treasures). The previous pastor wife had chives out there and they had the blossoms on the top! So my blossoms are now sitting in vinegar. I would have had no idea what they were if you hadn't posted this. Yay!!!!

    Hi Faye...loved your posting as always. The food always looks so tasty:) Perhaps one day when you have time you could publish the recipe for the salmon casserole...pretty please :)

    Soon you'll be heading to the Bay for the summer, and I will look forward to visiting you at your shop.

    Hope you have a blessed service tomorrow.

    Take care,
