This Week in my Kitchen...

Welcome to another Week in my Kitchen BLOGHOP..

where we have a fun chance to peek into other kitchens and glean inspiration... 

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.

Joining HEATHER at Beauty that Moves again this week for her weekly bloghop.. 
If you have any questions please leave them in the comment section and I will get back to you..

Take care, dear hearts...

Spring Days on the Old Farm...

Good Evening everyone.. 

Hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day.. 

I was blessed to attend a Mother Daughter Breakfast with my Mom on the weekend and to see my children yesterday and today.. 

So thankful for my Mom and for my sweet kids.. Love them all so much.. 

We have started visiting our old farm once again.. 

Last week we went up for 3 days and had a great time.. 

Just sharing some pics of the old place.. 

We are still working on the porch room .... 

We are so slow... 

All in good time, I guess.. 

Made some batter breads while we were there and some farm meals.. 

Spent some time on the back stoop enjoying the sun and reading a few books.. smile.. 

This was the view one day.. 

A bit of rain moving in and a nice wind.. 

But it is always good to get back home, too.. 

We have to get home in time for hubby to watch hockey.. 

There he is.. 

Our fave player who is my cousin... 

Brad Marchand... 

It is a bit much for me.. 

I would rather read a good book.. 

Don't tell my cousins... grin.. 

How are you all doing anyway? 

I find the days are slipping by so fast and I am not being a very good blogger.. 

Please forgive me and I will try to do better.. 

Spring is slowly creeping in here but it is cold tonight.. 

Take care, dear hearts and may God bless and keep you.. 

This week in my kitchen...

Hello everyone.. 

Welcome to this week in my kitchen BLOG HOP...

It is a little different here this week as I am sharing two kitchens.. 

We have an old farm that we love and visit as often as we can which is a thirty minutes drive from our home..

We go there to relax and enjoy wonderful peace and quiet.. 

It is just an old farm kitchen that my dear aunt used to bake and cook her family meals in many years ago.. 

The first few pictures were taken here at home and the rest at the farm.. 

We are having a very late Spring here in Eastern Canada.. smile..

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.

The first few pics are of a wonderful Asian soup that I found here..

The last day we were at the farm we forgot our food basket at home so I had to make do with what was in the pantry there.. 

Thank heavens for old fashioned potatoes and beans, eh? 

A real Canadian dinner or so my husband told me.. 

Thanks so much for dropping by and if you have any questions please put them in the comments and I will try to give you the answers... 

God bless.. 

A Winner and a Night Out in the Country... German style.. ...

Hello everyone.. 

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.. 

I wanted to apologize for being late as to posting who the winner of the little quiz was.. 

We went out last night and I did not get to it.. 

The prize is just a thought or thank you for following the blog.. 

A country style pillow cover and mat.. 

I didn't know where it would have to go so I picked something that could be folded up and placed in an envelope and sent.. 

Our Canadian postage is scandalous these days.. smile.. 

I hope she likes it..

Terry picked Mary Stiles so Mary if you could email me your address I will put it in the mail for you.. 

Last evening we were invited out to supper with some old friends of ours to a local restaurant just many miles from us.. 

Gasthof Old Bavarian in Knightville.. 

You can read about it HERE

We were early so while we waited I enjoyed a lovely cuppa.. 

I even like their dishes.. smile.. 

Then there were baskets of homemade German breads.. 

Served with a sweet mustard.. 

Terry loves mustard and he enjoyed it very much.. 

It was not really my cup of tea but the bread was delicious.. 

I only had one piece as I wanted to enjoy my meal.. 

This restaurant was featured lately on You Gotta Eat Here so I knew the plates were huge.. 

This was an appetizer which we shared.. 

A cabbage roll and Spatzle with a sauce that was out of this world.. 

Then this Cream of Sweet Potato Soup was free with the meal and it was soooo good.. 

The soup junkie that I am only really needed that.. smile.. 

Here are some of the plates that we were served.. 

The men ordered the Oktoberfest Platter.. 

Lots of German meats.. 

Then this is a pork hocks platter.. 

Amazing, eh? 

And this was mine.. 

The Vegetarian Platter.. smile.. 

I just am not a meat eater and love salads so this was just right for me although I could not finish it at all.. 

It was so much fun and we had a great time except for me trying to get Terry to stay out of the bread basket.. grin.. 

Thanks dear friends for inviting us... 

On the way home I took these pics.. 

It was such a beautiful evening.. 

Thank you, Lord for all of your blessings...

This farm used to be our Brother-in-Law's old homestead.. 

So beautiful... 

Well, God bless you sweet friends.. 

Enjoy your Lord's Day and try to make time for Him... 

Hugs...
