Sunday Dinner

I love Barefoot Contessa! She has such a wonderful show on Food network. I usually try to tape all of the episodes and watch them on my day off. It always puts me in the mood to cook something wonderful. I was inspired this morning to jump out of bed and get started baking bread and frying chicken. We will have a good ole southern Sunday dinner today. Fried Chicken, whipped potatoes, homemade rolls, salad and italian green beans. YUM! Oh and I cant forget the gravy. Gotta have gravy too.

Look at this yummy chocolate cake! I made a chocolate pie this morning for our lunch, but this cake looks delish!

I really, really, really want this cookbook. It was on my Christmas wish list, but somehow it must have been overlooked. Well, it goes back on the list for next year, or maybe Mother's Day!

Isn't this just lovely. Ina is always having alfresco affairs on her show. Something I cannot do here very often. If it is the least bit warm outside the mosquitoes come out in droves . I love the idea of having a luncheon outside with guest wandering around looking at my magnificent water gardens and blooming flowers in a well cultivated bed. This is just a fantasy of course, my guest would probably trip over a sweet gum ball that is covering my yard right now. And the flower bed is a quagmire of weeds and tree roots that must be removed before I can plant this spring.

Oh, and I forgot to mention I really, really, really want this cookbook also! It too, was missed on my list this year. HMMM....I guess my family thinks I can do without new cookbooks. Maybe it's because I already have so many?????? But, I could make some new spectacular treats for them with just a little bit of inspiration! I know I could!

I also wish I had an outdoor kitchen area to grill and cook in. Maybe with a fireplace for my guest to sit by and enjoy a nice glass of wine, while I am slaving over the grill, working my magic. Twinkle lights casting a soft glow and nice candles flickering in the moonlight.

Well, I can wish and dream. Right now I have to get back to cooking Sunday dinner!

A great big thank you to everyone who visited me on Pink Saturday! I will be participating again next week. Wish there was a day devoted red. I could really get into that! Loved all of the comments and so happy that you took the time to leave one. Don't forget that this Friday I will be posting my very first giveaway! I have been searching for some cute things to send to you!

Have a happy day. Remember this is the day the Lord has made. Rejoice! And be happy!

xxoo,
