Peace

I had sat my camera on the kitchen counter. When I looked down at the camera this is the picture I saw. I think this is a peaceful picture of my kitchen.

What's for supper?

The last two nights supper has been fresh blackeyed peas, cornbread dressing, homemade bread, and cranberry sauce.
We have been cooking from what is in the pantry. This is a good way to save money and use up things left in the house.
