Like I said, its been fun. One day this week, we ate lunch of nothing but hushpuppies and grapes. One meal this week, I shelled our fresh-from-the-garden peas and tossed them in the skillet with some curry, garden chard, onions and ginger before wrapping them in phyllo and frying them in my new anniversary gift.
Also making a mess of the kitchen were the 63 vintage glass snack sets I couldn't resist while yardsale-ing last week. No, they are not all for my collection. Some are just passing through on their way to friends' houses, others are in search of a good home. I feel like an heirloom Robin Hood, taking from one generation and giving to another.
Lastly, I baked some bread using some cider that Julian didn't care for. It actually made very good bread, and we ate too much of it before giving it to our neighbors. It turns out that apple cider bread paired with apple butter spread is just heavenly!
We'll see how productive my next week is in the kitchen and perhaps I will share the story of how these crazy characters (above) came to be.

What's happening in your kitchen?
Have you been vintage shopping for the chickens or have they been collected over time? Those little pastry triangles look delicious. I hope you share the recipe soon.
