A Sunday Morning Snapshot

One of my favorite things to do on Sunday morning (and afternoon and evening) is to cook.  Sunday provides the best time to make Slow Food.  Things like soup, bread, stews, chili, etc.  I'm hungry just thinking about it and boy does my kitchen smell good!  Here's a snapshot of my kitchen at the moment:

Turkey stock coming to a boil:

We received part of a GIANT squash from the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) this week and with all of the other vegetables we got there is no way we'll manage to eat it.  The challenge of using all of the items we get in the CSA is one I accept readily!  The solution to this massive piece of squash was to roast, mash and freeze it to use in lieu of canned pumpkin or squash.  The best part is what it doesn't contain - BPA.  Pictured is the amount of squash we received which is about 1/8th of the entire thing.

Soaking beans for chili:

More cooking to come - the turkey soup will be finished, the chili will simmer away and cornbread and wheat rolls will be added to the mix.  All before our friends come over to watch the Eagles take on the Patriots.  There is nothing better on a Sunday than a house full of people, laughter and Slow Food.
