The gumbo is for tomorrow. Today we’re having beans, sausage and rice, cornbread and coleslaw. Last night I soaked the beans so they’re cooking in the pressure cooker.

I thought I was going to have time to get everything done and leave it all cooking while I went to knitting. Vince is home to keep an eye on it but .. everything takes longer than I planned so I missed knitting today but . . this kitchen surely does smell wonderful!
Laura Haywood says
It all looks delicious.

I’m glad you got everything done. Only Pilar and I showed up. Good think I went and got her, she was having a bad morning! We had fun. It was only the two of us and we sat at the little table next to the wall where we usually sit. Then I went to Tractor Supply to get dog food and saw Benedicta and her two pups! She said she is going to try to come next week.
