It’s a cold and rainy day today. Winter is approaching and quicker than I’d like. I’m a hot weather kind of girl. This cold gray yuck does nothing for my mood and really gets to me… not in a good way.
Today though I found a fix. My little guy and I braved the elements and went to the store for all the ingredients we needed to make vegetable beef stew. Homemade.
We came home and he pulled up a stool. We talked while I chopped and he ate fresh vegetables. We browned the meat and deglazed the pan. We added and poured, tasted and stirred and then we sat back and waited, simply enjoying the comforting aroma that began to sear pleasantly through our home.
The rainbow of vegetables simmering on the stove, a reminder of dinner waiting for us, of the promise of an evening where the four of us could reunite at our kitchen table to laugh and to talk about our days over this deliciousness- certainly proved to be a wonderful high point of an otherwise gray day.
