It's Sunday, and we still have a cold rain coming down outside.  I've been using the time to clean out a kitchen drawer full of rubber bands, garbage bag ties, birthday candles, kitchen magnets, recylcled paper for grocery lists, and keys to forgotten locks.

I'm also printing recipes off the food network channel and putting holes in to file in my red kitchen binder.  I made some extra copies for Gunther and Eliza of turkety-chili, oven-roasted halibut, flounder with red pepper cream and asparagus, and steamed pork wonton dumplings.  I invited them all over for dinner tonight because Eliza's mom, Carmen, is up here from San Diego.

Robert and I made the best dinner last night:  grilled butterflied leg of lamb, small steamed artichokes, eggplan sauteed with a Chinese garlic sauce, and rice with lemon and dill (Rainey gave me that recipe last week after our walk.)

 I guess this is my food blog today!  Maintaining my recipes, watching the food network, and trying out recipes, and having people over to eat them, makes me realize that if I were asked what my hobbies are, I guess I'd have to say cooking!

This is a much happier weekend than last when I drove myself crazy being miserable--focusing on an old story.  After two days, I vividly saw how I can turn a switch in my head and make myself miserable, and then just as easily, get off it by not dwelling on the negative.  Hmmm.
