Hello Fall, Family Dinner and Some Fun Questions

 

Well, we've had a few cool days and now it's back to the 80's and humid,

but I put out my Fall decor anyway.

I mean, at some point it has to get cooler, right?

Yesterday was Family Dinner day,

which meant I started cooking before David even left for work.

I was browning sausage for a soup I was making,

plus I baked some cookies for dessert.

Better to do the baking early in the morning,

to keep the kitchen cool later on.

I like to spread out my work,

combined with breaks, lunch, maybe a Youtube video

or two and then back to work.

I work better in small chunks of time,

rather than fast and furious.

So somewhere between cooking and getting the table ready,

I pulled out the Fall decor and very simply

added some things to the table

and a few other areas close by.

We've all agreed that paper products on family night

are the dish of choice.

That way none of us are standing in the kitchen,

loading the dishwasher and missing all the fun.

I've learned that even a table set with paper,

can be festive and fun.

In my last post I mentioned that I would try to find 

some cheap mums at the grocery store on Monday.

Well, I did!

These mums were just $3.50 each

(and for good reason).

They looked like they were on their last leg,

but once I got them home,

put them in some pretty containers,

they didn't look so bad.

Family dinner consisted of a yummy soup

called Creamy Sausage Tortellini soup,

which I failed to get a picture of,

but you can see the recipe

HERE.

It was so good!

We had a salad,

garlic bread,

and these yummy cookies.

After dinner,

some of us sat around the table and

I asked a few fun questions I came up with

earlier in the day.

I thought I'd share some here for fun:

*Which cartoon character would you most like to meet?

*If you were in the olympics, which sport would you participate in?

*Which game show would you be good at?

*If you had to choose, which would you do,

American Idol or Dancing with the Stars?

*If you had a podcast, what would you call it?

I love to get the conversations going with questions!

It always leads to other topics and lots of laughter. 

Well, another family dinner here and gone.

Today I am visiting with a friend

and then curling up in my chair and taking a break.

I hope your Wednesday is blessed

and restful 😊

Until Next Time...

Blessings!
