ahh.....the cold that I beat last week has returned with a new ally, The Horribly Sore Throat.

Saturday was spend getting pampered with massage and haircut and a bit of shopping (big score of the day: Ann Taylor suede skirt that was Made For Me for $69, original price: $240) Went to the big fall festival with Steve & Dixie to load up on pumpkins, cider, and caramel popcorn

Sunday was a lot of lounging on the couch, watching football, and, in the afternoon, rallying to explore the new target that opened near us.

I have a dentist appt mid-day today, so will head home afterwards and quench my desire for a big bowl of Boeuf Bourguignon (with lots of mushrooms and pearl onions) by digging up Mrs. Childs' old recipe and puttering away in the kitchen this afternoon.

Yummy...





(Google images is fun. I found LOTS of images of how this dish should NOT look.... no liquid, whole fresh mushrooms....yucky!)

I'm at the midway point in the soup.....oho the whole house is filled with the smell of meat simmering in burgandy. I don't know if I can wait until 7 tonight!
