joy in the kitchen

I sat down to write about how thankful for I am for my four day weekend and how I have already had time (today) to make cinnamon rolls for tomorrow's breakfast--there will be no rushing off to work for me!--croutons for salad later in the week, and even some french bread just because I like the French. However, as I was going along with my typing, I realized that my kitchen has really become a place of adventure for me. "How very domestic of you," some may quip. But quip away; I have some of my best moments in the kitchen--although not always the tastiest! Here are just a few shots of some of the joy I've experienced in my kitchen:

Enjoying the stress reliever of being able to knead the bread dough by hand (the hook didn't work too well with the french bread recipe). *Our neighbor made the make-shift countertops for us*

Oh, yes, remember that Green Smoothie from the beginning of the summer? I found the pictures...yum!

I am thankful for having all of the great space, tools, and food for these adventures and hope that many more come! I thank God for his creativiy in giving me more adventures in my kitchen than Iwill ever be able to count (and for giving me the creativity to go through with these adventures)
