We arrived home from work a little while ago. House was dark and chilly (heat was turned back). I'm pretty sure the dogs were sleeping most of the day, since there is no evidence that they had any intruders to bite. Poor dogs were crossing their legs big time, since we were a bit later than usual. It was kind of bleak actually. Well, then the humans sweep in, turn on the lights, turn up the heat, and let the dogs out to frolic a bit and empty their bladders.
Before you know it, there are onions frying up with some pork in a skillet, filling the whole house with it's warm goodness, the heat is coming up from the radiators, and the cat is demanding to be fed.
Now a short time later, there is black eyed pea jambalaya simmering on the stove, Big Steve is singing and playing the crawdad song on his guitar, Tuffy is looking content and Elsa is throwing her toys around the house like it's her job.
Nope, ain't nothing like the preparation and prospect of a nice meal that turns a house into a home. Just my musings tonight.
You can find our black-eyed pea jambalaya here:
