A Perfect Saturday

I did not leave the house today.

Early this morning I reset the table so it’s already done for Thanksgiving. I did a few loads of laundry and fiddled with the blog post below. Sue, it was easy as you said in your comment, but it took a while to get Blogger to take it. I redid it about 4 times. I am going to delete it because I think it slows down the page way too much.

I had planned to get a lot more done, but it just didn’t happen. DH was flipping channels and came across a movie he remembered I liked. He was about to take an afternoon nap and asked me if I wanted him to leave it on that channel. He knows I rarely watch movies. He also knows I think Something’s Gotta Give with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton is one of the most romantic movies of all time. Since becoming middle aged I have taken to movies portraying romance in the later years.

So I spent two hours this afternoon re-watching this wonderful film while doing some hand quilting on the Starry Log. I loved the movie even more than I did the first time.

Toward the end of the movie, DH woke up. I poured a glass of my favorite Relax wine and we watched the end of the movie together.

I put some pork chops in an onion tomato sauce in the oven and let them cook for a few hours. When they were done I boiled some bow tie pasta and made a quick salad of romaine lettuce, red onion and Muenster cheese. Voila! Dinner was ready.

I just finished watching a pie contest on Food TV and went to their site and printed off 3 of the winning pies that interested me.

I am now watching another Food TV contest where they are preparing a 5-course Turkey day dinner in 5 hours. They are cooking a 12lb bird just like I am going to cook. Maybe I will get some tips for my little Thanksgiving meal.

Ah, it’s been a perfect Saturday.

I hope yours has been equally as wonderful.
