I'm sorry you're having so much rain Vicki, but take comfort in the fact that rainy old England is dry, for once.

The rain reached us this morning, so I...Oh, yum. The rain reached us this morning, so I'm going to make a new recipe in the crockpot -- a chicken with garlic inside and olives and lemons outside, over potatoes. I may do an apple pie as well. Last night at the church bean supper we had our first pumpkin pie of the season, which felt like a blessing. I chose the plain and Onkel Hankie Pants had a piece with pecan garnish, both excellent. Probably because they contained molasses.Auntie Knickershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854138665883068803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-41637557892401869792009-09-27T11:08:45.953-04:002009-09-27T11:08:45.953-04:00Haven't fixed fried chicken in decades.
