Today as we gather around a table heaped with good food, we
are reaping the benefits of the long hours and expense toiled by the 2% of
those whose job is to feed you, me and the other 319 million people in the
USA. There is a prayer excerpted from
the book Bless this Food: Ancient &Contemporary Graces from Around the World © 2013 Adrian Butash and
in it my favorite prayer (#90) talks about this very fact. Unfortunately I don’t have the authorization to
publish that prayer, but I did provide a link for the book as it is an
interesting read that will fill you with true gratefulness as we celebrate
Thanksgiving and the blessings bestowed upon us, not only for tomorrow, but in
our daily life. I will however be able
to post another prayer from this comforting book in the event you need one for
your dinner today. So read on…. =)

Early Frosty Morning Walk
Early frosty mornings have a beauty all to themselves. And while the nut behind the camera would not have won any “best dressed outdoor wear” awards, rather I most likely would have ended up on a “what not to wear” list with my own stamp of grungy rural look…..

Inspired Farm-chick Living
Fall +Pumpkins = Fabulous My front porch display at my farmhouse |
Now that Fall weather has arrived …. So has my inspiration for
cooking and creating. As I write this the smell of pumpkin brownies
makes me want to rethink eating something healthy for breakfast and just go
straight for one of my favorite flavor combinations, pumpkin and
chocolate. Two flavors that I never
would have put together had it not been for this cake….
