Today was a lazy day for Miss Brown.
Not so much for me. I baked another apple pie, then decided to try a veggie shepherd’s pie (baked in a cast iron skillet!). The apple pie was even better than the first one I made, but I forgot to add potatoes to the shepherd’s pie, so it was not as tasty as it could have been. It as probably healthier potato-free, but the yum factor wasn’t as good as it could have been. (How the hell did I forget potatoes?!)
All that baking heated up the kitchen. At one point, it was 75F inside, so I opened the windows, which of course meant that it immediately started storming. Harriet slept through it. She is completely useless for moral support during storms. Luckily it didn’t last long.
Harriet is sleeping on her new super soft leopard print fakety-fake fur blanket. It was on clearance at Target for $6, so I couldn’t resist. It’s very warm, because it’s lined with fleece, and it’s big enough for both Harriet and I to sit under while watching TV.
