A Lazy Sunday Afternoon.

The sheer joy of not doing much of anything.

Is there anything nicer than to laze on the couch, watching a nice movie and drinking a hot cup of tea? The only stress being whether to perhaps finish reading a book or stitch together squares to make a new blanket. All relaxing and far from hectic. Sheer bliss in our family and even our cat has slotted into our routine with surprising ease. Doesn't take her long to find a place on my lap and snooze in tandem with either me or Bob. In fact, she gets rather cranky when we don't take it easy on a Sunday afternoon!

Sundays are also marvelous for creating new food sensations. Tonight has been designated as a Burger-Nite. Yes, I am as we speak planing a new creation of a vegan burger. Celery, sweet-potato and broccoli being the main ingredients. Ah, can't wait to taste it.

There is a comfort in cooking that is hard to describe. It must have something to do with being in one's own kitchen, actually using it apart from dishing up take-a-ways and finding out what tastes good and what doesn't. Being at home is special and I for one can't understand those that find ways of not being at home when they aren't at work.

In this upcoming lent it might be a good idea for folks to learn to stay in more. Learn to love their home, appreciate their families more and find that inner peace that is needed to navigate our modern world and stay happy and centered...
