MAKING THE BEST OF A RAINY DAY

Sometimes rain can be a good thing. Needing a break from yard work, I welcomed the rain we've had for the past few days. It was slow and steady yesterday and drizzling off and on most of today. It gave me a chance to catch up on some household chores and time in the kitchen. It's like my second favorite place to be. Outside, kitchen, craftroom, office, family-room, bedroom ... the order changes on a daily basis.

YUMMY, Nothing better than a good home-made chicken soup to take the chill off a damp day.


Can't you just smell that soup? And being that the rhubarb was just about crawling into the house on its own, I baked a strawberry rhubarb custard pie with struesel topping, and a pan of rhubarb cobbler. More YUMMIES!

Your rainy day post is much better than mine was. lol Thanks for your thoughts on it. I think you're probably right about what to do! ;) I hope I never have to find out. ~scary~

Your soup looks delicious and that pie wow, it sounds absolutely scrumptious! I haven't had a rhubarb pie since I was a child. And your adding strawberries to the zestful flavor would make it a buffet for the tastebuds. yummy!

Wishing you wonderful rest of the week!
