Saturday nights at my house in the kitchen are when I feel most at home. We listen to A Prairie Home Companion on 91.7 WUOM, and I sit at the table while my mom cooks up the best meal of the week. She spends the most time on Saturday meals, and they're always homemade splendor. Garrison Keillor's nose-breathing soothes us, while Fred Newman's or Tom Keith's sound effects make us happy, and we always sing along to the Powder Milk Biscuits song. Especially in the winter, the radio show and dinner being cooked make the kitchen the warmest place to me.
Tonight is a cool night for August, and though we had quite a summery meal of gazpacho, peaches, and corn on the cob (the trinity of summer food, my mom said, of corn, peaches, and tomatoes), I still appreciated the way A Prairie Home Companion made me feel cozy and comfortable, and the Catchup Advisory Board reminded me that things are usually simpler than I am concerned they are.
Hope you all had a filling and comfy Saturday dinner.

Thanks for the biscuit music!! How about a post about rhubarb with a little Be-Bop-A- Rebop?
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea. I am hoping to make a pie later this week (is rhubarb still in season?), so I'll do a post then! That always was my favorite song!
