Here in the subtropics the winter difference is not as marked as further south, but I long for a log fire and toast before it. Where we lived in Sydney, we had a big recessed fireplace and Dad would add a bbq plate to a little shelf above the coals and cook steaks! <br /><br />What I love about winter here is being able to walk on the beach without heat exhaustion, snuggling under rugs to read or watch a movie, and soup.BookChookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230711251425187241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-73421544418061968592010-06-09T08:48:24.785+10:002010-06-09T08:48:24.785+10:00umm, thats meant to be RUG!!!umm, thats meant to be RUG!!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11507551793424616654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-9413392858813944272010-06-09T08:47:35.984+10:002010-06-09T08:47:35.984+10:00Your rung looks lovely and colorful! xYour rung looks lovely and colorful! xSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11507551793424616654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-52357034863225018932010-06-09T07:46:56.290+10:002010-06-09T07:46:56.290+10:00I LOVE The Ink-Keeper's Apprentice!

Say's book hangs above your head by some crazy contraption your beloved built that both turns pages and keeps the vintage Shiraz Cabernet blend coming. <br /><br />We have snuggles and buggles - wasn't aware of the cuggle.

All the Winter food is loaded with goodies! My Dad (also diabetic) complains that my dinners put his sugar levels up!<br />It is impossible to shun shuck gorgeous foods.

Just now we are pigging on the most luscious pumpkins!<br /><br />I love the rug colours. Brown instead of the traditional black for your edging works wonderfully with your colour choices. So much softer & more inviting.Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-87211275075696592442010-06-08T06:19:32.191+10:002010-06-08T06:19:32.191+10:00Is that "The Ink Keeper's Apprentice"...Is that "The Ink Keeper's Apprentice" in its entirety?

Then I remember that equator thing.<br /><br />I love the idea of shun. Mireille Guiliano writes of the French take on the topic in her French Women books. And while I completely agree, I find it hard to shake off my American expectations of the global food market. (That being said, I refuse to buy watermelon in any season BUT summer. It's just WRONG.) The funny thing is, if I buy produce when it's not in season, when said fruit or veg has been shipped from around the world, I am always disappointed in the flavor, which came at a high price, too! When will I learn?Ellenhttp://bluestockingbelle.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
