Spending my day in the kitchen. Made up a batch of my blind man chili for dinner, and going to spend my afternoon baking up some yummy chocolate chip cookies. It's a cozy cooking kind of day today. 😀🍪

I wonder what ever happened to all the starving kids in China. My parents always made a big deal about that when I was young and refused to eat my dinner. Somehow, eating my food was going to what, make them less hungry? 🤔

This morning I finished reading Rachel Harrison's book Such Sharp Teeth, and damn, what a hell of a book! Then again, every book she writes is amazing! A great story, great characters, and just a damn great time. Definitely read that one if you haven't yet! 📖

It's cold and rainy outside, we have a fire going in the fireplace, I'm sitting here with a hot cup of coffee and listening to one of my favorite podcasts. It's a perfect fall evening. 🍃🔥☕️

Just got everything out to deep clean the fireplace and get it ready to go for the season. Now, I just need someone to come and do it for me, lol. Never a fun thing to get done, but definitely something that needs done.
