Cool morning and homeyness

It is a cool morning here and we hadn't put our heat on yet in this area of our home. SOOOO it was a good excuse to light the fire and enjoy some cozy time! (Hey--if you are looking for my tablescape it is in the post below this one)

I enjoyed some gluten free toast with applebutter (from the Mountains of NC)--on my new plate and cup--I love these for Fall and winter!!

It is the nice thing about the South--one can enjoy warm fires any ole time ;-)

    There is nothing so cozy as a fireplace going on a cooler day.
    I have some of those same dishes!
    Enjoy your weekend,
    Carolyn

    Hello,

    Your fire looks cozy indeed. It's been pouring rain here on the Island all night and morning - a fire would have been nice.

    You asked about the sage leaves. I just pick them, and heat a little olive oil in a pan, plunk the individual leaves in for a few seconds on each side, then fish them out onto a paper towel to drain and sprinkle them with salt. I have to be careful not to let the oil get too hot or else they burn easily. Medium heat is plenty.
    I would think that brushing them with a little oil and baking them for a few minutes until crispy would work just as well.
    I didn't put many on the salad - just a few as a garnish.

    Enjoy,
    Lorrie
