Just another day.

Today I wiped down the shelves while wearing a child-sized fireman's hat. Not in a million years would I have ever seen that one coming. Not in a million-bazillion years. But Christopher insisted, so who was I to refuse?

Also.
I am investing in a food mill before next year's harvest/canning season. I spent 2 hours peeling, seeding and dicing Romas for sauce the other night. That was a looong time. And it'd make applesaucing and squash souping a heck of a lot easier, too. I'm not a big fan of one-trick ponies in the kitchen, but the $40 just might be worth it.

Lastly.
Knitting season is here. It's cool and rainy today. Banana bread is up next before we head out to see what sorts of puddles are ready for stomping.

And one more thing.
I find myself missing Copenhagen at this time of year. It's the oddest thing. Perhaps because this is what the city was like for much of the year? A little bit rainy, a little bit cold, very grey and very cozy.
