It feels as though winter has finally set in.
These blustery days are accompanied by gray skies and cold rainfalls.
My daughter and I were just saying how our bodies have hit the ‘hibernation’ phase. It’s a real effort to get out of the house these days.
Nights are the best. They are cozy and warm with smell of the crisp night air.
Inside, there is a hearty sauce simmering down, tossed with sauteed yellow squash, a nice pasta and a sprinkle of basil and cheese, nothing quite compares to a nice plate of this.
