Made Cornish hens tonight. Haven't made them in many years, and Signora V. has never had them. Stuffed 'em with chopped onion, parsley, sage, and rosemary (no thyme!). Steamed a bunch of string beans and covered them (sort of) with a country gravy. Cooked up a box of au gratin potatoes and added some salt, paprika and rosemary to that.
Quite nice. The Missus approves.
Since we're pretty much snowed in here, I made sure to stock up on essentials for us and the cat. We're definitely good for a few days.

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"
"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"
"It was a grass harp... And we listened."
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"
