Mama Kat Thursday: That First Coffee

-
The Mama Kat topic for today is:
 "The best part of my day is..."

I guess I kind of fulfill that famous Folgers Coffee Jingle: "the best part of wakin' up is..."some kind of coffee...in my cup."

The first best part of my day is Hubby finding my head somewhere under the covers to plant a kiss on my forehead, then the second best part of my day is that first cup of coffee.
Usually a mix of Decaf Community Coffee and regular Chocolate Mint 8 O'Clock Coffee.

The next best part of my day is our cat, Sunni, asking me to take a time out, away from the computer, let her sit on my lap for a little attention.
We rest together that way, she and I.

The final best part of my day is when Hubby comes home and we trade stories about how we spent our days.
   Then the cat sits on him.

So what's the best parts of your day?

Thanks for visiting!

Coffee and making coffee. I love my Chemex pot and how it forces me to take my time in the morning. I can't be rushed, which is actually quite a lovely way to start my day - calm, intentional, quietly. I never leave home feeling frantic...even if I drink the entire pot of coffee. LOL!

I too love that moment of reconnecting with my husband each morning...though he is quite an early riser and I am not. So, I can't say that I am always totally conscious when it happens!~May@AchievingClarity

Awww, the goodbye kiss sounds like such a sweet moment! And I agree, getting the first sip of coffee is something I look forward to everyday!

I love the moment with your cat. I had a sweet kitty once who was very much one of the best parts of my day. These days it's impromptu kisses for my son!

My husband leaves our house around 4:45 am so my goodbye kisses usually consist of groggy me trying to figure out what is going on ;). But I do think its one of my favorite parts of the day as well. And yes, coffee...can't live without it.

Mama Kat Prompt Thursday: 5 Comforting Things

-
Image
Have your Turkey yet? I saw frozen Turkeys in passing carts last weekend when we were shopping. Do you cook a whole bird? Bake it? Fry it? Buy one ready-cooked or smoked? Since it's just for myself and my husband, what I do is just a couple Turkey thighs in a slow-cooker, which is faster then a oven and makes them more tender. Enough Turkey.... On to  Mama Kat's Prompt for Today: "List 5 Things That Bring You Comfort."   #1) Reading the Bible & Prayer : I get a lot of comfort from hearing the Lord Jesus through scripture and reviewing the many promises He has given me. I have a stack of index cards, full of them.   #2) My Husband : He's just a really warm, comforting person. That's one reason why I married him. Sunni #3)   My Cat, Sunni : She likes to lay on my chest near my face and I find listening to her steady purr very comforting and relaxing. She especially, at night, just before I go to sleep. #4)   A Good...

Mama Kat Thursday: Backwoods Indiana Memories: Laundry Day

-

Wringer Washing Machine I remember while growing up in rural Indiana in the 60's and 70's, doing laundry was an all day event. My clearest memories of  "laundry day," come from summer time, when we were out of school.  Mother had a certain day of the week she did laundry usually. I liked to sleep in and I recall waking up around 9:30 to the chugging rhythm the wringer washer already at work.  I'd see all the dirty laundry sorted into piles around the utility room floor: whites, light colors,  medium colors, dark colors and heavy darks, like jeans. (The photo is one I found online of a Kenmore wringer washer quite similar to the last model I remember Mother having in the 70's.) You have to understand, wringer washers only do the washing part. S he'd start with whites, then once the washer finished it's wash cycle, it would stop. Then she'd, by hand, pull each item of clothing out of the washer and feed it through the wringer rollers ...

Good Eating Monday: Peach Cobbler Dump Cake!

-
Image
Yes, I tried another new Pinterest recipe and this one is a winner! The primary dictionary definition of a "Dump Cake," is an easily made cobbler in which cake mix is dumped over canned fruit or pie filling.  This recipe was pinned from Del Monte, which means it's been a recipe that's been created & tested in a corporate test kitchen. That's one benefit of all those label, can & box recipes provided by manufacturers on their product packaging. You can even buy cookbooks featuring nothing, but package & label recipes of which many are vintage. The only changes I'd suggest is add one more 15 oz can of fruit. It can be more peaches, cherry fruit cocktail, regular fruit cocktail or whatever you want. (So, I've noted 4 cans of peaches in the recipe.)   It just needs a little more volume on the fruit quantity.  And stir a teaspoon or two of cinnamon into the fruit! Otherwise, this is an excellent, quick dessert you can serve hot with v...
