Thank you all, good friends, for the kind words you extended on yesterday's post.
They may be a bit premature though.
Yesterday marked an anniversary of Judy's and my first meeting.
We didn't get married until April of 1971.
Nevertheless, your kindness was greatly appreciated.
And a couple of things I left out.
As Tom (of France) pointed out, she is also an accomplished fence painter!
As well as an artist in many art genres over the years.
And a lover of books as well as the author herself of a finished but unpublished novel.
And, is it even necessary for me to mention that she is a marvelous cook?
Tradition tends to rein in our kitchen, as in a delicious and savory "pot of beans" she whipped up recently.
The 15-bean mixture was flavored by the addition of a ham-bone left over from our Christmas feast and some red onions.
Her long-time accompaniment comes from a recipe by her Hoosier (Indianan) mother.
Let me tell you, nothing goes as well with "a mess of beans" than a slice of that great cornbread.
So yes I have a multi-talented wife and you might recognize why I refer to her, respectfully, as SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed)!
That's some fine-looking cornbread, and the beans look delicious. You're a lucky man, Bruce.
ReplyDeleteYou were certainly right to see she was The One...and not wait too long!! xx
ReplyDeleteBeans and cornbread--definite comfort food in the winter!
ReplyDeleteYou two share so much love and lots of really yummy food.
ReplyDeleteI want to come and eat at your house. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy aversion to beans means I'd content myself with the cornbread.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful woman and creative spirit in all ways. Now, pass me the cornbread!
ReplyDeleteDo I see chickpeas in there? I hate those little buggers. But it does look a delicious pot of warming food.
ReplyDeleteNope, no chickpeas.
DeleteOops I may have lied. SWMBO says there may have been some in the bag of beans and I found garbanzos listed!
DeleteI had to look up cornbread.....it looks just like our sponge cake, but that would not go with beans!!
ReplyDeleteYou are making me hungry. I love cornbread and haven't had any for quite a while. I need to fix that.
ReplyDeleteAren't you a lucky man?!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just read your previous post -- happy anniversary of your meeting! :) The pics of Judy over the years are great. You two have certainly had a wonderful life together. Those beans also look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI just checked out the "pot of beans" and there are more than fifteen beans in it - and that's just surface beans!
