A Sweet Improvisation

Something about the rainy weather and the falling leaves and the colder temperatures, made us crave foods we haven't had in ... well, about a year. I asked Leah to get out the big pot and make her very tasty homemade three-bean chili. It simmered for five hours and so far I've had at least five helpings. Don't worry, that's not five helpings in one day. I think that could be dangerous.

We've also enjoyed unwrapping dozens of Kraft caramels and watching them melt into a sugary goo on the stove. We've taken turns coating apples. And more than one recently, we've had sticky lips and fingers in need of a quick washing.

But it turns out our math is poor and we didn't buy enough caramel apple sticks. But if Leah is anything, she is resourceful.

We have that same microwave, only in red. How neat is that?

A culinary nickel-fix. I like it!
