Thanks, Dutch Girl. I'd forgotten about Carbonnade à la flamande. My husband used to make it a lot on cold wintry days. I must remember it this fall because there is a scent of autumn in the air this morning.

good morning everyone.

There is a scent of smoke in the air here from the fires.

Have a great Labor Day everyone.

Beef stew does sound wonderful! Oh yeah!....gonna see if I can find a good recipe.

Love the smell of stew as it is cooking it on the stove. Doesn't hurt if you are baking biscuits, too.

now that sounds good bargoo. stew and biscuts or fresh baked bread.

3 kids in bed with nervous tummies. Back to school in the morning!

I miss those days Julia....all the new "dreams"...clothes....

Homemade bread and biscuits sound good...indeed

And as long as the oven is on how about a pie, blueberry is my favorite.

Drooling over blueberry pie. Thank goodness for this oasis within 3FatChicks where all the other threads are talking about mindful eating and other such restrictive thinking.

Food PORN! I love it. Right now I could go for a slice of blueberry pie but will have to settle for Fibre 1 with blueberries. ** Sigh **

The kids around here are back to school this morning. It feels like January 1! At least the weather is great. I remember many years when it was a scramble to find rainwear that first day.

Happy Tuesday.

When I bought a new car a few years ago I noticed a Marie Callendar's right across the street from the dealer. If you don't have Marie's in your area, they make great pies. I decided that when I finished with the dealer I would celebrate by having lunch at Marie Callendar's. I had lunch and took a piece of blueberry pie to go. I drove 50 miles home, my mouth watering for blueberry pie, when I took a bite IT WASN'I BLUEBERRY !!! What a disappointment. A few months later my son took me to lunch at a different Marie's, same scenario, ordered a piece of blueberry pie to go. We left the restaurant and got about a half a mile away and I realized I had forgotten my pie at the restaurant.I was dismayed and thought I am just not supposed to have blueberry pie, but we went back, they had already bussed the table but they bought my story and gave me another one.

Blueberry Cheesecake. Yyyuuuuuuummmmm!!!!!

Oh man..... why did ya have to go and say cheesecake LOL !
