The wind begins to howl
as the trees in rhythm bend -
a copper kettle whistles on
as heat my wood stove sends.
A cozy spot is set nearby
where warmth is found in measure
with quiche and salad waiting there
and a teapot full of treasure!

The song "In The Bleak Midwinter" comes to mind lately! My yard is so brown and dreary.
We need moisture here in Colorado and I am well aware I will need to water on some warmer days to feed any perennials that cry out for a drink of water. I think we loose perennials here unless we understand that.
The recipe for the quiche is so easy:
Preheat oven to325 degrees. Boil a bunch of broccoli till tender-
about 1 1/2 cups chopped - drain - set aside
Butter a pyrex glass pie plate. In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup bisquick baking mix, 1 cup milk, 2/3 cup sour cream, 2 eggs 1/2 tsp salt, 1 cup colby cheese and 2/3 cup sour cream.
Bake for 1 hour but watch as could be less

Lovely poem, lovely setting and lovely recipe. A really heart warming post. I enjoyed it very much.
ReplyDeleteHi Bernideen
ReplyDeleteYour poem is lovely and we both had the same idea for tea by the fire this week.
I've made a bisquick quiche for years but my recipe is slightly different - still tasty though.

Hi Bernideen,
ReplyDeletewhat a comfy space to sit there on a little table beside the fire. Your table looks gorgeous as always. The china with roses and ivy is very charming. Thank you for the yummy recipe. What a strange winter, where we have to water the perennials.
Best greetings, Johanna
Such a warm and inviting tea you have prepared. I am enjoying a cup of green tea now and drooling over your tea set.
ReplyDeleteI love your poem Bernideen! Lovely! You are so talented in so many areas. And your photos are lovely!
ReplyDeleteCheers!

What a lovely fireside tea. There is nothing like a real wood stove. Enjoyed seeing your green tone tea set. You don't see many that color. Love your poem, you are so talented in many things.

Your poem is lovely and so is your Fireside Tea For One. That quiche does sound tasty.
ReplyDeleteThe poem is a lovely touch and tea by the fireside is awesome. A pretty table.

ReplyDeleteThis looks so inviting, Bernideen. Especially given the cold, windy days we've had lately. Thanks for the reminder about watering the gardens in winter. I'm so bad about that and lost a couple of rosebushes last year.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely, lovely, just like you.
ReplyDeleteBernideen, Your music is lovely, and so is your fireside tea. Gorgeous china today!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Beth
