She Returns!
3:48 PM
She, the Domestic Goddess, has returned!! She has been rather scarce around here of late, but yesterday, she came back. She made a pot roast, beef veggie soup and a big, big pot of spaghetti sauce for the cool winter evenings soon to come. Yummm!
As we sat eating some of the soup last night for dinner, I tried to explain to my husband that we needed to sing the goddess' praises and flatter her, or it might be a while before we saw her again. He really didn't take me seriously which will explain why we won't be seeing her again for a while. Silly man!
I must say her soup was exquisite. A while back she told me to take any dabs of left over veggies, rice, tomatoes, etc. and to put them in a big container in the freezer and when it was full, she would appear and make the soup. Well, being the busy person that I am (apparently a little on the silly side myself), I didn't get around to it for a while, and the container just filled up this past weekend.
As I stood there looking at all that frozen "stuff" and thinking to myself, "now what?" Poof! She appeared! The goofy illustration is part of my heartfelt thanks and shameless homage (ploy) to entice her to come back and play at my house again - very soon!!

ReplyDeleteTo those of you wishing to lure her to your own homes - ummm, beats me how to do it! This chick is at nobody's beck and call. She sashays in and she sashays out as the spirit moves her!!
ReplyDeleteTeri, glad to hear the Mac is working out!
Karie - good luck in finding her!
Leslie, thanks for stopping by and commenting!
This is the first time I have met the carrot cook. She is adorable.
ReplyDeleteHahaha!! You made me laugh. I love your illustration...and I love your story. (And I know I'd love some of the goddess' creations!!) I need to conjure her too.....
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to be home for good so she appears at our place once more, too. She's adorable. You should frame her and hang her up in the kitchen, you know.
ReplyDeleteYep it was soup weather at my house, too, and I use the veggies in the freezer trick, too. Love your goddess image. I will have it in my head from now on when I am pulling those veggies out of the freezer.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous!! It really made me smile. I can totally relate to your story. I want to hang it up too. I love it!!
ReplyDeleteLaure thanks for the laugh today. She appears here now and then.
ReplyDeleteLaughed when I read this and saw The Domestic Goddess! You've got a wonderful sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteYou have a Domestic Goddess???? I love it! I think I have the Sock Fairy instead, who steals socks out of the dryer. Darn Sock Fairy doesn't clean or cook either. I'll have to file a complaint.
ReplyDeleteIs there an agency to get this Domestic Goddess from? Or do you have do draw a wonderful illustration such as yours to make her magically appear?
Let's talk!
