Dining Room Chair from the Speaker's House, Palace of Westminster - A Poem - Stewed Pears . com
There was something so steadfast, and slightly, pompous, about this dining room chair, that called for closer examination.

Always looking for one pot dishes. Tried this Italian Meatball Soup. First time soaking bread in onion juice👍 Didn't look like the recipe😂 think bc my meatballs were not browned enough & skimped on canned tomato. But it works. Tastes like- spaghetti & meatballs🍜

Paris. Musée d'Orsay. Does this qualify as a window too?
Taken from the second level of the museum. Looking up toward the domed iron and glass roof in the main hall of the museum, which was originally a Beaux-Arts train station. The roof and windows along the walls are made of thousands of rectangular pieces. On the ground level, people walk down the museum's majestic central avenue amongst white sculpted figures.

"Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore,
only kindness that ties your shoes
and sends you out into the day to gaze at bread,
only kindness that raises its head
from the crowd of the world to say
It is I you have been looking for ... "

-Naomi Shihab Nye, from "Kindness"

Scotland. Eilean Donan.
A view of a part of Eilean Donan castle - not the usual view from across the bridge. This photo shows both the curved and rectangular stone walls, some featuring what look to be restored battlements (?). A single narrow rectangular window is below these. A further two windows below it. In the foreground, is sloping land and grass and further stone.

Black Forest Cake (Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte). This one is pure, unconditional love in cake form. Rich chocolate, sweet cream, sour cherries. A perfect combination! This is always on my Christmas dessert table. The recipe and a little history can be read here: www.myhistoricaltable.com

Now that we're in December (WHERE DID 2025 GO?) starting to think about Christmas.

For colder climes this parfait can be served with a warm coulis, or some warm spiced stewed fruit such as ... 🥁🥁🥁 ...

"BREAK THE CYCLE

take a long, cool drink of water
fill your jug again
take a long, cool drink of water
feel the seep as your body gets wetter
forgive the drought of your sin
the dry-life boredom, and then
take a long, cool drink of water"
