I hit the jackpot this afternoon. John came home with a whole bag of these beauties.I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. Making tomato sauce. I love knowing that I had it together enough in August to get some sauce in the freezer. Perfect for one of those cold and rainy winter nights when you batten down the hatches, build a fire and smother your pasta in a summer tomato sauce. It will be worth it all come some stormy January night.

Oh, how I would love being at home and making tomato sauce! It's cool and rainy in Wisconsin tonight, and that really sounds like a good thing for a cool and rainy couple of days.
ReplyDeleteI love to buy or make things in the summer and fall, and then turn to them in winter for sustenance. It's like opening the gate on summer in winter. Likewise, I always have some sort of treat - usually something I bought in France - to open at Christmas!
I forgot to add that CLG was one of the best styled magazines out there. It never failed to enchant me! The last issue I received by mail was a holiday issue and then the magazine went away and came back for a couple of issues and then Pfft! It was gone again. One of the first books to go. I miss it.
ReplyDeleteHi Kary, and thanks again for visiting my blog. I so miss CLG! I loved Sharon's column - it was one of the first things I turned to!
ReplyDeleteCLG was consistently good, issue to issue. The only similar book that I can make that claim for is Victoria under Nancy Lindemeyer. Those two magazines were my salvation in the 1990s, although I did like Country Homes as well. I'm glad I saved a few CLGs. I will have to start looking for them at flea markets...
I know..I really loved Sharon's column too..and really liked Victoria with Nancy. If you love photography check out Lynn Karlin. She did alot of the photgraphy in the CLG. She is a great friend and she lives in Maine.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to look for those all old CLG's.....
