anybody else got a weakness for ticking?


just can't resist ticking - it has that old fashioned grandma-ish appeal to it



you know, like in "Grandma's featherbed"

for this runner i used red ticking rather than the traditional blue



it just seemed right for the fall and Christmas season

i love the way the ends fray

rosemary potatoes - who loves fall comfort food??


have you noticed how much we all start to think about food in the fall!!

my go-to fall comfort food is potato


pretty much in any shape or form...

so, i thought i'd share with you the rosemary potatoes i made for dinner last night

before



after


don't they look yummy

here's how, super simple:

wash potatoes and cut into quaters
drizzle with evoo (be generous), garlic seasoning and rosemary

i use this evoo





and this garlic seasoning



this is the dried rosemary, very fragrant



lay potatoes out on a lined baking sheet

bake at 375F till crispy and done

mmm-mmm!!!

do you have a favorite fall comfort food??
