What to do when there's no Cracker Barrel

[onefixedstar]

With the onset of autumny weather, I've begun craving winter foods. B, on the other hand, is trying to get as much use out of his grill as he can. Friday night, in true Canadian fashion (he's learning fast!), he swept his deck free of snow and grilled some steak. On Sunday, in keeping with my desire for comfort food and his southern roots, I made chicken & dumplings. Overall, I think it turned out pretty well. B's only complaint was that there weren't enough dumplings.
