Today my plans included making bread, soup and maybe cookies. But I needed stock for the soup, so off to the grocery store I went, very early this morning. As I headed back to the car with my bag of chicken stock, I noted that a full 50% of the cars parked in the lot had dogs waiting patiently, and not so patiently, for their owners. I wondered if there was a correlation. Are people with dogs forced to get up early, and therefore get an early start on their days? Certainly I was there early because Katie got me up. Hmmmm.

Now the soup is simmering and the bread is rising. The cookies..well, we’ll see if I get to those!
