Summer Cookin'

I cooked ratatouille for the 'rents tonight. The meal was sort of bland, but the cooking experience was nice. My parents have a good setup, with westward facing windows in the kitchen. The sun descended as I cooked, and light slowly illuminated the entire kitchen. I had music playing and the back door was swung open wide, in attempt to make summer last just a little longer. I could hear birds chirping at the bird feeder out back, and at one cooking intermission I saw both cats watching the feeder regally from the porch.
