Sheri:

I made a loaf of bread for special to go with left over stir fry for supper, and individual peach pies for dessert. Rod likes dessert and I prefer pie.

with me the thing is Rod loves his sweets. When we lived out on the farm, there was a dessert of some form in the kitchen 7 days a week. But now days it is less frequent.

We are getting milder temps again, it is a strange Winter....but one I could get used to.

Sheri, Junie and I both have husbands with a 'sweet tooth'. I made 24 chocolate muffins 24 hrs ago, there are 4 left. touched

I have not lived here long enough to know if this weather is normal.for here or not. I am just not a fan of any winter of any type. I prefer fall.

My coffee needs warmed up.

Good morning. I'm a snooze alarm again. My groceries are supposed to get here before the rain starts in a few hours. I don't know when it will clear up enough to go again.

Tina, is it still raining? Supposed to start here again sometime tonight and rain all day tomorrow and Monday. The temps are cold but not windy so I can take that.

I didn't do any baking but I did cook some vegetable beef soup. Good for a cold, dreary day and now I'm full as a tick.

Glad you got some cooking done for the freezer, Tina. To have food ready in the freezer is always good.

Sunny, I hope you got all of your laundry done.

I love vegetable beef soup, Sheri. Today I found a tomato based ham and beans recipe. As soon as I get some dried beans, I plan on making myself some. It is a slow cooker recipe so It should go well. All except for the herb de provenance.if I spelled that right.
I may not add that. I have no idea of the flavor. Does anyone else have any idea what flavors it imparts ?

Going to read a bit, then I am off to bed...... sweet dreams

Herbs de Province tastes of flowers, Carol. Not my thing. A good substitute without the flowers would be a basic Italian seasoning. I have found few edible flowers that I like. Too bitter for me.

"Herbes de Provence comes from Provence, a region in France, while Italian seasoning, despite the name, is an American creation. Also, while herbes de Provence do use most of the ingredients found in Italian spice mixes (with the exception of basil), it also includes lavender flowers and has a strong floral taste"

Sweet dreams all.

Well zI tell you, there is a recipe to make up herbs de provenance (or however you spell it), I do not want my bean soup to taste like flowers or Italian seasoning.. Thanks for the information. I "may" add a bay leaf or 2 but that is about it.

Again thanks so much. And goodnight again. Sleep well.

Afternoon all,

We just got off a family phone call, found out hubby's older brother had covid, and his daughter... hubby's cousins (4) of them all had it...
they all live in Yuma and none of them isolated... Yuma is worst in state for it... no mask laws... no nothing to keep people home... and I guess the snow birds that want to just are showing up too.. including the Canadians that aren't supposed too.. per their guidelines... so won't be going there anytime soon... still can't get vaccine here yet... so home I stay.. good thing I like to read...

Just finished my next month budget and set up bills... good to have that done... I am working on a guide for hubby in case I get sick so he can do it... he never has so sure hope I don't get sick.. this is the man who brought me the bills when I was in the hospital for surgery...

Well off to see what I can find for lunch... have a good rest of day all and stay well..

Nana

That is nice of you, Nana..I paid.and took care of the bills all of our married life until my DH retired. He told me and I quote "I have to pay the bills now". Well he never has before his retirement and it scares me. To give you an example..he had me write out a check to pay a medical bill for him when the EOB came, BEFORE we got the bill..and again WHEN we got the bill..nothing I could say would change his mind. So luckily we got the extra money back.

Luckily I told him now that he is retired we are each going to take care of our own medical papers..so at least he cannot mess mine up.

Tina..we got our breakfasts a bit before 10 am so that worked out well.

Nana, the 'snow birds' need to stay home....they were warned already by our Prime Minister. They are now peeved because the new law states that they must quarantine for two weeks in a preapproved hotel when they come back...minimum amount is over $2000 a person.

Sunny,

Well I hope it costs them as much as they "saved" to come down... can't understand putting your life in danger... southern AZ is bad for covid right now.... we won't go there and we have a lot of relatives there.... at least bil is better now... he is almost 75 and still working... never saved , spoiled his kids and multiple wives but never thought he might live a long time...

My oldest just sent pics of her snowfall so far... about a foot on long island... she is freezing too she says... don't envy that at all...

Well gotta go start another load of laundry and see what else I can get done .. using a cane today so won't be to much.. isn't even the foot I broke it's the other leg... hate getting old....!!!!!

Stay well all and take care
Nana

I'm glad you have a cane to ease your way, Sherri. I am sorry you need it.
I agree, some parts of getting old are a drag. But it beats the alternative.

Happy Groundhog Day!

Well, they shut down the whole province due to the storm...we are supposed to get almost two feet with heavy winds. That's what we get for boasting about our milder Winter. lol

DH is dreading the work ahead because people will not stay home and they will be dodging little cars stuck in snow drifts while trying to clear the roads.

I am so glad I do not have to deal with driving in the snow. I am so glad your province closed up for it.
What is everyone doing today?

LOL..I was sleeping. I could not sleep last night..then my DD had me awake at 6:30 to run an errand. I have just had lunch and I think I am up for the day now.

I might also do a load of laundry in a bit. It seems there is always laundry to do...

Thanks Sunny. I will tell DH you said so.

We are having taco crunch tonight....you use corn chips on a plate instead of a taco shell. Then you layer the rest of the ingredients. Kinda like a taco salad but again..no shell, just corn chips. I like it because I can prepare the ingredients ahead of time. So it " seems" like less work.

Crazy 8's is fun. Of course my last daughter insists it was a rip off of Uno. I have told her Crazy 8's was first but...

I have never played Uno before Tina but I have seen the cards for it.

Your taco crunch sounds good Junie. I like mine with sour cream as well...it gives a tartness to the flavor.

Schools are closed for the second day in a row, the roads are terrible...and it is still snowing.

Good morning.
Uno is Crazy 8's without the blasphemous poker cards. About 10 X more expensive. I love games.

I do not think I have ever played crazy 8's. But I have played Uno. That was fun.

When I think ahead to buy sour cream, we have that with out taco crunch as well. I also offer up jared salsa if I have it. Rod got the salsa last night.

I need to go wash my hair then get something out for supper. That should have been done already.

Uno has added cards that do other things like switch direction and such, but the basic premise is the same.
I want my hair washed too. But maybe I ought to cut it first.

I think I need to wash my hair again. That or my sinuses are still messed up. The news said it has not been cold enough long enough to freeze out the bugs, so I am assuming the same is true for allergies ??

Well, I think we have different climates from there to here, Carol. My deciduous plants and trees are already budding up so allergies are right behind them There are fresh grasses growing in the fields. Hay fever is here.

Yes you are right, Tina.
I am hoping that in a few years my body will be built up against what I can only assume is different types of allergens. I had some trouble back in IL but not like here and not so late into the winter.

I was so sick from stuffed sinuses that Rod went out and got take out for our supper.
He wanted pizza so that is what we had.

We used to always have a humidifier back out at the farm... But we have not since. Thanks for the reminder. All day I have had a bad headache..even with tylenol. I was on my way to bed and we got a phone call. Well, now I am wide awake. Good news is I think the headache is finally going away.

I have a huge stockpot that I keep on simmer on the back of my stove all day and all night. It adds moisture to our dry air in the winter and some warmth to the center of my house. I take out what I need to make coffee or boil water for pasta or something. And add more each time. But it's not something I would recommend for an electric stove.
Sweet dreams all.

I keep an old steel kettle on our woodstove for moisture as well Tina, we also have a cold air humidifier for GG when she is under the weather. They work wonderfully.

I hope you feel better today Junie.

They announced the U.K. variant has officially been documented in our province...the nursing homes are being hit hard.

I used to have a cold air humid for Illnesses. I do not think it made our last move. We have a little gas stove for use on the sunroom that I could put a pot of water on for humidity..but if we even have the pilot light lit, we get condensation on the windows thst runs down on my woodwork. I was spending all of my time wiping that stuff down so the wood would not rot. So we do not use that room in the winter now, If ever the girls are here they wear jackets out there to play.

I do not feel tired this morning Sunny. And thankfully I do not have any headache. I guess I will resume the flonase. Good news ( for allergies and such) is it will be in the teens or colder for a week or so beginning the end of the week. Or so they say.

The roads were slippery this morning so I put off going for groceries once again...I did shovel the house roof though. I have to tackle the shed roof this afternoon....it is a milder Winter but the big storms seem to come fast and furious.

Good morning.

Sorry for the slippery roads, Sunny. I am sure it is nice to have a clean roof. Please be careful.

I am soon to be out of meat here..and will need to go to the meat market. However I may put off doing a Wal-Mart order for a bit.

Roofs are clean. I'll go get a few groceries at the local store when DH gets home from work. It costs more $$ to go to the local store but is safer Covid-wise(I go right before the store closes so there are no people in it).

Junie do you go to a meat market rather than the grocery store for your meat? The meat markets around here are so much more expensive than the grocery store that I don't go often. There's one about a mile from me.

Yes I do, Sheri first I began because they are my SIL's relatives. Then I found our back yards touch in the corner. Then there is the fact that I know their meat is fresh as it is always frozen, even the cheese. It may be a bit higher but like today..their pork steaks were $1.99 a pound. That price is hard to beat. I buy around $80 to $100 dollars worth. Then I am done for awhile. I got used to that convenience real quickly.

Bestofour, our meat shop is cheaper and fresher than a grocery store as well...because they buy whole animals to process themselves. It is the freshest meat that one can get, but it is an hour drive away.

I got a weeks worth of groceries. The prices keep getting higher and the amount of food gets smaller. Even the boxes of items have less in them...it is crazy. I don't know how people can afford to shop at that certain grocery store only.

I'm not sure how anyone does it, Sunny. I just know how I did things during the hard times in my life. Worked harder was one thing. Made do was another. Did without came in for a showing. And why I made a habit of collecting cookbooks and hints from the generations of pioneers before me.

That's what I mean Tina. I shop frugally, make and bake all the meals, grow my own for what I can preserve...even have most of my own meat yet it is still a shock for the price of staples at the store. How do people who don't do such even afford to buy their groceries? I'd be scared to see their receipts.

I don't do that anymore, doing all for myself. And the receipts are scary. I share the grocery budget with two others and that's how we get along.

I hate technology, even if it does keep me in touch with all of you guys....I just lost my whole post..not gonna go thru it again. Just know that I agree with you both. I have no idea how families get by.

I used to freeze a lot from my garden, and planted enough potatoes to keep from buying them at the store until after the new year. And we "grew" our own beef a few years, but Emily didn't do well with that so we stopped.

Now I still freeze some when I get say extra corn on the cob from someone, but otherwise I just do what I can. What I have to spend for the 2 of us is ridiculous to my notion.And it is not like I am making ridiculously expensive meals.

I'm not going to do the math but things have changed a lot over the years. The per cent of income spent on housing and groceries and utilities has changed drastically through the years. And the amounts have outgrown basic incomes. Those have not grown to the challenge.

Good morning.

I hope you slept well, Tina. I went to bed really early last night 🌙 to see how that worked. I was up around 5 with a sinus headache. I stayed in bed until a few minutes ago. This is way too early for me. It is 15*F outside now. And oh, there is about 2 inches of snow. But hey, it is not on the roads or my sidewalks. That is a first.

It is a bit colder now..and there is a light coating of snow on the roads and sidewalks. Good news is the sun is also out. Bad news is, I do not think the furnace has shut off since we have been up.

Yes, I agree as well. We are " supposed" to get freezing weather between now and the weekend..and no warm days to break up the ice and snow. I SO hope the weather people are wrong ! We have to go get our booster covid vaccinations on Wednesday.

Ah yes, freezing temps. My daughter had her school cancelled because of the ice and cold. They have a lot of rural children in her school and the rural roads are not cleared there and so are more hazardous, so to keep the kids, and the busses safe they cancel school. I have no idea if my Grandson had his school cancelled or not. I sent Valarie a text, but of course, she has not answered me.

23*F out but feels like 13.

I am glad that you do not have it that cold either, Tina.

The news tonight said at some point it is going to get much colder. It.is still 23/24*F...but over night that is supposed to change and get much colder. And go for the rest of the week and Valentine's Day weekend.

I will say goodnight. Sleep well friends.

We are in a cold snap as well, it is minus -20*F this morning and I have to leave in a few minutes for a doctor's appt. I plugged in the truck to warm the engine, our vehicles have block heaters installed in them. You plug them in when extreme cold is in the forecast....it keeps damage at bay.

Be safe, Sunny.

We are leaving.to get our covid boosters in about 2 hours. So far the roads are just sorta bad. Not supposed to be really bad until the afternoon. I hope we are home by then.
Weather channel says it is 24 but feels like 13.

And oh, good morning.

No vaccines yet. I am eligible due to age but none near in town. They are out in most places nearby. They are available in other towns in my county but I'll wait until they restock nearby. I do live in the largest county in the US.

Well, I'm not going out anywhere so I don't feel much endangered. I'd rather see more people who are working out in the jungle get a vax. And people with comorbidities and teachers, etc.
