Greetings from Eastern PA,
It's a beautiful Winter Wonderland outside. We had some rain yesterday morning which turned into what I call "thick rain" - not really rain, but not quite snow, but not sleet either. That eventually changed into all snow and it is still coming down this morning. I took this picture when I came downstairs and stepped out onto our patio:
It's a lot. Right now it is very pretty. The street has not been plowed. I was supposed to watch Iris today, but I'm not going anywhere!
At Thanksgiving I had gotten a free (8 lbs!!) turkey breast from one of our grocery stores and decided to cook that yesterday. I made stuffing and a small green bean casserole. Good food on a snowy day. This morning I have the bones simmering on the stove for soup. I think a turkey sandwich is on the menu for lunch! I will freeze the soup for another day.
Some nice surprises over the weekend: I discovered a new flower on my biggest Christmas cactus!
And then I discovered buds on another Christmas cactus!
I guess they really like living in my office room (where I never turn on the heat). When I watered plants this morning I noticed even more buds on the one plant.
So, a good day to stay in. We don't even need to go grocery shopping tomorrow if we don't want to. Plenty of food in the freezer. I think today will be spent knitting and/or stitching, some reading and listening to the Unselected Journals of Emma M Lion and, perhaps, a little nap after lunch!
I hope everyone is warm and cozy and if you are in the midst of the storm or expecting it, stay safe!!
I hope everyone can stay home and safe and enjoy some yummy food today! We thankfully only got some light snow, most of which melted, but I know there's a lot coming down by you and along the East Coast. Let's hope this is the last gasp of winter!
ReplyDeleteCooking a turkey breast in this type of weather is a great idea! I thought of it too late to defrost the one I have in the freezer. I did make spaghetti and meatballs last night and I'm making red beans and rice today. Hoping the power stays on, this storm is a doozy!
ReplyDeleteWe are having pierogi's and sausage for dinner here! (the other perfect food for inclement weather! ha!) Enjoy your snow day!
ReplyDeleteWe got about three inches total. Just enough to make everything pretty but not enough to be a nuisance. I'm thinking having a turkey in the oven would be a good thing on a day like today. I'm going to have to settle for some tofu and red lentil soup since we're not going anywhere today either.
