December is coming to a close & I've used my snowblower only once so far this this season. I'm not complaining.

Does that mean I will be trapped in the car and forced to live on left over Christmas cookies to survive?

Does that mean I will be trapped in the car and forced to live on left over Christmas cookies to survive? What better survival food than some good leftover Christmas cookies? I still have a 12 volt coffee maker from my truck driving days that plugs into an accessory plug and makes 2 cups of coffee. You bring the cookies CB and I will bring the coffee pot. |

My son who lives in Marcy has been eagerly awaiting enough snow to ride his snowmobile. I imagine that anywhere that gets enough snow to ride is where he and his wife will be trailering their snowmobile to. He lives near a trail that allows them to ride from their backyard to inlet without having to ride on any roads.
My snowmobiling days are over. I get cold just thinking about riding. At one time the ex and I would ride from Point Rock to Constableville or Booneville for dinner at either the Parquet Hotel in C'ville or the Hulburt House in Booneville. When we lived on Kayuta the favorite ride was just up the road to Buffalo Head or Garramone's. On Sunday's the White Birch Inn was a fave. Now I freeze just taking the dog out to pee. haha

One of my ex supervisors at work a few years ago went out & bought a new snowmobile paying $10K for it & made sure everyone knew it. That winter was the warmest on record with record low snowfall. He was not a happy camper making those payments every month.

There was enough that the driveway and walk needed to be cleared. Thankfully son Michael took care of it.

Looks like New Years Day will be a nasty one with rain & freezing rain. We're staying put anyway because of COVID & Lasagna is on the menu so we're good to go.

Looks like New Years Day will be a nasty one with rain & freezing rain. We're staying put anyway because of COVID & Lasagna is on the menu so we're good to go. I am not going anywhere either however I never can go anywhere what with no transportation or friends or even family for what they are worth. Yup a real Debbie downer. LOL I am making this since it is supposed to bring good luck and prosperity. Been doing this for several years for that reason but no measuremesauable result. I use Italian sausage medium hot.  Cotechino With Lentils An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott Preparation time: 20 minutes plus overnight lentil soaking time Cooking time: 3 hours 45 minutes Serves 3-4 1 cotechino sausage 2 cups lentils (I use lentils), soaked in water overnight 1 onion, peeled and diced 2 carrots, peeled and diced 2 cloves garlic, peeled and diced 2 bay leaves 4 cups stock (I skimmed the fat from the broth from simmering the cotechino) Salt and pepper for seasoning 3 tablespoons fresh parsley Cotechino can be found at Italian specialty stores. I bought one at Paesanella in Marrickville.  Step 1 - Firstly cook the cotechino. Place a pot of water to boil and then place the cotechino in it. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2.5 hours or until it floats to the top. At this point you can leave it to cool (which I did as I was going out for the day). I also put the simmering stock in the fridge to separate the fat and I used it as stock for making the lentils. Step 2 - Heat a large pot and heat some oil or fat from the cotechino and saute the onion, carrot and garlic until soft. Add the lentils, bay leaves and stock and place the lid on and bring to a boil and cook with the lid on for 20 minutes. Then remove the lid and cook off the stock for 20 minutes. Season to taste. Step 3 - Heat a frypan and slice the cotechino. Add a little oil and pan fry the slices so that they are slightly crisp. Ladle the lentils (removing the bay leaves) in a serving dish with parsley and then place the sliced cotechino on top. |
