Ah, that explains why I'm burning stuff on the new cooker. I'm on the second floor.

Unless your 2nd floor is over 3,500' above sea level, I wouldn't blame it on altitude

I'll just measure to make sure, although I'm sure you're probably right.

REALLY glad all the ice/mix/rain stayed south of us. Snowing like mad tho.

Fact is I've got an electric hob. It's my first. I've had gas before. Getting aquainted isn't going well. Some forward planning is required not to mention attention. I'm not very good at that when it comes to cooking. Primarily due to a terminal lack of interest. I want to eat not cook basically.
I've set the smoke alram off a few times now. Rumour is around the flats I'm currently holding some kind of record for it. I think the others here have nicknamed me Burn.

I yell at ours when it goes off usually cooking bacon..
I am just cooking as the Son waves a towel at it ...

HUGE change!
Really takes some practice.

One of the hens is back in lay,
that's what I thought I heard this morning.
Plus I saw her stalking the nests yesterday.

I do believe it's day 25 of no smoking. I'm not paying real close attention to the days, because I knew right away it was over. I've found my self quite a pile of energy in my 180°, but still trying to figure out my focus. Everything is getting a little better, for sure. Knowing that the cravings don't ever seem to go away has helped, I think. At least I know.

You can do this and your body will appreciate it. As will everyone you come in contact with that doesn't smoke

Nice to have you here with us, so have a cup to start with:

Geez, that much coffee will keep her up for a week!

Nice spread though.

Flat shovel might work on a paved surface, maybe you can get under the sheet and lift. But to break thick ice into manageable pieces, I find the ice chisel superior.

I just use a thick metal pole, it breaks the ice and cuts out small circles of ice.

Oh, yeah, my back gets tired from bending over that short little thing! The ice is still firmly stuck to the ground, and I can't get under it because the blacktop underneath is so broken up.

We have dirt and gravel for our driveway, the road it runs into, and the next road. Takes a long time to get plowed.
