After seeing the holiday traffic and weather predictions on the news, I am so glad we are not going anywhere for Thanksgiving. Especially to Pittsburgh.

I really, really do not miss that drive...

Naive question. Do you have to rinse frozen veg before using it?

It is up to you.
I saw on cooking tv, they just throw frozen veg into whatever they were cooking straight from the bag taken out from the freezer.
Me, I soak them in water until they are defrosted or put them in boiling water.

Morning Coffee is such a joyous thing.
I wonder what human was like in the morning before coffee came along? A bit cranky or just not as happy

My chickens are taking turn going broody. When one goes broody, the rest of them starting to warm up to it and before long I have a few on and those broody girls are very cranky/aggressive, picking fight with everyone. It is all in a day work!

I am excited about the festive season with all it decoration and all the suggestive cooking on tv, I am planning what to cook for Christmas, but I never cook what I planed, never, not even once. We end up eating something else very simple basic because it is less work.

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

It is lightly snowing and everything is calm so it is a winter wonderland at the moment.

Yesterday my nephew helped me get the rest of the gym down to the basement and helped me get the drywall and lumber down too.

It was a trick figuring out how to get 4x8 sheets of drywall down the stairs that land 3' from the wall. We stopped 1/3 the way down the stairs, turned the drywall 8' to vertical and propped up a corner on the second step down. I then went down the stairs while he held the piece leaning up against the wall, I got on a ladder and eased the bottom under the handrail and between two posts and lowered it to the floor. Then we would tip it out and back to 8' to horizontal and move it.
Twelve sheets later, all the lumber and the chop saw moved and I decided I had enough of a work out for the day!

We had a piano in the basement of the house I grew up in. To get it in, they had to rip out the stairs. My mom said that when we moved, the piano was staying.

Good morning, and thanks for the coffee. No snow gently falling here, but we have rain, and I am surely not complaining.

Some sprinkles of snow, kinda mesmerizing.
Lake Effect machine is supposedly going to start cranking up overnight and run for a few days. That could be almost nothing to piles.

Looked up at one point this morning and there were 20 something turkeys cruising thru the back field. Dropped my jaw into a big grin. Haven't seen that many out there for weeks.
