Granny's gone and done it again

lki would probably be the best if you can, even several times a day would really help.
My mom used to have cold feet, she found out that walking has greatly improved the circulation, she hardly has cold feet anymore, whereas in the same circumstances they felt freezing in times past. She walks two miles twice a day.
She’s 82 years old.

I envy and admire her. For some reason my knees have failed me again today and I can barely make it from my recliner to my kitchen using two canes. Which is aggravating, as I'm in the middle of baking this focaccia. So DH brought me a chair and I'm sitting in front of the oven. In 15 minutes I have to rotate it, then bake it another 15 minutes. Then I can hobble back to my recliner, change into my jammies and settle down for the night. I can't think of anything I did to deserve this. I didn't race any horses or climb any mountains, and I never did learn to skateboard so it can't be that!

This was the road I traveled on to go to work.
Frozen slush at about 36 degrees. Really slippery stuff!View attachment 4262285

Looks like our road only ours is a lot hillier. We have three ridge hills and our driveway is on the middle ridge. The snow is melting but the road is still an ice skating rink. I think I've seen less than 5 trucks go by the house since DH got stuck and no buggies at all. We've had horses fall near our driveway. Keep buckets of ash from the fireplace on hand now for such traction emergencies. Sure saved our bacon when the van got stuck.

Take it easy, Blue girl. You didn't do anything. Our parts warranties are expiring on our parts so naturally that's when they are going to start to malfunction.

Feel better.

It's all good, MC, I was making the funny. If ever I don't make the funny, you can call the undertaker. And thanks, tomorrow'll be a better day, right? Maybe tomorrow I'll race that horse and win.

I looked that up today. said for best results chill it before baking. The one I read .

No, it's right. Lie down in your recliner with your feet as high as they will go. Put a pillow under them if you have to.

Oh I see what you mean. You want to get MORE blood to your feet, not less. Well, maybe that will help though, bc it will cause the congested blood in your feet to flow out of your feet and circulate through your body. I vote you should try it.

I will try when I go to bed tonight. easier in my bed to do!

My recipe said you can either let it rise in a warm place for an hour or so, or put it in the fridge overnight. I need it for tomorrow so I put it in a warm place. It seemed to come out okay. Got nice and bubbly.
