Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

Yesterday I baked mashed potato rolls. mainly I
wanted to warm the oven to help warm the house.
Today I am going to make the dressing/stuffing
for tomorrow. I will put it out on the enclosed back
porch "walk in cooler" until tomorrow.
DD 1 is bringing cowboy beans, DD2 is bringing a ham.
SIL is bringing watergate salad.
all I have left to do is mashed potatoes, gravy and
sweet potatoes.
this is the easiest holiday meal I have ever made.
Bob should be here soon to plow us out..

Merry Christmas everyone,
Been closing the door to the chickens so water does not freeze so fast. Water twice day and collect eggs twice day. Still got couple broken eggs. Do not think they care about door closed, they look outside and say nope not going out there.

 

[jvls1942]

yup, chickens have small brains, but they
even know when it is too cold..
the Pack gave us a nice present. our tv
service was out for almost a week. for some
reason it came back all on it's own for the game.

tv is back . it turned out that it was snow
on the dish afterall. the dish tech said that
was about all of his service calls .

For next time, Is it somewhere you can reach the dish and get snow out of it?

 

[jvls1942]

the dish is mounted on top of the chimney race.
can't reach it from the ground. metal roof with
snow on it, I'm not going up there. This is the first
time that this happened. maybe I could take the pellet
gun and shoot at the dish ..

@jvls1942 I think I heard of "rock salt" guns, that might be a solution for getting snow off a tv dish.

 

[jvls1942]

I looked up the rock salt guns. a bit too pricey
for what I need. I don't think they would have
the range to hit the dish, either.
the slightly warmer weather does make a
difference in how the house feels inside.
that hint of chill is gone.
we lost power yesterday. just long enough to
cause all the clocks to need resetting .

Merry late Christmas! Happy early new year! My chickens got away with 2 minor frostbites from the cold temps and snow. Now they wont leave the coop, even though its almost 40 degrees out, and all the snow is melting. Hope everyone stayed safe over the 4 or 5 days of cold.
