Domestic Goddess: Is this correct, if one would like to post/share a recipe, we do so here?  If so, was searching to see if there were separate recipe categories?

Quote from: Shirley on January 24, 2023, 10:32:05 PMThe crew that installed wanted the wood in the house for a couple weeks before installing, said they wanted it to adjust to the humidity.
That's a good thing. There are not many who would take the time to do that, but it makes for a better job. It's the right way.

Good morning..

We did have a light dusting of snow during the night, now if it would only hold off till after the vet appointment. Will fill in the morning with putzing about, then on the road for an hour to the vet.

Shirley ,we also asked clients to climatize the wood flooring  when doing a job.

Jane ,we are also to get a gift of snow but hope it holds off!!

Patricia, I will take your 1 - 2 inches and may have our 8+ inches. :thumbup: One can only hope the weather folks are wrong.

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

I'm up and have the beds stripped and the first load in the dryer, second in the washer.  All the weather reports are saying that it's snowing but I was just out for the second time and there is NO snow coming down in my yard!  We shall see!

Today is going to be wash and change the bed day and stay home!  I might not eve get dressed!  Oh well, I guess I better get dressed, just in case!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Don't hear that term much any more.
The long predicted snow for this morning has been un-predicted. Looks like the day will warm up too much before the rain gets here to make it snow. That's good because I have to go out later. I'm to the point where I no longer like snow.  :(

Good late morning from the Interior at minus ten and 9:09 am. Jane, we had snow yesterday and expect more early on Thursday, which has and will cover that dangerous ice out there. I can't tell you how many people report falls, slips, and slides and how many fender benders we've had.

Not much is going on here; I did a lot of cleaning again yesterday late afternoon. My house has never been this clean for so long, and I need to find something else to take my frustrations out on.

Amy

We are also getting the snow and lots of it!! The vet appointment went better than thought...Babe has lipoma , not just all over but in clumps. The one I was concerned about is behind her front leg and about 7 inches long and 3 inches wide. I asked if it was cancer and vet said no,just  lipoma (fatty tissue.) Phewwwwwwww

Driving wasn't too bad but must admit I am glad to be home and off the roads. Snow has picked up and I do bellieve 8-9 inches will be looking at us come morning..just hope it is light and fluffy to dance to.

Rick, my putzing was  to prepare vegetables for supper tonight, fill up the wood box in house, go get another load of wood to have here close by and fold some laundry..

Amy, --- Several years ago my son and I went into a hardware store where he knew most of the employees, and they him. On the way out the girl at the checkout off handedly said "what ya been doing?". My son said "Oh just putzin around". The girl responded "I didn't think anyone did that any more."  Funny how some terms just seem  to come and go.

I still putz around and I still describe it that way.  My one daughter says she putzes around but she never does.  She's always accomplishing something.  Sometimes my putzing gets absolutely nothing done and makes me very tired!

I'm off to the haystack now!  Our snow lasted about 2 hours and then turned to rain so there's not a lot of it to deal with.  The roads have been cleared so traffic is moving again.  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Just a quick "Good Morning" to myself and anyone else who shows up.  Our snow didn't amount to a lot.  It's still laying on the grassy areas but the roads are all clear!  Have a good day Everyfriend.  I'm waiting for Cooper's arrival!

Good snowy morning...

Well Jane, we are looking at 10 inches of fluffy snow this morning and it is still coming down. Thankfully it is not the wet snow to move. Talked with David last night around 7 and they had 6 inches of snow at that time, goodness knows what they have now. They are to the south of us and they were to get hit harder.

You know what my job is today, can't go out in my running shoes to do this one. Kyle made me a boot jack to get my winter working boots off as they are a stinker to get off.

Better skedaddle and get to work.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Snow has been cleaned up and shhh it has stopped!!! The sun is shinning.......something we haven't seen in a while.
A pot of pea soup is simmering on the cookstove and custard cooling in the fridge..not sure what else is going to happen.....need to find some energy first.

I'm heading for the haystack soon.  It's been a long, busy day.  Cooper and I took 3 walks today!  And I made a batch of "Jim's Egg Thingys" so breakfast is ready!

I have 3 pints of my chicken rice soup made from the leftovers.  Frankie wants to take one home with her tomorrow and that's good.  I had one for supper tonight so that leaves two.  Anyone want to try it?  This is probably the one and only time this soup will be available because I used up a lot of leftovers to make it and I probably will never have the same leftovers again!

I also have three meat loaf and scalloped potato dinners in the freezer for later.  Th's more of the leftovers from company!

Now I'm getting excited about my new great grandson's birth.  My granddaughter is scheduled for a Ceasarean Section on the 31st.  Please include her in your prayers that everything will go well!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

I almost forgot...the snow is almost all gone from here.  The only part the rain didn't do away with is the part the snow plows made hills of!

Good morning..

Starting out a tad chilly this morning at +7°F. Working around home today, nice there is no new snow to deal with but Sat and Sun may have snow.

Jane, rarely do I follow a recipe for soup. Whatever I have on hand hits the pot.Your sound sounds delicious, you can say one of a kind. :) We have pea soup for today and I had better make raisin bread, Kyle is down to the last little bit on the loaf!!

Patricia, any more new snow your way? Our banks are getting a bit high here and one has to be careful when driving out onto the road or you will get your nose wiped!!

Better get ready to meet the day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe!

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I'm up and attem...had my breakfast and Cooper will be arriving any minute now!

AMY, is the recipe for raisin bread in the recipe folder?  I've been looking at bread recipes for a couple of days now and that's the first one to tempt me.

We were supposed to be getting a bit more snow overnight but it didn't happen.  That makes a happy start for the new day!

I'll be getting a call from Frankie any minute that she's on the way so I'll wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Good morning; another late start for me today. Amy, we had another two inches, which makes four total from the two storms, and I'm not sure what amount, if any, stuck. It's minus 12 and clear with some warming, plus snow and ice due on Saturday.

Nothing new here; the only news with Alan and Dora is they're not getting any worse. Their son has arrived from Iowa.

Amy

Patricia, good to hear that Alan and Dora are not getting worse. When we get up in years it takes us a big longer to get out pins back under us. They are in a good place and close to each other.

Lightly snowing here, and more to come in the next few days..oh boy.
Raisin bread is cooling and will tuck some in the hidy hole...grab your choose of beverage, tea,coffee, milk and enjoy.

I'm here to wish all sweet dreams & God Bless. Tomorrow a cold blast moves in but think it is supposed to hit 51 degrees before that happens. It is winter and we tangle with what ever moves across the country.  No trace of snow around here. :thumbup:

I have been up a while, but I messed up and ate a grape frute Before takeing my vitials, so I wi  have to weight a hour or so to take them, so can get more acuarte readings.

I guess this is "Good Night Everyfriend" and also "Good Morning Everyfriend".  Especially Good Morning to you LLOYD.  You got here first!

I'm up and attem...having my breakfast (one of "Jim's Egg Thingys") while I check in.  Then I'm going to try the raisin bread today.  At least that's the plan in my head for today!  Frankie is off this weekend so no Cooper to keep me company but she did say she might stop over here for a visit!  Sometimes she does and sometimes she gets busy catching up and doesn't make it!  We shal see!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Good morning..

Dancing today, so far 3 more inches and more snow to follow today. Windy, making snow drifts to play with.Laundry will have to wait till the dance is done.

Shirley, I would take your 50° as we are at 23° and I would imagine Patricia is in the minuses.

Lloyd,good to see you.

Jane, to me the best part of the bread is the heel. My friend got me eating the crust,buttered with green onions on it and salt and pepper.  Could make a meal out of that!! Has to be the crust though.

Patricia, I have first dibs on Shirley's 50° :2funny:

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning; the snow promised for today has been moved to a promise on Sunday but only 0.1 inches, if that. We're jumping to plus 30 tomorrow, so with humidity comes snow. We're at plus 13 for now; however, this week and next will bounce between pluses and minuses. Sunday will be hosting a chnook wind and then,

Amy

Snow has been cleaned up but not without problems......I broke not one.......not two.. but three sheer pins. :knuppel2:
 One was an easy fix but the other two(same place) were a stinker to get at. I have no idea how a man with large hands could get in such a tiny space to fix it. The last one was because someone (Jesse) in this family didn't bring the stick of wood in but left it on the path to which the snow covered it up. Oh well tis all good now..

Patricia, we are still in for more snow and on Sunday  also..
 Not sure I can hang my laundry out now with all the snow!

I just gobbled down a Raisin Bread roll made in my large muffin tin.  And the raisins I had were not usable...too old (just like me!)  So I used the fresh dried cranberries.  I guess I didn't eat raisin bread!  I ate Cranberry Muffin.  Whatever it was, it was scrumptious and I'm going back for seconds! 

I have one regular size loaf, two small loaves and 6 muffins!  And if you're lucky (and I feel generous)there will be at least one loaf in the bread box at The Soda Shoppe for you all to try!

Now I'm off to the kitchen for seconds.  Enjoy the rest of your day.

PATRICIA, I have something on my mind besides the weather!

Jane, what a great idea to use craisins!! I may have to try that next time. Sometimes you can give the dried raisins a dip in hot water to bring them back to life :))

P.S. to SHIRLEY...Cindy wants to come up and take me to OKla. again this summer but she says "earlier".  If she does, I'm thinking about asking her to make the trip pass through Wichita around - breakfast, lunch, brunch time.  If it works out, could you recommend a place we could stop and could you join us?  She mentioned April.  Think on it and let me know if it might be a possibility!  Seems a shame to go so close and not get a hug!

AMY, I'm going to try that with the raisins and then just eat them.  They're good for me!

Click for Lewisburg,Pennsylvania Forecast

Shirley

Jane, much as I'd love a hug I don't think I will be around. Not sure how long this phase lasts, I don't see my doctors often 'cause I won't let them do what they want & can't take the meds....so they just ignore me.  Sure not offered the care my mother or Cas' mother got! I was told that Hospice here doesn't do any "physical" care but they can talk or visit, run a load of clothes or go to the store... kinda useless in my opinion!  "You can hire private nurses", I was told. I am trying not to say anything as insulting as I feel about the medical help in this city! This has been a bad day. I do hope you get to visit your kids in OK and will enjoy thinking about seeing you, but reality is setting in. If here I will have something cooked for you to try, that's a promise!

Amy, I used to fix everything like you & enjoyed doing it. Now I'm happy to get through the house without my oxygen hose tangling on something! Need to get a bite to eat & go back to bed.

The temps are going down & wind blowing, thank goodness for storm windows & doors. Sweet dreams to all.

I had another Craisin bun for supper with some honey butter spread on it and a piece of Lebanon Bologna and a piece of cheese in it! UMMMMMMMMM!

Now I'm off to the haystack!  I slept through Perry Mason and I'm ready for the bed under me!  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!
