We have a wind chill advisory until 10am today - below zero. I woke to find the wood stove cold. Not cool. Kids are to load that up before they retire at midnight (most of them stay up that late). Last night? No one loaded it. My fault for not checking. I'm sure the barn door will be froze shut (again). Just another daily chore before thawing the chicken water and the goat water today, ha ha!
If you are wondering, my nail polish has been removed. Scrubbing vegetables kind of nixed that, but today, I may be putting some back on (one last time). I'm enjoying being back to cooking/baking and feeling back to myself (almost).
I roasted a spaghetti squash. I'm not sure what I'm making just yet, but have a few ideas.
I'm down to the last 9-10 rows of the baby blanket, then it's edging and it's done. If I have time, and can find a quick pattern (if you have one, please share if it's safe to download or copy)for a new born beanie, I'll make one too. I would like to toss one into the box before shipping, as an added surprise. I love fun mail, so I do like to share it when I can.
I have books in at the library, but no vehicle to go get them. Vet-Tech daughter's car pooped out, and needs worked on today. She has been driving my car all week long. The truck is still full of split wood, so we'll be emptying that out and restocking the supply today. If the truck is available, I just may get my books today. Yay!
Before I got sick, my supply of cornmeal was low, and the company we buy from was out of stock. I typically buy a bunch while we are down in Amish country, as they have a health store that is pretty large and contains many supplies I use. Road trip? Possibly, but not this month. The health store, and online stores, are the only place to buy organic/non-gmo cornmeal, and other good supplies. I'm getting low on our good meat too. I better take notes on how much to stock up next winter.
Hubby is making breakfast, before he leaves to work on the car. Yum! Have a wonderful, prosperous and fun Saturday!

A great source of free patterns! Just don't get lost! I could spend hours at knittingpatterncentral.com
So happy to see you are finally feeling better. As someone who often has to refuse medication (cure worse than the illness) due to reactions, I must say what happened to you is frightening!

I'm trying to think, don't you have some onions dehydrated? If so, you can re-hydrate those.
Here in SOUTH central NC, we have about 2-3" of snow over a layer of ice, and it's suppose to get down to maybe -2 tonight. Neither of us went to work this weekend. Just couldn't get there, so we'll be tightening our belt the rest of the month to meet finances. Still, we were raised up in NW PA and were taught, "If you can't walk on it, you can't drive on it either" and we don't.
Prayers everyone has plenty of heat and food to get through this, especially the elderly and disabled, and of course, stray beasties too.
God bless.
