The predicted "freeze" is coming soon. I, although my husband said not to until he was home, went out to shovel some of the deep snow in the drive. Thankfully, the nephews showed up and plowed the entire drive.
Hubby made fun of my BPA free, food grade water jugs. They hold 7 gallons each. They will be filled and ready if our pipes freeze. Our wind chill is said to feel like -25°F so I will write a list and make sure all the laundry is done, water is available for animals/us, all the dishes done, etc. I am already with oil lamps, oil, and extra wicking. Wood is split and on the porch, but we'll split more before this coming Friday.
I threw together a crock pot soup with items that needed used up and some leftover ham. It was nice to have a hot soup after shoveling. I made skillet bread to go with it.

ReplyDeleteOhhhh whatever is in the cast iron looks delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteYuck! I hope they are wrong like usual. But I will get out to the store we've got enough supplies ( no hoarding) Make some bread, maybe croissant kind, and food which warms the soul. A nice pot of chilli and corn bread, or stuffed cabbage. Stay warm. Our oil lamp is ready too.
ReplyDeleteYou sound prepared for the freeze, here's hoping the pipes don't freeze and you stay cosy. I have heard of skillet bread but never tasted it, one of these days I will give it a go.
ReplyDeleteM. Myers, I'll look up the location of the bread recipe and share it. It is very good bread.
ReplyDeleteRocksPilesAndCaterpillars, the skillet bread is so good and goes very fast in this house. Will be posting the link or location for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteFaith, I love the water jugs I bought for extra water. I too, am hoping they are wrong.
ReplyDeletemamasmercantile, the bread is very good. Softer than most I make too.
