Quiet Kitchen Capers ~ Garlic-Honey Glazed Carrots
The house needed to be quiet yesterday, but dinner needed prepped too. I spent my hours in the kitchen (making more dirty dishes, ha ha!)
First up?
Homemade sausage patties, for breakfast sandwiches for the next few days. I used 1 lb. for Sunday breakfast, and saved the other pound for patties.
Next up?

Snow ~ Cold Temps ~ Random Tidbits
Saturday Hubby and I tackled the 2nd felled tree we left sit (bad decision). It was frozen to the ground, but we managed to free up enough to fill the back of the pick up.
The only downside, I woke up Sunday with a rash on the backs of my calves, and I can't figure out if those limbs had poison ivy or not. I was covered up fairly good, so I hope it's not. I had jeans, work boots, long carhartts, a carhartt coat, short cowl, hat, work gloves etc. The best I figure, it that it's a "heat" rash from all those layers. I don't have any poison ivy cream, so I first tried chickweed salve. It took the itch out, but didn't seem to help dry it up. Today, I applied a heavy layer of calendula cream on. Time will tell.
I don't give up that easy either. I have back up ideas in line if that cream doesn't do anything - dandelion poultices, organic aloe vera gel, etc.
