According to my DH, shoveling out from this storm is as bad as shoveling sh*t. He was raised on a farm, so he knows his sh*t. The snow is wet, heavy and difficult to move. For the past hour he has been out in the yard shoveling as the snow is too heavy for the snow blower. He punctuates his labour with short breaks to bring me the status of the storm. Everything is covered with a thin layer of ice, topped with a thick layer of snow, and we are not out of the woods yet. Parts of the province are without power, and might be so until 6:00 o`clock tonight. The storm will combine with a another storm front tomorrow, so we will have nasty weather until Tuesday.
While my DH is out in the cold, wet, snow I am indoor fondling fabric. I intend to spend the rest of the day sewing, with brief intervals of cooking. Sounds fair to me.
Today`s menu will be made from recipes I found on the web. Chili and southwestern drop biscuits from Yes, we cook! for lunch. Saturday nights` dinner and a movie will be baked egg rolls from Under a Blue and Moon and our all time favourite carrot and pork dumplings from Retorte, and chicken and pork lettuce wraps, thanks again to Yes, we cook!
So if you`re hungry come on over, my DH should have the driveway shoveled by then.
Wow, it’s pretty dry over here.
Should be there in an hour….if you pick me up at the airport.
