Storm day

The weather man predicted a heavy snow fall, followed by freezing rain, turning into rain type of day for today.  So rather than drive  for an hour and a half during rush hour traffic, I decided to take a vacation day and drove home last night.

In anticipation of the storm, the schools in Saint John are closed and the radio announcers are suggesting drivers don’t take to the roads, unless they absolutely have to.

Today I’m hunkering down and cooking up a storm.   On the menu for supper is roast chicken à la Jamie Oliver.  With a side of Eco Spuds from Timber River Echo farm.   Purchased at our local Sobeys, these potatoes have an incredible taste, with no trace of fertilizer.

A loaf of Oatmeal and Fruit bread is in the bread machine.  I start most of my breads in the machine using the dough cycle.    Later today I’ll put on a batch of whole wheat bread.

A batch of “what the heck soup” is bubbling on the stove.   DH is puttering down stairs in his work shop, kitty is asleep in the middle of the kitchen…………all is well in my world………..and that’s not a bad way to spend a storm day.
