Good 19º morning. Come on... where is that global warming???
This is ridiculous. I WILL order a heated toilet seat. Maybe that will be the catalyst to stop this frigid weather!
My hummingbird feeders were frozen and had to be thawed.
I am having coffee in my new Mickey coffee cup this morning. A gift from Brian and Jen... I LIKE it! It's BIG and holds a LOT of coffee!! :o)
Nothing to see out there this morning. Just frozen everything and fog!
Yesterday I took the following... the first one at 1:30pm, the second at 5pm .. and the third at 5:30pm.....

You might find this funny ... this was posted on FaceBook

"Dear Egyptian rioters, please don't damage the pyramids.
We will not build them again.
Thank you."

The following from my friend Judy:
Oh I hate to part with this! I've had lots of fun dinner parties over the years using my parents' former dining table and chairs. Now must sell this late 1930'/early 40's Duncan Phyff style dining table w/5 matching chairs and one matching captains chair (6 in total). Includes 4 leaves and custom made pads that are adjustable to fit any number of leaves added to basic table. Fully extended it will seat up to 12. Excellent condition. Seat covers are traditional British tapestry.
Price: $1100.00 OBO

Lunch yesterday was really good. I took the leftover chicken noodle soup, added more carrots and more broth, the leftover rice from the Chinese restaurant and the orange chicken, and some sliced up stuffed green olives, rosemary sea salt and some lemon sea salt. Yummmmy!
The sun came and went all day. Rained in between. Not enough to measure.
Historically this date...

So, then I Googled "carrot pomegranate salad" and found this:
This one sounds Greek. I will make it. Hmmm... probably make both
to see which one I like best. Now to find some pomegranates!
Carrot and yogurt salad with pomegranate
2 garlic cloves
350g thick natural yogurt
Squeeze lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
3 decent-sized carrots, approx 500g
1 pomegranate
25g bunch mint
350g thick natural yogurt
Squeeze lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
3 decent-sized carrots, approx 500g
1 pomegranate
25g bunch mint
Peel and chop the garlic. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and crush to a paste. Stir the garlic into the yogurt in a mixing bowl. Beat in the lemon juice and olive oil. Grate the carrots on the large hole of the grater. To loosen the pomegranate seeds, roll the fruit on a hard surface a couple of times, pressing down with the heel of your hand. Cut the fruit in half and either bang one half of the fruit against the side of the bowl or use a teaspoon to remove the seeds, discarding white pith and skin. Shred the mint leaves. Stir carrot, mint and pomegranate into the yogurt. Mix thoroughly, then transfer to a platter. Serves 4

GREAT joke. Thank you for posting.
Since it sounds like you could use it, warmest wishes from Southern California.
Thanks L! I sure could use some warm weather. The sun is out, finally, but it's still 34*. xo
Hello up there in Oregon! I want to thank you for your wonderful blog.....the Rachel Ray recipe for waffle brownies was a super neat idea. These cooks/chefs, certainly think outside the box! I am sending the idea to my Daughter. She will like it, I am sure, for the boys. A great idea.
It has been about 65 degrees here (daytime) and with the wind chill factor, probably 64. Ha! I put in my 1st tomato plant. I wrapped some thick clear plastic around the cage to protect it alittle from the cooler weather at night. I have never down this before. It is open at the top, so it won't get to damp inside and kill the plant. So far, so good. I have never put a plant in the ground so early. Usually in April. They are for sale at Home Depot, so if they are outside there, they are ready for planting.
Stay warm and cozy.
