Good 13 freekin' degrees morning. Still no water. Still frozen
pipes. Soooooo tired of this. Cranky. Very cranky! I'm not going to be able to
go to the Law Enforcement/Fire Christmas dinner tomorrow... with these freezing
temps, driving at night, in the dark, with icy roads is not a choice.
Sigh.....
Soapbox:
Honda has Michael Bolton singing in all their ads right now. I can't stand
his voice... sounds like someone just kicked him in the butt! High pitched and
like scratchin' on a blackboard! UGH!!!! Thank goodness for the MUTE
button!
This is sooooooooo what happens here between Bruiser and Dude... sent by
Ike Saben. Thanks for the smiles and laughs Ike!
Speaking of cats... here's Bruiser cruising the top of the fence and near
the bird feeder in hopes of prey....
Icicles on the finch feeder...
.... and the Dude laying in the sun... 20º out there.
Historically this date....
And
births this date include...
....drafted into the Army during Korea but was fanatical against
the Viet Nam war to the point of leaving the country! A Texan, a Methodist,
and a Democrat. Odd.
What a
waste yesterday was, and probably today as well. No water so had to go to
neighbors to fill up containers. Thank you Frank and Cindy... also, thanks for the shooter of 'Apple Pie' liquor!( http://www.food.com/recipe/homemade-apple-pie-liquor-235381 )
So tired of this. If I wanted this type of weather I'd have moved to Alaska, N. Dakota, Montana, or somewhere icky like that. Wine wine wine.... THAT's RIGHT! To heck with the wine with the 'h' in it!!!

National Lager Day
National Lager Day
Most of
what we regard as American beer is what is known as lager, a cold brewed and
stored beer that is light in flavor as well as color.
So....
how about Onion Soup made with lager!
1/3 cup butter
10 onions, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
12 ounces lager (can or bottle)
1 quart beef broth
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
6 slices French bread, toasted
3 cups shredded gruyere cheese
In a large saucepan over medium
heat, melt butter. Stir and cook onions in butter until golden brown, 15
minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute. Pour in the beer and beef broth and season with mustard, thyme, black pepper and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425º
Remove bay leaf from soup and ladle soup into a large casserole or individual ovenproof bowls, leaving about 1 inch of room at the top of the dish or dishes. Float slices of toasted bread on the soup and pile generously with Gruyere.
Bake in preheated oven 10 minutes, until cheese is lightly browned and bubbly.
