Brrrr!!

Yesterday was spent freezing cold, today was spent similarly. Temps have been either below zero or single digits with hefty windchills. We've opted to stay inside and work through the leftovers to make room for the bounty that awaits on Thursday. Peapod gave me a present today. I'd ordered a whole eye of round roast because $2.49/lb was as good or better than the Costco price. I got the roast today, and since it was best used by 12/24, they marked it down to $1.49/lb! 5 pounds of roast for $7.50. I am going to grind up the whole thing tomorrow and make sloppy jodi's and meat sauce for lasagna for the freezer, so I don't care so much about the best used by 12/24.

Since we have the gift pies, I'm going to just make the hickory nut cake tomorrow. That we can freeze the leftovers easily, so a taste for Christmas would be appropriate. I have a ton of surprises for my parents and Richard for Christmas -- hopefully everyone is happy for Christmas.

I took it a little easy today, though I still went out and swept away the snow from the other day. Not particularly strenuous work, but it was just bitter cold. Steak sandwiches were on the agenda for today's lunch. Lots of yummy and wonderfulness was had by all.

And the only other news to report is that my jasmine started blooming today :) Yay! I still need to upload pictures of cookies etc, but I'll work on that tomorrow.
