Good morning, to everyone. It is sunny but still cold, it will warm up in the 70's this afternoon. We will be going out to get my husband's new glasses. They over tinted them and had to redo them. It takes over a week to have glasses made.

@hollydolly , please take caution driving in the rain. I hope all goes well for you today.

Have a good day, everyone. :)
 

First overnight frost here. I'm glad we had a new boiler fitter earlier this year. I wouldn't want to be without central heating and hot water.
Mrs. L has bought a large quantity of small onions to pickle, but we have to go and get more vinegar. We've also been making batches of pies, but couldn't get pig kidney for the streak and kidney, so it will be steak and vege pies.
My mother used lamb kidneys, iirc.
 
Rainy day here, as well. Or perhaps I should say rainy week — the forecast for 6 of the next 8 days include a strong chances of rain. Instead of Sunny Southern California 😎 I'll be coming to you from Soggy Southern California. ☔

Making and freezing double batches of cookie dough each day is working out well. Only takes a couple of hours each day from setting up mise en place through kitchen cleanup. I wouldn't classify myself as having a bad back, but it does start complaining after more than a few uninterrupted hours on my feet.

Hope you make today a good one, peeps.

Left @StarSong While you are getting soaked (upper left,) we only have had a drizzle so far (to the right of the center.)
Right: But keep in mind that a wild fire is still burning at this moment to the East of the Sierra Nevada Mountains (The Pack Fire in California.)

In 1990 the whole family participated in the general audience of Pope John Paul. In 2010 my wife and I did so with Pope Benedict, and in 2015 with Pope Francis. Now my 18 years younger wife is in Italy to be in the general audience with Pope Leo XIV next Wednesday. In the meantime, my older daughter takes care of me, and spoils me with candies and baked salmon. I already ate one piece for breakfast, and it was sooo delicious.
