Just having a bowl of cornflakes, I might have a go at that tangerine that's been sitting in the bowl since last year, then, I may have a shufty around the back garden and get rid of this wind in my stomach with an almighty fart..... Oh, Happy New Year, folks. 😊

A quick trip to a grocery store. It’ll be busy with folks like me getting last minute items since the stores are closed tomorrow.

Going to attempt once again to make a Bread Pudding just like they served at the Mirage in Vegas. It was Steve Wynn’s mother‘s secret recipe. Even though it was considered poor man’s food, I loved that pudding.

I used to make it all the time. My husband's grandmother made all types of pudding because they had cows and chickens so an excess of milk and eggs. Bread pudding was her best.

There was no fruit in the one I liked. I’ve tried some with raisins - yuck. Just items like eggs, milk, sugar, stale bread and a few spices - basics most folks have in the kitchen. I’ve had the same bottle of bourbon in the cupboard for 10 years. A couple of tablespoons isn’t going to deplete it much.

Just how I made it. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Nothing like making that on my wood cookstove. Mmmm!
 
On my early morning walk around 6:30,temp was 38 went halfway down by street, light wind cloudy
The massive snow drifts are disappearing rapidly
I'll be walking to my church for 1 service at 10:30,this will be the 1st time members have been at church since Dec 22nd, last time it was open before the blizzard closed everything in town
The rest of my day read local paper, talk to my brother, continue writing in my yearly journal
 
Taking down the Christmas decorations...not a lot to do, I usually have great stuff I just yank out and sit around or plug in!

Then making sauerkraut and sausage with mashed potatoes for dinner. Always add sweetener and extra caraway seeds and bake it for a couple hours to sweeten it up a bit.

Have a good one everyone!
 
Well i'd hoped to just play on internet and read today...then the weather report for tonight and tomorrow became intimidating so taking daughter to store this morning, then to work at 2:30pm. She gets off at 8pm now (winter hours cause usually slower) but might stay at motel overnight either tonight &/or tomorrow night. We already have a couple of inches of slushy (daytime) icy (after dark) snow on ground and more predicted.
One issue is that while i can usually dig out--i park at end of drive near road and they plow even the residential roads pretty well. There are always guests that don't, shall we say, think too well. They go to nearby convenience store in middle of night and forget to take key when they are only one in the room. Or they ignore the advice to give the heater time to warm the room--that bumping up it up all the way and leaving it will cause the emergency shutoff to kick on and then the Mgr needs to let them in or reset the heater. Easier when she's on site.

But since i had our general stuff stocked--i don't need to go into stores--so i'll take one of the 3 books she gave me for Christmas and read in the car while she gets her personal stuff. i brought in several days of Firewood on Friday. So once i get her to work i'll be able to relax--just tend the fire as needed, till we see just how much snow we're getting...

I'm late in getting here. We slept in this morning.

So far, I've had my coffee. Andy has come by to say "Happy New Year....and promptly went to the bookcase for a nap. I've looked for (and not found) my recipe for today's dinner. And I've had breakfast. Now it's time for a cuppa, with creamed herring on crackers (for good luck).

I hope all stress and problems are behind you.....may your 2023 be filled with laughter and positive energy! 💖
Happy 2023!
