It's Here

This has happened in previous years where sub zero temperatures show up in early December.  Do I like it?  No, especially the wind that creates an irritating windchill.  Trust me, there's a big difference between -8 degrees with a 10 mph north wind or -8 degrees with calm conditions.  We actually didn't see zero degrees until around noon, so I wasn't motivated to go outside until then.  I just couldn't make myself go outside for a run, especially with the wind blowing.  I actually kept busy today with my domestic chores.  Sometimes it's good to just have a day at home with no commitments.

 

Bike man certainly knew how to use his time wisely today.  He made his delicious polenta lasagna....two pans, wow.  He also made me a new batch of homemade yogurt! 

 

I promised my mom I would take a photo of this unique lasagna.  Bike man keeps changing his recipe, so it's hard for me to give you exact ingredients or measurements.  I will add a recipe for polenta lasagna to my turtle recipes, but just remember modifications are allowed and encouraged.  We are all about what you have in your pantry or refrigerator at the time of cooking.  When you live 10 miles from town, you just have to make due with what you have on hand.  Anyone that lives out in the countryside like us understands this.  That's a big reason why we like to process our own vegetables, and freeze soups and entrees.

Besides house chores and laundry.....there's the Hallmark channel.  Hey, those sappy movies grow on ya!
