Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario,
Canada.
It was
good to see the sun shining this morning making it almost tempting to go
outside but when you watched the top of the trees bending way over and in the
next instance watch carelessly disposed of trash blowing by you knew it would
be an “Iffy” outdoor type of day. The Weather Network was again using
the term Polar Vortex this morning and cautioning against colder than
normal temperatures for this time of year.
After getting
our reading finished early this morning Kathy started pulling things from the
fridge with the thought of recreating them before they could spoil. Once it was
determined what we were creating she got me busy chopping vegetables and meat
that would find their way into a nice Split Pea Soup while she made our lunch.
That was when Kathy started noticing a shortage of supplies needed to complete some
of the other task. Armed with a list I was soon on my way to the nearby grocery
store but ran into Dan the Building Manager where we exchanged views
about yesterday’s potential tenant. He felt the same as Kathy and I had felt
from the man’s reaction but he told me of another tenant wanting to relocate
within the building.
At Metro grocery store it didn’t take long to get
nearly everything needed on the list except the most important item of all. Due
to the high winds I’d used the car and it was a good thing because now I had to
drive over a mile to the Zehrs on
Manning Road just to get the split peas. Someone must have been looking down on
me thinking I needed a break because when I found the split peas they were on
two for the price of one so we’ll be making more soup in the future. Kathy had
finished her other cooking, washed the dishes and had started doing some baking
all while I was gone. It didn’t take long to finish the last of the baking
which included a Lemon Meringue and Pumpkin pies before she started cooking
supper.
Now the
fridge is full and we only have to heat our meals for the next few days so if
we get involved in a project we don’t have to cook a big meal. Tomorrow should
be one of those days. The wind is still blowing and the forecast is calling for
possible flurries through tomorrow. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe
and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

What's
the definition of a will?
It's a dead giveaway.
You two make me feel lazy. The only thing I cook at home these days are Lean Cuisines. It's paid off in some weight loss, but it's just not fun cooking for one person. I hope you won't mind if I put a very easy, but delicious recipe in your comments (feel free not to post). When we had the business Rich would run to the post office and this would be almost ready by the time he returned and he was always surprised and happy when he walked through the door. It stays moist and is heart healthy and such easy clean up!
