I love the sunny cold days of winter, but I don't like them lasting so long and especially when there is a little breeze along with the cold...
I don't like to go outside!!.Looking at a little warmer temps this week and maybe snow by the weekend, after all it is winter!
So much for the weather report, not much happening on Barton Heights, just trying to keep warm...I stoke the wood fire, first thing in the morning, when I get up and Rusty keeps it going the rest of the day and fills it full, when he leaves in the evening...Also the oil furnace kicks on when needed.
I'm trying to get myself in the mood to make jam/jelly...I have all the ingredients, just have to get everything up from the basement to start the process...Frozen fruit, jars, new lids, big cooking pot...But first I have to clear off the utility room counters, making a place to assemble everything...I don't think Sunday is a good day to start and tomorrow Connie will be here to clean and and???Maybe Tuesday will be the day!
Over a year ago, I lost my sourdough start, left it in the fridge too long and now i'm wanting to make bread, using the sourdough instead of yeast...So I kept potato water last week, added a few grains of yeast, then a small amount of flour and it is now bubbled up and running all over the kitchen counter...UHH that's an exaggeration...It is bubbling nicely and I will test it today on a batch of buns for our Ruben sandwiches for dinner...Wish me luck!...Hugs To All....OWAV:)
Food from last week!..
