Things here on the flatland are pretty good this morning. The weatherman is predicting that we are supposed to be getting closer to seasonal temps, which means that some of this might actually melt...

So, I'm not sure if my friends south of the border have heard, but as of Friday, we are being sent to the polls AGAIN! The joys of electing a minority goverment repeatedly. Gah! One thing I have to say I like about Canadian elections though... There are very specific limitations on how long the campaign actually lasts (36 days). I just hope that we get a clear majority this time, so that maybe the government can get something done and we don't have to do this again for another four or five years.

Remember how I mentioned yesterday that I was going to be baking some buns to go with dinner? I have a great recipe for dinner rolls that I love. But please keep in mind that my baking skills are less than stellar. On a whim I decided to substitute whole wheat flour for the all-purpose that the recipe called for. Um... yeah... can we say bad idea? They turned into hockey pucks. Oh well, lesson learned. Have you had any kitchen flubs recently?

Ginny has turned into a drool monster! It's like someone has turned on a faucet or something. It looks like teething is just around the corner. What's really funny is that my Beloved gets seriously grossed out by it. It's hilarious!

I think I'm going to bake some chocolate chip cookies today. Or maybe a cinnamon loaf. Or maybe both. Hmmmm...

I'm going to be making a pork roast tomorrow for dinner. I'm looking for something different than my usual... do any of you have a suggestion?
What I want to know is where is the sun?! It has been over a week since we have seen it here! I don't mind the snow, as long as there is sun to go along with it.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, off to the polls again. Perfect for my Social Studies class. We will talk political parties and campaigning and voting....it will be great! :)
Now I want some choc chip cookies!
Man, I could not resist either kicking or hitting those gynormous icicles with a baseball bat! Icicles don't last long around me :)
ReplyDeleteI recently saw a recipe for chocolate chip cookies with an Oreo inside. I can't remember where but if I find it again I will send it your way.
It's crazy to think it's still so cold. We are cold at night but the days are halfway decent in warmth...
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting tired of the temperatures swinging back and forth wildly.
ReplyDeletebrrr... those pics make me cold just looking at them!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your biscuits. I just don't bake period. That's the hubby's job! LOL!
