Much milder overnight just below freezing this morning, The snow and ice is melting 43F (6C), so its turning slushy and wet. The snow plow went down the road about 9 am so I took the snow and ice off the car and eventually was able to make my out of the driveway to it and into New Hamburg for a few more food supplies. Roads are at least driveable today.

Once I got out of the driveway after a few runs to get through the snow I followed the snowplow down to Walker road. Then into New Hamburg.

A nice tasty lunch, (love this bean soup) did some reading for a while then for 2 pm into Tavistock to a funeral home visitation for the father of a nice couple we have known for years., Suzie much longer.
Just as we finished lunch Dennis came back from the farm with the tractor to clear the driveway, before it freezes again.

in no time at all he was done, nice to have good equipment
Thanks Dennis ! |
 |
that is better now soon it will all melt
and dry up |
When we got to the funeral home chatted with our friend Jeff (the funeral director) and he reminded me that I had met this man over 20 years ago at an Optimist club dinner function our 2 clubs had gotten together and we exchanged ugly ties! We had a blast. Wow such a small world and while waiting in line for an hour we of course chatted with at least another dozen or so couples that we know and of not knowing they all read our blog as well, so they knew we were back in the area and what we have been doing.
Back home by 3:30 relaxed a bit and read a bit more, then time to whip up supper. Tonight gonna do a ham fried rice with a bunch of veggies. No recipe for stir fries, what ever you have on hand. I just fried up some celery, carrots, fresh mushrooms, onions, broccoli, zucchini, chopped garlic, green onions, lots of leftover ham, in sesame seed oil, 2 eggs, added some ground flax seed, low sodium soya sauce and sesame seeds, in a few minutes it was all stir fried together for a very tasty meal.

| all done in in one pan, quick and easy |

Where have we been this summer?
I have left over ham in the freezer, thinking of doing a kicked up mac n cheese thing with it. I hope all the white stuff will soon be a memory!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a good meal as well, enjoy what ever you make always good leftovers. Mac an cheese you can;t go wrong.
DeleteWhite stuff gone soon would be awesome !
Boy, that looks cold!! It’s so nice and pretty when white and fluffy but not so pretty as slush!! You all stay warm!! Stir fry looks great!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks col d but feel warmer that it was, snow melting is a good them , we saw enough of the pretty white stuff, The stir fry was very tasty.
DeleteSorry for the loss of your friend's father. Nice to meet up with old friends though. Good to see that things are slowing melting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Contessa he lived a good life, Too bd that we have to go to these this to see people again.
DeleteIt is melting very nicely.
Love having ham in the freezer, once a year I get a big one. Never thought of using it in a stir fry, however...hmmm. Glad things are melting a bit, but it still looks really cold.
ReplyDeleteSo much you can do with leftover ham, and it is always so tasty. Should melt pretty quickly now we hope.
DeleteAwesome snow melting. The temp dropped a tad in Phoenix to mid 70's but now creeping back up. We actually hit 101 degrees last week.
ReplyDeleteYes Rita it is wonderful to see it melt, We could use 70 degrees anytime now, sure would be nice, we may get into the 100,s for a few days this summer.
DeleteSorry for the loss of your friend's father.
ReplyDeleteThe stir looks like ours, I just toss in whatever veggies I have, usually chicken as well and now that we are back in Canada I can get bean sprouts too. Always good and hits the spot.
Soon the soupy mess outside will be gone. Looking line sunshine in Ontario for a while now and I can hardly wait for it to catch up with us. I'm so excited. LOL.
Keep your feet dry on those walkabouts!!!
Thanks Deb,
DeleteThats the nice things about stir fries, just throw in whatever you have , always tasty.
Sunshine soon did get mer feet wet yesterday but not so soupy here now. .
That cold weather is a reminder why you like to spend your winters in the south. Glad it's getting better.
ReplyDeleteYes Jan we do look forward to getting away from this weather for the most part.
DeleteKeeping a positive outlook in miserable weather and enjoying good food always helps. In addition you have the family close by to have nice visits and to keep you company.
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure it can always be worse. The tasty food and family around is nice as well.
DeleteI'll try to send you some warmer rain!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, anything warmer would be wonderful!
DeleteYour snowy slush sure makes a mess doesn't it? But hopefully soon it will be nice and dry and warmer for you guys! Stir fry awesome and it uses a bunch of stuff up and always tastes delicious ..
ReplyDeleteIt sutra does make a mess. Soon it will be history. And of course a good meal makes everything better.
DeleteOh that snow is just so plain ugly! Too bad you're not in AZ right now. :c(
ReplyDeleteIt is plain ugly wish we were sill in Arizona!
