Now I understand what that means, and we were only cooped up inside for six hours or so on Saturday. What a nasty day! I did, however, manage to get outside and take some pictures of all the ice<\/a>. Leah likes this one<\/p>\n

One thing the bad weather was good for was messing around in the kitchen. I’d roasted a couple chickens on Friday evening, and after deboning them Saturday morning, I threw the bones ‘n stuff into a pot with some herbs and spices and made some stock for soup, which we had for dinner (along with some homemade croutons<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Ava created a whole pile of new watercolor pictures, including one that features a set of rambling deer tracks all along the edge of the page. I’ll get those scanned and online this evening. Thank God for crafts on rainy, gray days.<\/p>\n

Yesterday was nice, but friggin’ cold<\/em>. I suppose we may as well get used to it. I took advantage of the inside time again to caramelize some onions and make pizzas for dinner. I had my food processor out and ready to go to knead the dough, but at the last minute, I just threw the dough on the counter top and kneaded it by hand. Man, that’s a satisfying feeling. I think I’m going to knead by hand from now on, or at least until I’m crippled with arthritis.<\/p>\n

Ironically, I wasn’t super pleased with how the pizzas turned out, but I was probably being overly critical. Ava ate two or three pieces of the one I made for her, which is a pretty good seal of approval. It had black olives, ham, and fresh mozzarella. The one I made for Leah had olive oil, salt, caramelized onion, diced tomato, and fresh mozzarella. I think it was the prettier of the two:<\/p>\n

As I typed this, the friendly mail room guy dropped off the replacement PSU for my Infrant. Add that to my list of things to do this evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
