lblanchardThis is the third day of our rainy Nor'easter, and I'm ready for a glimpse of the sun. We almost had one a couple of hours ago --there were some weak shadows -- but it passed quickly and now it's raining again. It's a toasty 57 degrees in my office. I'm surprised I don't feel chilly, even with a fleece shawl and lap-robe.
There's almost three inches of water in a bucket I left out back. Good thing it's not fifteen degrees colder or there would be 30" of snow to be shoveled.
Today has been a Great Day of Stew Beef. This morning Roy cubed, floured, and browned more than seven pounds of beef roast that had been in the freezer for about as long as it ought to. I've turned half of it into a very rich stew that we will have over rice today, with potatoes tomorrow, and the balance frozen for lunches. The other half is becoming a rich soup/stew hybrid with hulled barley and other vegeteables. It too will become many many frozen lunches.
It's a wonderful dark damp day for a nap. Instead, I think I'll make another pot of coffee.
