I just checked out my basement window and yes winter is still hanging around as is my cold. Yesterday we walked downtown in the snow, a little slippery but we made it there and back without incident. The reason for our venturing out was for haircuts and we were both pleased with the results so that is a positive thing. Made a Kraft stuffed shells recipe also yesterday, had made it before (Christmas Eve) still working on it to get the exact taste I like, used sweet Italian sausage yesterday,tasted too much like sausage which is one of the tastes I usually like, think I would like the spicier (hotter) sausage better or perhaps add some spinach, anyway its a good winter project and I really like the recipe idea, can be made ahead and the amounts adjusted to suit the diners. My knitting is progressing well so that project is also doing well.So while the weather refuses to return to what is rumored to be normal for this area, everything else is good. One shouldn't ask for more.................
