Hope I can get the car doors open.

I also managed to harvest about 10 chile tepins, which the birds were nice enough to plant in the back yard. These are fiery little buggars, and they freeze beautifully until needed. One chile is enough to give heat to a Dutch oven full of food.

I need to go outside, too - and clear 8 inches of snow off the car.

Yikes. It's in the upper 70s here.

Quelle est cette odeur agréable?

I'd imagine anyone living with DR John G. would have occasion to say that often.

Tonight we have agreeable odors, but not from our own hands. Beef tips and roasted chicken from Famous Dave's BBQ.

Well, I got out of school at my usual 2:15pm. It's been very quiet since we seem to have the tech under control with the hybrid learning happening. Next week, we add 2 more morning classes and 1 more afternoon and we will be totally on campus - except for those students who wish to remain home.

Got to Trader Joes for some things for lunch and such. Home now working on more work for tomorrow, hopefully I'll be done soon. I plan to make a dent in the packing this evening, we'll see how that goes. If all goes as planned, I move 2 weeks from Friday. I think it will be fine. As I see things getting done, it's more ambition to get the entire thing done. Purging is healthy.

I had set a goal that I wasn't going to spend more than $5 on a new book this year and that I would read more of my own books. I have largely kept to that. But there were three exceptions: BK's Simply, a volume of Cole Porter letters and a cookbook from my favorite restaurant in Ireland.

I paid $5.95 for the Porter letters. And I found the Avoca Cafe Soups cookbook last night in my insomniac period. Without thinking, I almost bought the book new for $27. Then I saw a used copy for $5.95 that also came with free shipping. I bought the used copy and it arrives on Friday.

I'm really looking forward to getting this. The first Avoca Cafe cookbook I picked up was so good that I made every soup recipe in it, which numbered about 20. I've never done that with another cookbook. There are always recipes that don't interest me or are too tortured to attempt. But these were relatively easy and each one delicious. I've made a half-dozen many times over, which is something else I rarely do.

Tell that to Karen Carpenter.

I know, bad taste. But I couldn't resist.

Hello, everyone.

I tried to watch the KL show "live" on Sunday, but was preoccupied with another food delivery fiasco. How annoying! I'll have to go back to it when life is quieter.

Glad to hear that Vixmom, Vixdad, and most coworkers are OK after all.

Any word from TCB? I hope he's doing OK. Sending him vibes.

Excellent.

I have a little cold, but I trust that's all it is. I cancelled today's hair appointment and am just being a couch potato. I'm feeling better now, but am erring on the side of caution.

The one member who did get it is the one who conducts the closings so he probably got it from a client

May he have a mild case and completely recover.

I am sad to say MR BK that I have not watched the Kritzerland show yet......I am suffering from a malaise that is difficult to shake....probably concerning the increase in COVID cases and the refusal of someone to follow the rules and common sense....

I'm sure I will be fine in a day or two......

I have been suffering from the same problem, due to those same people plus having a clue when I can go to Chicago. I am fortunate to be able to go for long walks the last couple of days. They help.

Hugs and vibes to you.

That was overdue. Several plants were wilting in the sun.

I hope you sleep well tonight.

I am thrilled it was 50 here and somewhat sunny. A wind storm is supposed to blow in tomorrow.

DR George both Peace Talks & Battle Ground are in the Goodreads semifinal round for best fantasy. Which one would you vote for?

Found out that five staff members at our early childhood development center have tested positive for the virus.

Finished with work, all of which was to do with the December Kritzerland - the MD has all but three songs so he can now do tracks, and the singers have mostly got their stuff now.

I had a few chips and taffy candies (not at the same time) to fill out the calorie count to 1000.
