 So playing the trombone wasn't getting me in enough trouble? |

| This morning we woke up to more snow, but it didn't accumulate on the north-facing front surfaces. We had warm, above-freezing temperatures once the sun came up. There wasn't much to shovel, even in the backyard, which faces south. I did have to clean the slushy snow back there, since temps are predicted to plunge tonight. We're getting another Arctic blast blowing in from Canada. These Arctic blasts are about the only thing I wish Canada would keep to itself. And on top of that, there's a forecast for more snow this evening, with a rock solid prediction of a coating to fifty feet. For whatever reason, I feel the need to bake a loaf of bread! I'm thinking either a Cinnamon Swirl Raisin Bread, a Rustic Pepperoni Pecorino Bread, or a Sweet Onion Foccaccia. Of course, to do that, I need to prep the proofing oven thing that I bought and never used. And to get my act moving early so that the process has a chance of completing before midnight. Another detail is that I need to visit the grocery for some ingredients. So I think bread-making is off the table for today, at least. I have a couple of reviews to do, one for "Rach's Reading Club"  and another for "Anniversary Reviews" , I reread one of my favorite authors, Patrick O'Brian, and now I'm a bit hooked again, and may have to reread the whole series of Aubrey/Maturin adventures. I was trying to listen to another favorite of mine, Isaac Asimov, on Audible, but it wasn't working out well. Either I got wrapped up in listening and forgot to complete the manual task, or I focused too hard on the task and lost the story's context. Audible might work better for me in the Spring and Summer, when I'm doing repetitive work in the garden. Come to think of it, it might work while I'm bread-making. Oh, a warning: Audible isn't good when you're tenderizing meat. Getting distracted while using that thing with multiple sharp, pointy blades is detrimental to your fingers. |
