My custard pie from such an easy recipe! |
Friday 1/19. The snow has frozen again, so the dogs can walk and run over the top of it leaving barely an inch indentation.
Just a nice quiet day on the mountain.
Saturday 1/20. It was 28 and mostly cloudy with a brisk breeze this morning that blew all day.
JB used the tractor to move some snow from where we park MAX and Miss Kitty, and level it off. I knew I had to get some sorting and throwing done, so I started with one of my desk drawers. Where in the world did half this crap come from?!
I was looking through one of my cookbooks and found a recipe we like but I haven't made for years. It takes a while and uses two pots, a frying pan, a large bowl and a casserole dish, but it is worth the effort.
Ominous-looking black clouds were coming in from the southwest late this afternoon. Our high for the day was 34.
Sunday 1/21. It was 30 this morning and started snowing heavily a little before 7:00 am. By 11:00 am we had received an inch. Snow kept falling off and on all day, but we barely got another 1/4". Then about 4:00 pm, heavy snow moved in again, so we will see what the morning brings.
I found an incredibly easy recipe for custard pie in an old cookbook I had found at the thrift shop. I love custard! I could eat it every day and not tire of it. So I made the pie and it turned out great. All ingredients are mixed in a blender, which includes Bisquick. Turns out the Bisquick settles to the bottom and sides, creating a lovely crust. I'm quite sure I will be making this often.
Another quiet, inside day, with a high of 34.
Monday 1/22. This morning the temperature is 29 with partly cloudy skies and a breeze gusting to 10 mph. Less than 1/4" of new snow.
Thought for the day: Go forth under the open sky and listen to Nature's teachings. William Cullen Bryant
