Winter Notes. Thursday, November 9th and it's trying to snow here in Maine.


 Something a bit weird.....

I did FINALLY make another pot of the NYT's Soup I wrote about a few weeks ago or last week- Time is moving in a strange way right now (backwards, forward and not at all).....  Different Soup as I had more vegetables this time and some Broccoli Rabe...bitter greens which added another note to the soup.... I spilled some on the stove and then got to scrub and scrub and clean the two dirty (oh so dirty) front burners.

My plan going forward is to buy a NEW stove....I know...WILD and CRAZY!!!!  Rather than clean it. 

Now I am laughing..........

The Cyber Optics Installer was SO adorable....I can say that without shame as I am Very Very Old- Grandmother Old. He has also just moved here from California so he and son had the same thoughts regarding the cold and snow this morning (now slush and wet puddles)...son is wearing his father's Bean Boots but needs new shoe strings.  The installer "made sure" not to disturb the aluminum foil tent I have on top of the router from Comcast. To help it work.( it does!!!) And son still had a signal when I reheated my coffee in the microwave- that usually shut things DOWN.  Run on same bandwidth, who knew ???? Not me.

We are getting a new microwave. (Sigh)

I watched a few more Hallmark Christmas Movies- they have them running ALL DAY so grab a nice cozy blanket, make a cup of hot chocolate and if Dee had gone forward with Hallmark Bingo Cards (would have been HUGE BEST SELLER) you could have added buttons to "meet cute". "hot chocolate". "snow storm driving delays". "buying a Christmas Tree" etc etc.  Oh and the ever-present "Misunderstanding...."
