Good morning. Paul Newman is in my mug this morning. I guess that he is my all time favourite for coffee - maybe for men too. (Been meeting a lot of creepy old farts lately!)
We are actually going above freezing today, up to 41ºF in fact. That should melt down some of the snow. I'm hoping to get all the snow and ice off the steps down to the dog yard. Disney can manage but I'm having a problem.
Made split pea soup yesterday with some Canadian bacon. It turned out fine except I put in what I thought was garlic powder and it was garlic salt. Duh! I diluted it with some more salt-free chicken stock and will give it a test for breakfast this morning. I find that freezing sometimes tames saltiness and it is for my freezer stash anyhow.
Gym with Donna this morning, then some cleaning. I will spend the afternoon with Natalie my Mill manager working on budget for a grant application. I'm slowly closing the 2012 books for the Mill. I sure wish people would cash their cheques faster.
Hope everyone has a gentle slope of a day rather than a hump.
