Another blue blanket

 I finished the blanket that was in my work basket. 

I needed a new project to put in my work basket. 

I fussed and fussed with a new pattern to begin a new project...it was colored hearts...it looked better on paper than it did in reality. The back of that project was so messy looking I would never give it to anyone.  So I frogged it ( ripped it apart).

It is cold here again. 

Minnesota weather: High 18F or -8C  Low was 13F or -11C eh!  We have a wind/blowing snow/ice advisory for Tuesday morning.

Egg Coffee

 Egg Coffee is a Scandinavian thing... it is Church Basement Coffee.

Egg Coffee

Boil 9 cups of water in a coffee pot on top of the stove.  In a bowl mix an entire egg (Yes you can use the shell too if you wish) into 3/4 cup of coffee grounds with 1/4 cup of water.  Drop the egg and coffee mixture into the pot and let is simmer a bit then add a cup of cold water to help settle the grounds a bit, use a coffee strainer to strain into a cup and enjoy!

Most likely the best coffee ever!  Our neighbor Arvilla made egg coffee all the time.

Sad News

 My sister's husband Dean died yesterday while shoveling snow/ helping to get a car unstuck. Please pray for the family.  Sudden unexpected deaths are just hard to accept.

A first

 I enjoyed a first.  I know everyone has most likely done this before.

I do not drink coffee.  However I do drink hot chocolate!  The Eye Doctor that we go to has a Starbucks machine...who knew. 

The hot chocolate was really good.  Yes there is a Starbucks in town but I have never been there...who needs one when you can just go to the eye Doctor!

Now if Starbucks had good old egg coffee I might be tempted to go there.  I gave up coffee when my blood pressure when out of whack and to avoid the medications... it worked for a few years until it didn't.

More snow

 We had more snow overnight on Wednesday and into Thursday...about 10 inches total.   The roads are fair for driving conditions on snowy icy roads.  A few days of sunshine will help melt the roads. 

I took Far Guy to his Infusion appointment, I waited in the parking lot while Far Guy had his infusion.

I am feeling less pain after my back injection...fingers and toes crossed that it will be helpful for a while.


Suppers lately...hamburgers and French fries, chicken and wild rice soup with Gluten Free Red Lobster Biscuits and tonight is tacos and Far Guy's dip:)

I watched Song Sung Blue on Peacock TV and really enjoyed it...in fact I may watch it again.

Friday is a day off of medical appointments!!
