Mince Pies

Today, Dwight made excellent mince pies. Crust from scratch, filling courtesy of Messrs Crosse and Blackwell.

Downsizing today. I was attaching the sign when a lady asked if she could have the tree. We loaded her car, giggling.

First “real” snowfall of the season, and still snowing. Didn’t have to drive–I’m in life phase 3–but did shovel.

Garlic carrots on coffee beans currently slow-cooking in the oven. Lynne, I’m trusting you. #splendidtable

Upgraded a tablet to KitKat (a breeze) and a desktop to Windows 8.1 (printer was a challenge).

Foraged for essential ingredient for the holidays at Lunds, Uptown. Pie crust will be from scratch–thanks, Dwight.

Cooking with wine today; some of it will even end up in the food. (Thank you, Julia Child.)

I’ve been meaning to do this for years.

Weeding shelves today. These are keepers–had them 40 years, Still computer science bedrock, still taught in college.

Upgraded my image, with a nudge from Dwight. Threw out all my worn tee shirts and ordered tee shirts made in the USA.
