i am cooking a pot of navy beans and watching the temp drop, another cold front coming.

[texanwitch]

Need to bring in more wood for the stove, it will be about 33 tonight.

The plants need to be covered, not many left from the big freeze from last year.

I am am taking today off.

Today is a good netflix and DU day.

So what are ya'll up to.

1. I'm making ham&beans this weekend, myself!

yummy...tonight it's predicted to be -5 here, plus wind chill.

:hi:

[texanwitch]

4. Our temp of 33 doesn't seem so cold now.

I have some ham and a ham bone in the beans.

I never made navy beans before, just lima beans.

A friend gave me the bag of navy beans so I thought I would cook it.

2. It's going to be -15 here in western WI tonight with a wind chill of -25.

My car needs to be covered, but alas, it must sleep on the street.

[texanwitch]

6. Just ready your post makes me cold.

My truck lives under a carport.

The carport is cover about halfway down, helps with the rain.

Stay warm.

3. it's a laundry and cooking day for me

we only have a laundry room in our apartment building, so i usually spend a day a month at my dad's getting caught up on all the wash. i've got a pot of beans going for my husband's birthday chili (i know, beans in chili might get me labeled a blasphemer) while i wade through the laundry and get caught up on the iron chef episodes on the dvr.

i get to curl up next to the wood stove, hang out with our little pride and eat my dad's food. it's a nice day, even if i have to fold laundry.

7. Beans in chili would get you in trouble in Texas.

I will eat chili with or without beans as long as it is good.

I need to do laundry myself, the cart is full.

Have fun with your Dad, give him a hug for me.

5. Defrosting a turkey I bought before Thanksgiving for just this occasion...

Going to be around 8 degrees tonight, going up to maybe 16 for the high on Friday, with 6" os snot by morning...Cold all weekend, more snow Tuesday. We did necessary shopping this afternoon, no plans to even leave the house till Saturday at least.

Have a great time!

9. I have a two 13 lb. turkeys in the freezer, bought three during the holidays

I like having a turkey or two for the rest of the year.

Need a good turkey fry, soon.

All of y'all have cold temps, so warm.

[old mark]

11. I bought 3 of them, too..around 80 cents a pound....Hard to let that go by...

Enjoy your day...Hell, enjoy the whole weekend!

15. I worked Monday so I have Friday off.

I wish it wasn't so hard to find turkeys except on the holidays.

Thirteen pound turkey are a good size to deep fry, not to big.

A weekend with the wood stove is good for me.

Have a good weekend yourself.

[texanwitch]

16. Just noticed, I bought two turkeys at Thanksgiving, and one at Christmas.

That makes three.

Wish I would have bought one more.

I love deep fried turkey.

[old mark]

19. My BIL inTexas likes to make it that way, too....You guys fry everything!

Enjoy .

[texanwitch]

20. Yes we do.

Once you have fried turkey, nothing else will do.

[Inchworm]

8. I have a stew planned for that day

It has been hovering around 32 here for the past couple days and I'm waiting for teens.

Nothing like a good soup/stew and some Netflix :)

:hi:

[texanwitch]

10. I am still eating my veg soup I made on Tuesday, a big pot.

It turned out really well, the best yet.

I added parsley flakes, cooked the soup slow all day.

I added some left over Mexican style bbq chicken and rice yesterday, good.

Next I will make stew.

Netflix is good anyday.

[tigereye]

24. yesterday I had leftover lentil chicken soup I had made

last week during yet another snow storm!

[Riftaxe]

12. those would go well with

the "Naval" Oranges they were selling at the local grocery store...I presume they meant navel but messed up the sign :P

[muffin1]

13. I'm doing that tomorrow!

Navy beans and ham. Yum! I made a cajun 15 bean with sausage soup last weekend. Nothing like a big bowl o' soup when it's freezing outside. :)

I hope you enjoyed your cozy day!

[texanwitch]

14. I needed today.

I do like winter, the wood stove is really nice.

I like the sound and smell.

[WolverineDG]

17. Cooked up a pot of pinto beans & made bread the other day

perfect for cold nights like this. Stay warm!

18. Just came in from covering the plants, should of done it sooner.

Cold and windy.

The wind chill is really kicking in.

Time now for more veg soup and cornbread.

[MilesColtrane]

21. I love navy beans, but they don't love me.

They gave gout last time I cooked up a big pot.

Dammit, I'm not fat, rich, and elitist enough to be getting gout!

[texanwitch]

22. I have never ate navy beans before, but have a big sack of them.

They came out OK, not lima beans but close.

[tigereye]

23. shoveled 6 inches of snow, drove kid to school, had lunch

with my sweetie. It's very cold out there! Have to pick up kid from school then.


Tomorrow- mah jongg, and Sunday- Steeler game!
