And, I could never ever say "no" to Betula! I love the notion of the "evolving stew". It sounds nutritious and easy - my kind of cooking!<br /><br />2' of snow is a lot. We had a storm like that a couple of weeks ago, and it was followed by huge winds of around 50 mph, producing bottomless drifts. It warmed my heart that a local who usually charges for plowing driveways went around knocking on doors of people whose driveways looked impassable, offering to plow them for free. I am told that he and his buddy did about 50 driveways for free that day. It makes me believe in the human spirit to know someone like that!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-7447962650607500332016-02-12T19:40:56.894-05:002016-02-12T19:40:56.894-05:00You just described the rhythm of my life these day...You just described the rhythm of my life these days ;)Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-74744051711308010312016-02-12T09:07:47.018-05:002016-02-12T09:07:47.018-05:00Wonderful flow of photos: something cold, somethin...Wonderful flow of photos: something cold, something warm.

Betula actually looks like you DID just tell her you ate all the peanuts. That is quite a look, and I'm sure you hugged them all tight when they settled in for the past snowy evenings. Good plan with your stews made ahead. They look yummy and doubly so for a cold winter night. Glad you have someone to clear your driveway. I'm wondering what's so bad about it. No snow here, but it's dropped down to -15C in the mornings again.<br />WendySeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-51441982356150729312016-02-11T13:00:58.155-05:002016-02-11T13:00:58.155-05:00I do the same, when Jim is away, I make a veg stew...I do the same, when Jim is away, I make a veg stew and eat it all week, adding anything extra that takes me fancy.
