Atleast it does in My area of the country but so far so good - been keeping warm for sure so far, hope you have been too

Too cold for me!!! Here in the deep South we just do not have the facilities or the tools to handle that level of cold. Homes are not built around here to withstand those temps either. So when we get cold we really are cold!!! Too! Going down to 21 degrees tonight with the wind chill factor it will be in the single digits!

Sounds good to me but how do you make the brown gravy or make the gravy brown?? I always wondered about that, don't make gravy really don't know how to. Maybe turkey gravy but brown I don't know...What's a cube steak those steaks pounded out I see them in the grocery store always wondered how they were maybe tomorrow I will try it..the hot chocolate is great its really cold here too...

Hehe Scoote,

Good Morning lovely Kitchen Patrons,

Firstly, holy CRAP it is cold out there. Well truly it would not be so bad, it is the wind that is bringing the temps right down.. and as I told the store clerk last evening.. it has only just begun... however, for our area we are getting a late start into the season.. of course in grand tradition that will just mean our season will last longer into the New Year.. no early Spring here.. I surmise. laughs.

I hope everyone has had a peaceful start to the week... and of course today is that National Holiday we have all come to know and love... the National Holiday of Humpage... so if nothing else we are half way through the week.. and those that can partake of the holiday name.. well.. there you go.. grins.

Thank you all for the well wishes.. everything is good here.. smiles.

This morning I was thinking homemade french toast, eggs any way we want them, sausage links and patties, some fresh fruit, cereal for those who want something quick.. and of course an endless supply of and
would get us through the day.

Waves to Jo, scoote, Zimmy, morning, kats, Matthew.. I hope all have a great day.

As Always,
Jake

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank you Jake for breakfast and it sounds yummy!! It is chilly outside but it feels wonderful!

Have fun today!

Zimmy

good morning kitchen dwellers
its a frozen morning here in NC... but warmed up with some hot oatmeal, fruit.. and my coffee.. lol
hmmm Jakes breakfast sounds very good.....
here is a pic I took last week .. a day and half after the snow storm hit buffalo and left all them people stuck on Part of I90 and 290 in buffalo ..
well this pic I was heading west on I90 .. the roads were all clear.. to go pick up a load.. this was around 4?? 430pm it was sunny all day.. but this was the sun setting behind the next wave of snow storm clouds coming in..

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone

Thank you for breakfast Jake..it sounds yummy! And drive safe on the roads up there morningstar. The snow is beautiful, but the ice....yikes! Zimmy...moving back north? Brrrrr....too cold for me. I'm looking forward to a winter sans snow shovel.

Scoote is still sick....but I finally got a decent night's sleep...so at least one of us is feeling a little better. Still not too "Christmasey" around here, but we're getting there. Scoote brought Rooster some reindeer antlers on a headband and, being my son, he gleefully wore them around the house all evening. At one point he tried to adjust the angle, broke one off and (pretend) sobbed "I'm a bad reindeer." A little extra-strength glue stick and he was all put back together again though.

No leftovers last night kats...so you'll just have to come to dinner and elbow your way to the mashed potatoes like the rest of us. And Matthew...what can I say but

Hope you all have a good day...I'm off to prep for conference calls, and tell my boss I'm almost ready for a new project.

baby...don't work too hard...make those lazy buggers do the lifting.

[lipstixgal]

Well its another Freezing day here today no break for us in the East, wish I lived in Fl already!! What can I say but bring on the hot chocolate or coffee or tea or something with heat. Staying indoors today and snuggle up until Spring time gets here.. Hope you all are having a good day. I think is at hand leaving and
