Fre-e-e-zing in Quinte


It's 15 below (C.) and sharply cold. Wind blusters, but the street looks pretty covered in snow. Second day into the new year and Lauri finally went to sleep. He was up for 2 days straight for no particular reason other than he didn't feel tired. He's been asleep now for about 15 or 16 hours and I expect him to wake soon and stay up all night again! In 9 days he'll be back at university, getting up early and studying late and losing sleep, as students do.

Tuna Helper (au gratin) was tasty and I had 3 helpings over the course of the day. Am presently cooking the veggies Andres bought for New Year's Eve at Metro-formerly-A&P (they come with a tiny container of dip) at the full price of $11.99. I had bought baby carrots the same day for .99, opting not to get the organic ones for 1.99 only to come home to see baby carrots as part of the tray of crudités at a pro-rated price of about 3.00 for a portion smaller than what I bought. So much for economy.

Anyway, after the dip disappeared, the veggie tray was relegated to the fridge where it sat until tonight and the leftover broccoli heads, cauliflower buds, celery sticks (I ate the remaining cucumber slices) and aforementioned carrots are now roasting in a frypan for consumption by me, the eternal vegetable-craver.

Boring stuff, eh?

Oh, and I finished watching the Corner Gas marathon on TV.
