9:30am

We are under a Level 1 Snow Emergency.

Many churches today have closed if that

says anything about the weather conditions.

If you were outside yesterday you would have

seen that it should have been a snow emergency

as well with all the white out snow, slippery roads

and blowing snow.  When you have to crawl along

doing 20-25 in a 45 mph zone and see on the news

all the crashes, road closures and police telling everyone

that they are only responding to injury accidents

it should have been issued then.

Starting to get cabin fever.

Want to go outside and do something.

(other than shovel snow)

9:50am

Alrighty then.  We usually go out on the weekend

to pick up a couple of things for meals for the week.

Don't know if we'll do that today or not 

but will plan a menu with things I already have.

1.  Creamy wild rice & potato soup with smoked sausage.

2.  Asian noodles with stir fry vegetable and 

breaded chicken nuggets sauted in teriyaki sauce.

3.  Breaded pork chops with stuffing and corn.

4.  Homemade pepperoni pizzas.

5.  Pork chops and scalloped potatoes

in mushroom sauce.

6.  One meal we plan to go out to eat for

a combination of hubby and son's birthday this month.

Mom's taking us out on Wednesday.

7.  Spaghetti with cut up smoked sausage rounds.

Breakfast

Cereal, muffins, egg sandwiches,
maybe cake mix waffles.

We are now under a Level 2 Snow Emergency.

I have been working on supper
of Creamy Wild Rice & Potato Soup with 
smoked sausage.
The wild rice soup packet I got at the thrift store for .90 cents.
I've seen these soup packets at grocery stores
and have always wanted to try one out.

Next I made up some waffles for a couple of the
kid's breakfasts.  I used a banana quick bread mix
I found in a vacated apartment.
So far I'm on a roll with making some pretty cheap meals.

We found this shelf rack in a vacated apartment
and hubby wanted to put it on the back of the toilet.
It was too big and I hated to throw it away so came
up with this idea of using it as a drying rack for
boots, gloves and hats when they get wet.
Set it over the register to dry your items.
I have it sitting over a return air vent for the picture
just so you get the idea
but you'd want to put it over a vent that blows out  hot air.

  And I have gotten more laundry going all the while
doing everything else.
