Weather Report: They were right.

Ordinarily, I'd be headed over to Telford to see my buddies.

No goats or Austin outside this morning. Dogs trips out are very quick.



But not today. And probably not tomorrow.

The boys are home. I experimented with pancakes and got their endorsement for a repeat sometime. Parents are subsisting on black coffee, poor things, hiding away in their room.

Boys have had only one fight so far.

Toby is making good use of his hidey-hole and occasional refreshments of warm water in his dish...



Here is my experiment...

REFRIGERATOR FINDINGS

melt butter pat (or oil) in pan medium low heat

beat with fork one egg
add a smidge (1 tsp) of water (or o.j.or whatever)

beat in apx one Tbsp whole wheat flour
beat in apx one Tbsp all purpose flour

stir in spoonful leftover rice, or quinoa, or barley (or rolled oats? didn't try that one)
stir in apx 1/4 C frz blueberries (thawed)

*options, shredded carrots or apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin, lemon zest

fry in pan -- (smooth out if needed) until both sides brown a little

sprinkle with powdered sugar
honey or syrup

or leave out the sweet stuff and use leftover shredded veggies, seafood, onions, olives, corn, peppers whatever.

Neighbor Joe's grandson Jeffrey has his snowplow on the front of his truck; he's clearing Joe's roadway. My car and John's are parked on the upper end of our drive this time so Jeffrey won't be clearing it this time. Ridge Road is snowed under and the plows and salt spreaders are not going by as yet.

Right where I left it after choir practice last night. The first flurries were falling.
