Buongiorno

Happy Wednesday to you all. We are out of the freezer for today, put back in tomorrow and then it's moderate temperatures for the foreseeable future. My little Frieda joined me for an afternoon in a sunbeam. She graciously allows me to use her ottoman and throw. She is so kind and gracious. It was so cold yesterday I didn't bother to get out of my warm robe.


I followed through and made a pasta dish with the leftover salmon. Pasta stretches a small amount of protein into a meal. As you have undoubtedly noticed, pasta is the main carb used in this abode. 


I really like gelato and have decided to make some. I have an ice cream maker and have made ice cream often, but never gelato. May do this today or tomorrow. Add a bit of diversion into my life, but not too much! On that note, soup will be made today and life will carry on.

I've never tried pasta with salmon. Noted. I think I'd like it. Meanwhile stay warm.

Cold here yet today and then MAYBE a warm up at least above zero!! Stay warm and cozy!

Sandra said...

Salmon is very good with pasta and a great way to use a small amount leftover. It's good in a cream sauce and in an oil and also with a little red pepper flakes. Really, what ever you fancy, Boud!

Sandra said...

It's warmer today, below zero again tomorrow and then a warming trend. You stay warm up there in the frozen northland, Far Side.

Salmon with anything sound delicious to me, Sandra. And we also enjoy pasta dishes, but more so rice of which we have several varieties always in the pantry. Your temps are much colder than Nashua, NH, ours have been single digits overnight and teends in the daytime. The cats have the right idea - find a nice comfy blanket and some sunshine and nap away.

When it warms up for you, I anticipate that it will warm up for us, but I confess that I have not minded the freeze although it surely affects our gas bill.

Sounds like a delicious plan!

Rita said...

Above zero today. 10 degrees! But windy so it says feels like 11 below, so still quite cold enough. Better than 50-60 below wind chill, that's for sure!
Looks like a really comfy throw and robe. Cats know exactly where to cuddle up! :)

Yes, the cold won't last forever, so stay comfortable while it lasts.

I love the photo of Frieda. The colors, the textures and the light of the sun. Very nice.
It was warmer today where I live today. It is suppose to get down to -8 tonight. It could be worse you had -14...Yikes!
Take Care,
Kaye

Buongiorno! I took Italian for awhile. Love that language. Felt like -11 this morning when I went out to the barn and it was sunny all day. That helps my brain, especially when we don't have wind. I also love the photo of Frieda...such beautiful light. Of course the news has been extraordinary! For some reason it did not get me down so much today. Maybe there will be some hope down the line.

It been on cold side here in North Idaho.

Sandra said...

The cats sure do, Dorothy. I also like rice. We have another subzero day.

Sandra said...

I don't mind the cold as much as the heat, AC. What I don't like is the same thing as you. The propane tank empties really fast during these times in the winter.

Sandra said...

It was, e!

Sandra said...

We were above zero yesterday but are now -4 F. I know you are colder, Rita. The coldest actual temperature I've experienced is -35 F. The dashboard on my car cracked!

Sandra said...

It won't, Cheerful. Then I will be whining about the heat!

Sandra said...

I couldn't resist the photo of Frieda in the light, Kaye. As I recall you are in the mountains. That can get wicked.

Sandra said...

Molto bene, Lori! I know a smattering of Italian. Thanks to Cheerful I am learning more online. I studied French for 4 years, but lack of use has caused a loss of most of it. We are in for a warm up, hopefully it comes your way. I have stayed away from the news but it still filters in.

Sandra said...

I would imagine it would be, Dora.
