I checked the package of McLaren's cheese I had in the fridge. It's been there for over 2 years and has only a slight pinkish bloom on one side. There is slightly more than half the package, so I should be able to make a half recipe and try these things out. Just in case, I've put the cheese on the shopping list.
Speaking of recipes, I've been reading a library book and discovered a piece of paper inside that someone must have been using as a bookmark. It has several handwritten recipes, in what appears to be an elderly hand.
Smoochy Mouthwash
Rapunzel Cinnamon hair tonic
Peppermint hand sanitizer
Pepe LePeu It Smells Good in Here air freshner.
The last one even sounds like it tastes good; Simmer in a pot: Apple cider
Whole Cinnamon Sticks
whole cloves
dash of nutmeg
and add a few drops of orange essential oil
We appear to have nothing to do except sit around and watch the snow and eat. Tomorrow's dinner will be Saucy Swiss Steak from the Kraft recipes. We tried this one before and really liked it. I froze half and when we ate that, I didn't think it was quite as good as it had been on the first night, but quite acceptable none the less. The next one I want to try is Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff--maybe on Wednesday.
We got at least a foot of snow, maybe as much as 18 inches. David was out blowing snow this morning. It's quite a social event with all of the neighbours out talking and helping each other. Hard to say how much time is actually spent working and how much is spent socializing. I notice that the young fellows across the back had their girlfriends shoveling for awhile but when I looked again shortly after it was just Mom and Dad and the dog out there.
For today, with all of the snow, I'm grateful not to have to go to work tomorrow, even if we have to go out for groceries later in the day.
