    There is one exception to my views on snow. I love to watch the beautiful flakes drift slowly to the ground if they immediately melt on contact and don't accumulate.

    Snow belongs in the mountains...so people can ski, and so people can enjoy the beauty. I do like the look of fresh fallen snow. But then cars go by, it all gets dirty and messy and then the accidents start.

    I think the freshly clean leg correlates to the cold and windy remark. I think. :smirk:

    if only i had almonds or almond meal. was looking for something to bake with clementines i picked up yesterday. found a recipe for Clementine Torte.

    can't make fairy cupcakes, needs a whole cup of unsalted butter. i could make the cake or the frosting, not enough ingredients for both, or half the recipe? hmm

    or i could make shortbread cookie dipped in chocolate. :) or one giant pan sized cookie with chocolate dribbled on top.

    Why not just eat a clementine...no baking, no extra sugar...just eat it? I know, that's a novel idea.

    Dana


    iz 5 lbs of clementines.

    Why buy so much if you live alone? They will last a while in the refrigerator. I love various kinds of tangerines: clementines, manderin oranges, mineolas. But I don't buy 5 pounds at one time. Even if you bake with them, you still have to eat them all. It's a lot. Did you ever try canning? Maybe they would make a good marmelade.

    I am waiting for the Platinum $1.99 items that will be on sale on Wednesday. My RAM arrived at the big post office. I guess the big post office will send the package to the smaller (local) post office later in the day.

    ...rained hard all last night into this morning. Feeling it in all the joints today. can barely move without it aching, even after the morning dose of Advil. Was planning on going to a job fair but it takes three transfers (one leg on the MAX light rail which makes me nervous after yesterday) to get there and really don't relish the idea of standing around waiting 20 min for a bus should it open up and pour again. Even though it is rainy here a good part of the year, many bus stops don't have shelters.

    Umbrellas everywhere you look in the city today. I was supposed to go to something this morning but think I'll watch on TV instead :)

    ...don't use a brolly here because of the wind, especially in the city centre with all the highrises. Seems for me it doesn't take long before it's all bent up and or torn to the point of being unusable. For here I need one with a titanium or tungsten frame and kevlar shell.

    Seems the transit system here expects that you like being rained on. During the renovation of the downtown transit mall they took out all the old shelters that actually protected waiting commuters from the weather and replaced them with these "modern" looking glass & steel ones that are totally worthless as they offer little if any protection from the wind. The project won a civic architects award though which actually stated that it was based only on form, not function.

    That's not a shelter, that's a pergola with glass on it! :lol: It's only good if the rain or snow is coming straight down. That doesn't happen often these days, even here. Seems like it's always windy these days.

    whoa our shelters are real basic by comparison, tho being fair it doesn't rain here much. Like the art-deco-ness of the "old" bus shelter.

    This one from 1917 is a couple of blocks and the other side of a park away from where we live, it has a mosaic floor and a slate roof. The last time I walked past someone was sleeping in it :)
