that's a tough one until you get used to not having as much salt in general. cheese sometimes has plenty of salt in it though. onions, mushrooms and some tomatoes help it for me (umami)

yes, but it is too early, i'd much rather it keep snow on the ground for another month or two. we'll certainly have some snow storms up even into April or even early May but this year i'm not taking any bets on any of this...

pasta salad and a few oranges.

all the snow melted, freezing tonight, will probably be a bit sunny tomorrow and that should help melt some of what is left off, but later this week into the 40sF during the day and perhaps some rains. wait 5 minutes and the forecast can change...

snuggle bribes, slowing down, not letting the herd see what is happening to the chosen one of the moment, just thinking about the issues/process and how to maybe make it easier. not sure it makes any sense to you, but i'm here for ya. ooh, ok, wearing some old hockey equipment? good job...

making progress. i did get my perch dusted underneath and around so now i'm drying the last blanket i need before i can put it back together. that means i can have a few hours of uninterrupted time to work on the other project i'd like to take some whacks at. :)

i am mostly micro-cleaning. 5-30 minutes or less at a time. yesterday was getting some papers filed or shredded. today i may get as far as washing a few blankets and dusting around my perch here, but i'd like to work on another project and get that done too. i'm not sure i want to multi-task...

fresh snow on the ground this morning, but not supposed to be major amount of new snow today. i'm not shovelling any of it.

too bad you don't have a shute with a sling or something that can grab and hold them while you do what you need to do.

could it have been there a long time?

yes, cold coming back for a while, but spring will be here soon enough. for a few days. then right into summer.

well perhaps they make more money from the service trips and money they make off repairs after the warranty expires? just happened in our case that we got a call in early enough to have lucked out... i dunno. sure doesn't make sense to me...

they did get the burners cleaned up today and so we are good, but a longer term fix is coming. it will be an added $500 but we're both just wanting it to be more reliable. apparently new furnaces have burners that will rust unless you get stainless steel ones installed but they don't tell you...

furnace still not being reliable, have heating guy coming out this morning to see what's not working, but also still waiting on propane delivery - we've not had issues before like this but it is a new furnace and perhaps needs some tweaking or this may just be how it is - dunno yet... in the...

continued leftovers and some oranges for breakfast/brunch and dinner. i get a few other carbohydrates in there somehow (it seems i always find a way :) ) and a glass of milk.

as long as it isn't accompanied by the Gang of Green ...

the cardinal was out today calling. it's a bit too early for that but they don't know. it was sunny enough and warm enough.

the really not fun part is when you get ice down and then some snow on top to hide it so you're not sure what you're stepping on.

take out from the chinese place. my brother accidentally put his order that he was supposed to take home in the trunk with our orders so we have extra and we also got extra. we don't really need extra food but i'm sure we'll eat it. :)

54F today, just not right in February but hey, here we are. :) no coffee or hot chocolate today.
