My wife likes to use apple sauce in her cornbread recipe. I don't know how or why, but they taste good.

Whereabouts is she from?

A small farm town in Eastern Colorado. Both her and her mother (as well as several of the farmers' wifes in the area) prefer to do any baking with apple sauce. She uses it in place of sugar and some of the liquid. All I know is that it leaves the cookies/brownies/cakes/muffins/etc very soft and moist.

Had grilled/bbq dove once was one of the better things I have ever eaten

The high temperature this WEEK is going to be 25. This sucks.

 

[Dexman1349]

It may be cold here, but at least we get to see the sun most of the time. The sun automatically raises the "perceived" temperature by several degrees.

I think it's a high of 42 here all week and a low of 18. I'm not built for those kind of temperatures. I guess I need to start eating more cheeseburgers or something.

I'd like to try groundhog. They look so plump and juicy whenever I see them by the side of the road. I guess for the majority of the pupulation their first though is "Awe, soo cute". Mine is "mmmm, food".

It totally sucks being back at work.

I try, kinda...

A high school buddy of mine used to try to run groundhogs over on purpose. He thought he had one nailed one night until he was right on top of it and discovered it was a skunk. That was one smelly '72 Impala when he got home.

Amen to that.

i have a little barrell type goldfish pond on the back porch (the goldfish appear to be doing well under a few inches of ice) last night I made a pot of boiling water to break through the ice to feed them, well I poured a 1 qt pot of boiling water on the top and it didnt melt a damn thing... so then I drilled a 1" spade bit through it and dropped some food down to them (this was all at my daughters request that they needed to be fed)

it was frozen over again this morning, they will just have to make due until all this 19^ weather is gone..

It would be so cool to be cold-blooded.

I spend most of January and February keeping a hole melted in the ice for our koi pond. They say you have to keep a hole in the ice to allow gases to escape. If you don't, it will supposedly kill the fish. The usual weapon of choice is about 3 gallons of hot water.

What if you put a bubbler in the pond? Would it still freeze over?

 

[Flyer_PE]

Even with the bubbler, it still freezes over for a few days. Keeping the waterfall pump running helps a lot too. It's only a problem when the high temperature is below 20 degrees.

Maybe, but even if it did, the ice would have cool bubbles in it.

My feet are freezing. I guess I need some heavy socks or a space heater. My office is in a 150 year old brick building with cracks in the walls. I can feel the drafts of cold air.

The architects were bitching about it being cold downstairs. I suggested they get a 55-gallon drum and start a fire in it. They were not amused.
