I'm finally warm and it is 8 p.m. Just been one of those days when the cold crept in everywhere. Not least into my bedroom where the window was letting in a draft which moved the blinds and blew across my face. When we went bowling I even wore a T shirt under my sweatshirt and was just about comfortable. It was blowing half a gale (maybe a full one) all night and never got above -10°C all day. Not the coldest I have ever experienced but just seemed to get to me more. Bowling was so so today for both of us. Roll on next week when all the kids will be back at school we hope.
For those of you who read the saga at the beginning of last year regarding bed bugs, I have finally plucked up enough courage to put the bedspread back. It touches the floor and if there were any of the critters around they could nip up the corners with ease. So I really am being very courageous. OK I haven't seen or felt any for many months but....they could have been just waiting. They can last 18 months without feeding.
I was planning to do some cooking tomorrow, Friday, but realised I had forgotten to buy onions when shopping. I will have to get Matt to go to the store first thing for me. I want to make Spiced Beef in Red Wine it is, without doubt, one of the better casseroles I have made/tasted.
Yes, I know I posted a salmon recipe yesterday, but this looked so delicious I couldn't resist it. Also for those of you who care, it apparently doesn't taste to salmony. Looks delicious to me.
Sweet Citrus Spiced Salmon
If you're a fan of this omega-3 rich fish but prefer when it doesn't taste, well, too salmony, this Sweet Citrus Spiced Salmon recipe is for you. Salmon is marinated in pineapple and lemon juice and then baked with a sweet and spicy topping, leaving every bite the perfect blend of flavorful (but mellow)
fish!

Have a great day
It is very cold here too. Minus 13 C right now, but it sounds better as 9 F. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteIt's dropped to about the same here now Denise, but it's really sunny.
DeleteI like the cold, but that is just a bit too cold for me.
ReplyDeleteHoping no more bed bugs!
It's getting colder Alex. Beautiful sunny day though.
DeleteI hope so too. Terrible experience.
We're finally getting winter weather with snow and cold. Ugh. Do not like this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI do so long as it isn't dull, damp and cold JoJo.
DeleteOh dear. -10C!!!!!! That would kill me. The coldest temperature I've been in was -2C and my hands almost fell off. Stay warm.
ReplyDelete-10°c isn't bad Pinky. When we cross country skiied we thought that was a balmy day. Have been out in much colder than that. When your hands almost fell off, did you have gloves on?
DeleteFingers crossed that you've seen the last of the bed bugs. It must be nice to have the bedspread back in place, though.
ReplyDeleteIt is Helen. But..... something's biting me again. I don't think it's bedbugs though.
