Hi Jim,
Back in the real world again. We were on a cruise ship this past week,
out of NYC to Boston, Providence and then Sydney, Cape Breton and
Halifax, NS. We went with Steve's mom, siblings & spouses and a niece.
RH> Fort Huachuca ... a variety of micro climates in the state. Our
RH> girls got occaisional snow days
JW> We don't have snow days here! Elementary schools cancel outdoor
JW> recesses if the temp or the windchill is -35 or worse. Attendance is
JW> optional at -40 but the doors stay open as many working parents
JW> wouldn't be able to find a baby sitter on short notice and at least
JW> half the kids will show up. Middle school and high school students
JW> never catch a break.
We used to have them quite often when I was growing up, more for snow
than for cold. I understand now that the county Board of Education is
considering doing away with them, making the kids do on line classes
when conditions are too bad to transport students.
JW> Going through my fall beet and squash recipes I came across an
JW> interesting South African dish that uses both of them:
Something to consider as we're moving into cooler temperatures. Our
older daughter (in Utah) said they had snow flurries today. We were in
the 60s but I'm browsing the instant pot cook book for colder weather
recipies.
