Florida cold

Hey, Today I'm doing THIS again...






...BECAUSE a hard freeze has been predicted for our area...several hours of freezing temps overnight! If that really does come to pass...I fear all this good citrus will be lost! :( There is just so much I can save...although the fruit will keep for awhile-refrigerated, but I am limited with space in my fridges. So I will just do what I can... I have never tried to freeze juice~ and besides...don't feel up to doing a whole lot of squeezing~ especially not knowing how it would turn out! There must be a way but I have never researched the subject and it's a little late now to face this situation!

LOL- Charles says,"Just let them freeze on the tree and then pick 'em and freeze them whole!" He was joking, of course! If only it could be that easy!! ;)

Oh,well! What will be will be!
(as Doris used to say in that song!!)

With a little good luck that freeze won't happen!!
We'll see!

~~~

Perhaps this will help!
We DID have our black eyed peas and hog jowl yesterday...to bring us good luck in the new year, ya know!







Oh, yes! This meal was prepared by the famous, 'Confused Chef!'
It was excellent, as one might expect!



Tonight I am making a pot of old fashioned chicken stew...and am doing it the way of the Confused Chef...which is to say ~ without a recipe. I did, however, cut off a lot of the fat! I make this with a whole chicken-stewed and the bones removed...then add chopped onions, carrots, celery~ potatoes. (in big pieces) Cook until veggies are tender. Then add canned tomatoes, canned or frozen corn, canned green peas or lima beans (or both) canned green beans... pick and choose the veggies as you like.. :)... salt, pepper, parsley flakes- as you like!

LOL- NO RECIPE- just all guess work!

Hope it turns out good 'cause I invited my sis and BIL to eat dinner with us. They are coming up for some more fruit before the freeze....

Charles just heard on the news of SNOW FLURRIES on the coast!

MAN!!
This is Florida!! What's with the snow flakes?

( HATE this global warming trend! ) :)

Gotta go and do that chicken stew now!

Later,

To insure our good luck?

For our dinner tonight Charles, again, made this meal of Black-eyed Peas, Greens and Cornbread!
I guess he's not wanting to take any chances with our 'luck' this year!! :)
It was fine with me-as it meant I didn't have to worry about coming up with a plan!
...Besides-that country grub is right good eatin', so I'm not complainin'!

~~~~~~

Today has been one long and uneventful (boring!!!) day...after a long and restless night!
When I finally slept I had bad dreams for the 2nd. night in a row!
So tonight I will not even attempt sleep until the wee hours! Will try to exhaust myself totally before attempting sleep! I'll read my book for hours to beat this sleep gremlin that's messing with my sleep! Finally, I will take 2 pills instead of one! (TylenolPM) ...Before the GREMLIN gets the drift of what I'm doing, hopefully, I will drift off to sleep!

Sounds like a PLAN! :)
