It's COLD outside!

Somehow February seems like the longest month of the year.

We've had bitter cold temperatures, snow, and then more bitter cold.

I did take advantage of a sunny day to go outside and snap a few pictures around the yard.

A cold morning sunrise

Lots of snow this year!

Because it has been so cold outside, I have been spending a lot of time inside.

Father has been busy painting and I have been busy in the kitchen.

I have always wanted to learn how to make bread by hand - without the use of a breadmaker.

This week I tried some basic buns

Not the prettiest buns I've seen, but they tasted great. Not bad for a first attempt!

I've also been making a lot of pizza dough, and so pizza once a week.

Today I want to make some black current jam with some frozen currents from the garden.

And muffins ... Mmmmm.

I hope spring gets here soon so I can get out of the kitchen!

All this cooking isn't good for my waistline!
