An easy winter day here of only 2 to 4 inches.
People here long to see snow. It's cool when it's falling or fresh on the ground but certainly complicates things like travel. You know what they say about grass and fences. Here it is rain. In the summer especially there is souch rain in rainy years it drives some people nuts. Personally I like.it. it's what I know. In the early 80s I went to LA for almost a year and it rained once while I was there...ONCE. Funny thing was it was a comedy of errors like it is here when it snows. People don't know how to drive in it there because they hardly ever see it. In the whole time I was there. It rained once. Here sometimes it will only rain once a day or on a rainy day maybe only once before lunch. Or sometimes it will only rain once a day for 5 minutes… rain over an inch in that 5 minutes. Florida's a great place to live if you really don't like winter. If you really don't like summer not so much. It is going to be summer time for 8 to 9 months out of the year. Usually, December, January, and February are kind of cool, sometimes even cold, but once March comes around all the way through parts of November at least part of it is going to be in the 80s if not 90s. It could be 80s any month of the year. I have heard that in parts of Montana it can snow any month of the year. More power to you if that's what you like no matter what it is and where it is. As Ronald Reagan said "vote with your feet."

76 here in Knoxpatch at 3:25pm.
Snowmageddon so far hasn't happened.:rofl2: We are suppose to get 8 inches or so overnight. In my opinion they are trying to take 3 little storms and add them together to get a big one. The side streets/roads that have had the snow compressed by driving on them into ice are a little slippery but I have driven in much worse. I was reading about a town in Brazil that got 23+ inches of rain in 24 hours. 1 inch of rain equals 6 to 12 inches of snow depending on how wet the snow is. 12 to 24 feet of snow in a day! Now that would be a snow storm!
I had to chuckle again....
They say in our vehicle emergency kits for winter we should carry water?????
In below freezing tempertures? If I am stuck in the ditch and need some hydration I can reach outside and get some snow. How in the heck is a bottle of ice going to improve my situation?:rofl2:
Ballast is important in the wintertime.
We only got the 2 inches but ugly winds. I shoveled but I know I will have to do it again in the morning. Drifts can become bad! I'm just happy it's my weekend.
Although on my Monday they are giving me another victim, I mean trainee to teach. Sometimes this is good. Sometimes it can be bad. Only time will tell.
You keep shoveling snow, I'm busy with keeping the lakes open.

A new record for me. The earliest I've ever had my boat back on the lake was Feb. 20, 1986. Ten days earlier, this year. 2/12/23
So....what scenario are they going to come up with for global warming, since Corona virus is now over.

We got a litle more snow today and traffic was pretty good. Probably because they convinced many to stay at home!:rofl2:
A personal fav, what with my handle all.

Pretty close to mine, Tom. I've got mine dialed in for perfection. Always sets up perfectly. Always creamy, never gritty, never sets up in the pan while dropping on wax paper.
So here's mine.
2 cups white sugar.
1 stick 53% or higher margarine. (not butter)
5 Tbsp cocoa powder.
1/2 cup milk.
2-3 Tbsp. Vanilla extract.
2 cups Jiff Peanut butter. (only the best)
3 cups Quaker oats (1 minute )
Place first five ingredients in 2 Qt. sauce pan
Strirring constantly, bring to a boil on medium heat. Once mixture comes to a full boil, cook exactly 2 1/2 minutes, no longer.
Again...stirring constantly.
Turn off heat
Add peanut butter, and stir in partly.
Add oats, and stir thoroughly.
Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper.
Let cool, and enjoy.!
They don't screw with my diabetes that much, the oats slows the release of the sugars, for me. Its one of those good, .but bad for me things, I enjoy every so often.
Just miss the big glass of ice cold milk. I used to wash um down with.
I’m going to have to make both and decide the winner!
Both look delicious, but I personally am not a fan of margarine…
:tu
I just use butter if it says margarine or lard when it comes to stuff like cookies, and biscuits. It works the same in a recipe.
Depends on what you have on hand and can afford.
I'm tellin y'all, I've been making these here morsels since I was a youngster. I've screwed up my share of these. Butter or lard will be hit or miss on if you have hard as rock candy, or lumpy goo to put on ice cream. Or the occasional half set cookie, that has to be scraped from the wax paper.
You want perfection..... Not wasting pricey ingredients from the grocery store.
But that's me. Domino sugar, Hershey's cocoa powder, Jiff peanut butter. Only the best goes in my goodies.
My wife is big on making cakes n cookies of all sorts, did it for a living. but she bows to me for making the no bakes. :tu
I defer to your experience and would buy some for specific cooking needs buddy! Never made bakeless goodies, cept penny candy from melted sugar but I’m open to trying.
My aversion to margarine is simply the synthetic way it’s made. I almost took a job in a margarine factory so have seen the process. It’s a stable shelf life product, but as a spread, on bread, I’ll always reach for butter.
In moderation, like in specific treats as the above recipe describes, I’ll eat a lil bit fer sure.
The wife has butter down, but it's Imperial margarine.
That stuff is like crack! :rofl2:
I like Can't believe it's not Butter
Actually, I cant believe that Can't Believe it's not Butter is not actually Butter :dropjaw:
