Hi All! You may know I've been without a stove/range for months. If not take a look at my search in the post Looking For A Stove What A Job! I searched high and low for the perfect one and have come to the conclusion there is no such thing. So not to sound like I'm complaining but I've been without one for almost 3 months now. Let me tell you that can be challenging for anyone. It pays to be adventurous and creative! Today I share the things that have helped me make it through these months.
Believe it or not, if you give yourself about twice as long to cook a meal it can be done. Hey, it's a win that it can be done at all.
I love Prime Rib, don't you?

Simple Christmas Porch
It is amazing how a few simple touches can be all that is needed. We all know and this year has made it abundantly clear as to what is most important.
I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. I wish for all a Happy New Year! It's going to happen you'll see.

Did You See It?
Isn't the photo above wonderful! My thanks to Ed Piotrowski of WPDE for allowing me to use it and his explanation.
Ed says, " Here it is! My photo of the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn through my telescope just after 6pm tonight. In addition to the planets, 4 of Jupiter's moons were visible including Europa, Ganymede, to & Callisto. Saturn's Titan moon was also visible. I stacked many images for more clarity and color but also so you could see the moons and planets (different exposures used) in the same image. Equipment included Nexstar Celestron 6SE with Nikon D750 attached."
I'm so glad he shared that with us!
Thanks, Ed

Thank goodness he had his telescope with a camera and took great pictures! I wanted to share from the expert first.
We depend on him and his most accurate weather information here!
My photos are not so great in fact they look a little ridiculous. I'll share them anyway. I was so excited! Well, you'll see!

Brussel Sprouts Cauliflower and Broccoli Casserole It Is Delicious!
Today I found myself with a fridge full of fresh vegetables. Well still fresh but in a few days will have to be thrown out to the chickens if not used. We had tons of them as many as we could hold on the vegetable tray this past weekend.
What was I to do, what was I to do? Oh, I know make a casserole! If this doesn't get them eating vegetables then I don't know what will. This is a meal all by itself very filling and so delicious!

Raspberry Fruit Dip
Sharing a dip recipe for fruit. It is great with sliced pears, apples, strawberries, blueberries, and many other fruits.
We all enjoyed this the other night with our fruit platter. We had a vegetable platter with ranch dip it was good but didn't get hit as hard as the fruit platter.
The meat and cheese platter was very delicious as well. Homemade ham biscuits a huge variety of cheeses, crackers, an assortment of bread, etc.

Look At The Chicks Now!
It's been a while since I've posted anything about the baby chicks now young hens. We lost one sadly it was my pick of the litter, not that it mattered any loss is a loss. The white one with the most personality was taken by a snake I believe.
