How do you make your goulash?
- Reset two email accounts so the mail is "pushed" to my main Gmail account
- Took apart and threw out the wreath we had beside the front door.
- Cooked goulash for lunch.
Was this supposed to be a PM?I couldn't open the last message. Want to try it again?

Brown stewing beef, onions, sweet and hot peppers, mix in hot and sweet paprika as well as garlic, cover with water and simmer for 90 - 120 minutes. Thicken gravy with tomato paste and/or sour cream. Serve over egg noodles.How do you make your goulash?
that's the way it was here too -- the wind was gusting and at times it was almost like "whiteout" conditions here.
It was very light snow, although at times, when that wind really gusted yesterday afternoon, we couldn't see the building across the road from our complex; it was just white. Fortunately, that started in just after I came back inside from my walk!Most of the time, it was like a mist, only snow. Like what you're describing.
We keep the electric blanket on high throughout the night, largely because of the cats. I'm a burrower, so I tend to burrow down into the covers and the covers are right around my nose. Molli doesn't like all the covers over her, just the comforter and she's happy. Sometimes, Molli gets too warm and she'll get up and go down to the foot of the bed and sleep there. Muffin, OTOH, is like me as she likes to burrow down in as deep as she can. If the bedcovers slip off of her, she'll let me know it by meowing at me and then I'll just tuck her back in again. And she'll drop back off to sleep. She's pretty much staying in bed and under the covers all night long.
We have electric heat throughout the house. The bedroom register hardly ever comes on and that room stays fairly warm most of the time. The last couple of nights, though, we've heard the bedroom register click on, so we know it's cold. And when I went to the basement this morning to use the treadmill, I flipped the curtain back to look outside and the windows were frosted. I'm wearing sweatpants and a heavy sweatshirt when I'm on the treadmill.
No woodstove here. My parents had an old, antique cookstove that they used to keep their house warm. It did a great job. Dad put vents in the floor in the kitchen, which was right above the stove. Even on the coldest days, my mom would walk around in shorts because the house was so warm! I loved visiting them because that was the one place I knew would be nice and toasty all the time.
Wind chill advisory here ends at 1:00 pm. I checked and, at noon, we will be at 15 degrees F with a wind chill of 1 F. So that's not actually quite that bad. I keep looking outside and the trees are whipping and the flags are whipping around the poles. I'm not sure I have the guts to go outside in it, though.
My MIL called me this morning. She wanted to go to the grocery store and she and my FIL were having a spat over it. He didn't want her to go out in the cold, esp as she is getting over a nasty cold. They decided to call me to see what I thought.I asked her if it was vital that she go and she said, "Wellllllll, no, I guess not." I told her to keep her butt at home and that Rick and I would do some shopping for her when we're out and about on Saturday morning....that's still time enough to take advantage of the sales she wants. She wasn't real happy about it, but agreed. Honestly, if she were to fall in the parking lot and if nobody saw her fall for a while, it wouldn't take long for her to freeze in this weather. And she is recovering from that cold. I thought it was ridiculous. She was not amused.
- And to keep on track, I will add that I have to look through the bathroom closet to try to find Rick's beard trimmer tonight. He says it's in there, but he can't find it. I didn't think the closet was that disorganized, but evidently it is.
He texted me this morning and asked if I'd take a gander for it for him.
