Its like 1 degree and snow still falling, very fine driftable snow, and wind still blowing.

Yesterday started soaking white dry beans. Noon I put an onion, a couple carrots, black peppercorns, a little salt, and some baking soda, a clove of garlic and a ham shank bone with a good dose of ham on it and let it cook 5 1/2 hours.

Cornbread in a cast iron skillet, honey from neighbors hives that work my native prairie flowers

Ill state right here there is no finer meal on a cold night in a blizzard
