Snowed in again. This winter has been… “challenging.” Last year was livable, with the very notable exception of the major storm in January. That was a few weeks of mess though. This winter has either been wicked cold, raining, snowing, or some combination of the three. Save a few very brief breaks of 60’s, it’s been too cold to leave the house for months. Heck, it’s been too cold to leave bed most days. Our mantra has been “it’ll warm up any day now,” but I am actually starting to have doubts. It might just be freezing the rest of the year. No bueno.

Nothing to relate from the weekend. Can’t leave the house. More TV. BOO! We did cook some reasonably good food along the way, which luckily we had in the freezer. I also made avocado toast for breakfast a few times, as we had a bunch of avocados approaching end-of-life. I gotta say, I just don’t get that pairing. Never have. People just rave and carry on about it, even claiming “oh, you have to go to such-and-such restaurant, they have the BEST avocado toast!!!!” Yeah… It’s OK… at the end of the day it’s a smushed up avocado spread on a piece of toast. I guess you might get a particularly great piece of toast (whatever constitutes great toast,) or a perfectly ripe avocado, but, well… It’s still a smushed avocado on toast. I’m likely showing my cheapskate side here (again,) but it also bugs me that people even order it at restaurants in the first place. Pay $15 for it, and claim it’s the best breakfast they ever had. Errrr… You know you can drop by the grocery on the way home, grab an avocado and a loaf of local bread, and have the same exact thing? Hey, whatever. Me, I’ll stick with the biscuits and gravy when I go out. (And invariably complain about that also, as it’s easy to make better at home. But at least you have to put a LITTLE effort into it.)
