Grey skies here. Snow has stopped but we did get more some time in the night.

"Some time in the night" ... it extended with the cooling period?

One young lady from my past said there was considerable heat in the night ... she taught medicine! Many years ago or yans passed in Semitic timing ...

Mark that down ... reduction ! Such is a spatial marketplace where everything sells fairly! All in your mind I was told ... heavenly state ... that mood!
 
Pretty chilly here with a bit of breeze. Our son came over with the snowblower to do the driveway. He is getting older and dressed appropriately in his winter coveralls. Good choice as he goes to a neighbour to do their snow removal after ours. . I gave him our leftover bison pie so he'll have a quick and healthy lunch.

Here you go . This is what is used for English pork pies and French tourtierres.

4-5 cups flour
4 tsps baking powder
2 teasps salt
1 lb lard
1 cup hot water
4 tsps lemon juice or vinegar
1 beaten egg

Combine dry ingredients.
Cut in 11/2 cups lard.
Dissolve remaining lard with hot water.
Add remaining wet ingredients.
Nix well addung flour as needed/
Refrigerate for several hours.

I usually eyeball half of this recipe. So far it has always worked and makes a very easy dough to roll.

No awards for realising that I am not a fancy cook or baker. I operate by 'good enough'..
 
Glad to be safe at home...paper deliveries done and I got caught in the worst of today's storm as I headed south.

I just told this story in the Room, but my drive to work this morning was (roughly):

Shovel driveway in sun, put shovel away, back out of garage into a snow squall, drive slowly in whiteout conditions for maybe five minutes, then it lets up again and that's basically it for today..

Much alteration in the conditions doesn't make for smooth and steady, whether one can shovel it or not!
