I love dumplings. The big guy is making a serious attempt to be a less big guy, so no dumplings in our life right now.
 
I made a lovely beef stew last weekend, with a piece of a large piece of eye of round that I acquired. It's a bit tough, so I brined it for 12 hours, then beef tossed in seasoned flour and browned in batches, added carrots, potatoes, rutabagas, celery, onions, beef broth and seasonings. Brought to a boil then tucked in the oven (thank goddes for enamelled cast iron) at 250 for a few hours. The beef was $2.99 a lb. so I bought a 6 lb one and split it into 3. Lots of cheap tasty meals.

Yum
 
Yes, I may take the middle piece out, and while still fairly frozen, slice it thinly for rouladen. Yum. Funny enough, I like rouladen more than the big guy (I've been making it for years; it was a favorite of my adoptive cooking-loving auntie...)
 
Light flurries, risk of squalls later. And I thought we had dodged this bullet. Looks like it won't really warm up until next Tuesday.

I find the weather reports have become Ontario wide instead of more regional or localized. Better to just look out the window or check the radar.

Really? That's not what I am seeing. If I pull up London and Toronto in the EC app, they are often different. Not hugely, which makes sense given proximity, but definitely not identical, especially the hourly (we tend to get systems earlier).

Well today on the radio I hear 25 cm on a local broadcast...and when I look at the radar it looks sporadic and less.

Forecasts don't get updated often enough. Also, watch for the "localized areas" wording or "up to". That means there could be squalls or lake streamers coming in that won't cover a large area but could affect portions of the forecast's region. e.g. We've seen storms in London where my staff member in Strathroy was socked in but the office in East London was fine. And vice versa. But that all falls under the same forecast region.
 
More than I thought before I went out...3-4 inches and this is just to be the start of the storm :eek: Glad I don't have to be out on the roads
 
Went out to pick up some lunch (pork quesadilla) and there wasn't much snow around, though we did get some in the morning. Temp was just above 0C so I guess it's just a bit to warm for it to stick or something.
 
If the weather is insane does if reflect on mortals in weird relationships to seasonal disorders?

A short while ago I looked at the temperature reported and within seconds it changed 4 degrees Celsius ... probably a bad indication that Celsius is not a good thing ... those demanding preservation and conservatism will be dissonant ...
 
Will crazy weather be preserved by politicians or can we move along and progress ... in an effort to become the gross first, causing dissonance in the first to be last rule!

It is a deep drive ...
