MLK Weekend 2021 - Acknowledging the Message of Winter

Saturday, January 16, 2021




Dale and I are both exhausted. The heightened tension nationally from the insurrection a week and a half ago has taken a toll not to mention the cumulative effects of the pandemic and the past four years of the current presidency. We've really taken some time these past couple weekends to really take care of ourselves and regroup even more than what we're getting used to. I'm trying to keep in mind my belief that the biggest message winter has for us is to look to nature for the clues to slow down. 



Last weekend we made a chicken pot pie. 



It's one of our favorite winter meals.

I'm doing a dry January so I had Bubly for cocktail hour. Dale had his usual red wine. 




We listened to the album Like Someone In Love by Ella Fitzgerald. It's awesome and Dale mentioned that he especially liked it. 




For dinner we prepared a salmon quiche. Another one of our wintertime favorites. 




And for dessert we had our ever-lovin' Oh Ho roulade from Kowalski's. 



We watched some of our favorite episodes of The IT Crowd. The last few years we've watched this on the evening of Christmas Day after dinner with Mom. She loves the show and finds it hysterical. We didn't get to it this year.
