The first snow
Well! Shopgirlove wasn't quite ready for it, but Global
Warming notwithstanding, it snowed! That is to say: it snowed, then it rained, then it turned cold and snowed again. Translation? Nasty, horrible slush for the morning commute and scary, treacherous ice patches covered by powder for the evening commute. Good times! King Dutch is a fan...hmmm, not so much.
My favorite winter tale, by far, has been the lassitude of peasants. Why not spend the bleccch asleep with your loved-ones and your stock and throw your dead on the roof until the thaw? Makes sense to me!
Shopgirlove loves lassitude!

with it now moving ever so convincingly into the throes of winter, I would assume your immediate needs for a refridgerator has lessoned.
I say, buy frozen foods and keep them outside in a box.
On the serious side, if you haven't already done so, you may want to look into renting a fridge from a rent-a-center. If not, craigs is a good list.
cheers and hopefully you are still feasting on gin and bacon.
It's gin and bresaolo, now. No need for a fridge:

Bresaolo sounds pretty darned tootin' tasty if this omnivore may say so.
On another note, my roof is completely free of the dead.
But how's your livestock?
wow i'm moving to Pskov!
On the topic of livestock, the Gnu and the Impala are not the most domesticable animals. I have now decided it is better I stick with more tractable ungulates such as the wild cow and the even more unpredictable three-toed slot. Both of these are great animals for the lazy animal husbandry . . . ist.
Hope the braids look good.
Suddenly thoughts of the Central Kitchen pop into mind. I need to return to that little splendid eatery.
cheers.
ps have you noticed how the "word verification" words font look as if they were lifted directly from Gene Wilder's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
Sandy, I'll meet you there...except, I have to walk King Dutch.
Jonathan, WTF? I don't know what the "word verification" font of which you speak is??????? By the way,did you mean 3-toed sloth, or 3-toed slut? I find the latter much more intriguing, needless to say.
shopgirlove--
try posting a comment and you should see the "word verification" of which jonathon speaks. it's a "re-type these letters" test that's supposed to keep wild animals from trashing your site or something--maybe terrorists. or republicans. i'm actually quite unclear on the concept; just know it's supposed to be a "feature."
Thanks Anon, but what I really meant was that only J. would notice the font--most of us just type the word on go on about our business. I have to comment somewhere and check it out.
