honestly this one's really pushing it even to be called casserole (no carb) and I'm pretty sure would be disavowed as hot dish

By next weekend it will have been under 20F/-7C for so long that the notion of jacking up the heat and inviting friends over for a funny-tshirts-and-slushy drinks party is getting real strong...

It’s like everyone thinks we’re on the prairie in the 1800s about to get snowed in until May
There are no potatoes left There are also no mushrooms left

oh dear or dear. I know you have the skills but even w/that in mind--take care. I hope at least that your booth is out of the wind and in the sun. Maybe have someone swing by mid-afternoon to drop off extra pocket-warmers so you don't have to worry about rationing them?

I put a warming mat under the blanket on the couch for my bald dog. I need to do a super cut of him running from the patio door right to the warm spot on the couch because he’s a bald ass chihuahua tryna make it in below freezing weather.

MN protestors #protip put 2 Idaho Russets in the oven at 420 degrees for 45 min, take them out and foil wrap, 1 in each pocket before you go out. Theyll stay warm for 3-4 hours even in this weather and you can eat em when you like. They used to send us kids out like this back in the 70s trust me.

Anyway this cold is going to kill people. I hope some of the organizing work has made it a little less likely. Extreme weather is also a manifestation of climate change, in general.

oh yippee. They dropped the local forecast even further. High today of -2F/-19C, and current wind-chill in bright sunshine is -33F/-36C.

I can survive it. I have the skills. It does this every winter here. But I reserve the right to be crabby about it.

Today is also #HandwritingDay! Our Library Assistant is particularly fond of the handwritten (and drawn) eight volume set on seashells from our rare books collection. We don't know who the author is, but we do know they had beautiful penmanship ✍️
📖ref BL.48A: Conchology, by Anonymous c.1816
A photograph of an introductory page of a book on seashells. The text reads - this work consists of coloured and plain drawings and outlines made from shells, and from engravings contained in the works of Martini and Chemnitz, Gualtierus, Donovan, Mus: Bonan, Kercher, Knorr, Rumphius, Encyclopaedia Methodica, Pennant, Turton, Lister, Montagu, Born.
