We are supposed to get freezing rain, snow, and high winds today so I'm hoping to stay home all day and get things done. •school •office work (bills, bank deposits) •mop up muddy paw prints (yesterday was a mucky, muddy day) •keep an eye on Linus, my cat who had a respiratory infection two weeks ago. He's been back to his normal self for the past week and a half but started snuffling and sneezing again last night.

Alessandra Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Do the stuff I didn't get to yesterday. Nice thing: yesterday, when I was cleaning out a tiny chest of drawers in the basement, I found my old fountain pens. I had thought kids had 'borrowed' them, then broken them and secretly disposed of them, lol. In the same chest, I also found an old mouse nest. We used to have mice, but haven't seen evidence of any in several years. So today, I will don rubber gloves, finish cleaning the chest and the bleach it. I plan to try a paint project -- maybe chalk paint and stencilling? Container Store and Trader Joe's today as a reward after I finish boring stuff. So TJ Mandarin Chicken tonight -- a family favorite. Decluttering today will be old children's VHS videos. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Miso-chili cod? I am looking for a good cod recipe, if you have time. Sure! It's a Plated recipe and I've never made it before, so I can't vouch for how good it is. Miso-Chili Cod with Coconut-Ginger Broth and Sweet Potatoes (serves 6) •3 red bell peppers, diced •3 sweet potatoes, diced •3 limes, cut into wedges •3/4 oz. ginger root, peeled •6 scallions, thinly sliced (keep whites and light greens separate from dark greens) •3 Thai chiles, thinly sliced •6 T mayonnaise •1 1/2 T miso paste •3 T Thai sweet chili sauce •2 lbs. cod •(3) 13 1/2 oz. cans coconut milk •9 oz. baby spinach Preheat oven to 425*. Heat 3 T canola oil in a medium high-sided pan over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add bell pepper, sweet potato, and whole ginger knob. Cook, stirring, until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add scallion whites and light greens to pan and cook until beginning to soften, 2 minutes more. Season with 1/2 tsp. salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, miso paste, and sweet chili sauce. Place cod on a baking sheet lined with foil. Season all over with salt and pepper as desired, then spread miso mayo over tops of fish. Bake cod until tops begin to brown and fish is cooked through and opaque, about 7 minutes. While cod bakes, in pan with vegetables, add coconut milk. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium high and simmer until liquid has thickened slightly, 3-4 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Remove and discard ginger. Stir in spinach until wilted, working in batches as needed. Stir in Thai chile. Season with salt and pepper. Divide vegetables and coconut-ginger broth between shallow serving bowls. Place miso-chili cod in center over vegetables, and garnish with scallion dark greens. Serve with lime wedges. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I haven't gotten a thing done in the house yet because we've been busy getting the horses ready for this yucky weather. The temp is dropping so fast - it will be over 40 degrees colder this evening than it was this morning. Plus, we're getting freezing rain which will change over to snow later today and there will be 40 mph winds. So - extra hay, extra bedding in the stalls, check the automatic waterer and fill up the stock tank. And the horses have to be cooped up by the barns for the next three days because of deer hunting, so I went down in the pasture and gathered up all their pasture toys and brought them up so they have something to play with. This is the last weekend of deer hunting and you have to be careful of hunters who haven't gotten a deer yet and are shooting at anything that moves. :glare: In other news, I talked to the vet and she wants Linus to continue with more antibiotics, so that means I have two more weeks of cat wrestling ahead of me. :001_huh: Off to tackle my disastrous kitchen and filthy floors... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complicated but delicious sounding. I would need to pick up a few of the less common ingredients, but it's the kind of recipe I like. Thanks for typing it out! Just looked at your last post.

Alessandra Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) Behind on everything. Registering dd for Girl Scout camp took forever. You can't pay until every medical and other form is completed. I get it -- no camp director wants to be begging for forms just before camp. But it look well over an hour, more than I had expected. So fun TJ shopping trip will have to wait. Edited January 11, 2018 by Alessandra 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 kitchen - hand washing laundry- switch laundry around paperwork - grade algebra and anatomy & physiology questions. Petri dishes were filled but need to be put in fridge in a bit. Plus, I've gone through all the lab explanations for tomorrow and have gotten the lab scale working and gotten other materials out and ready. Some chemicals need to be mixed fresh tomorrow so I can't do everything ahead of time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Kitchen is clean and tile floors are mopped. Gave laundry room and mud room a quick wipe down. 2 loads laundry done. All of the windows on the north and west sides of our house are coated with ice from the freezing rain. Ds19 and I went out to feed the horses and the gate latch, padlock, and hay shed door were all iced shut and had to be thawed/busted open. Now it's snowing horizontally because the wind is so strong. Dh and I are supposed to have a boring business meeting at our lawyer's office tomorrow morning. I'm secretly hoping the roads will be so icy that we'll have to cancel and I can stay home and hibernate. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 We are supposed to go to TN this weekend where we'll have cold, wind, and a little snow. Everything is done except laundry. Dh and I watched a bit of a series we're watching on Netflix. I have to do some tonight and in the morning because we leave tomorrow afternoon. My family is having our "Christmas gathering" this weekend. My sister asked last year if we could do it later and try to set some new traditions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many things (all schools) here are closed tomorrow because of predicted freezing rain followed closely by snow. They are saying up to 1/4" of ice underneath the snow by late tomorrow. Our weather people do tend to exaggerate or predict more dire weather than we usually get, but TN is no place to drive when there is a winter storm! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
