I keep looking at that header picture of the Arizona place and wondering if the sun is out down there.... But a quick check of the National Weather Service history shows that it was only 55 for a high at Mesa Gateway Airport about 2 miles from our house....
But I'm not sure we got above freezing again today... And tonight is to be in the teens, here in Kansas.... So our high was Arizona's low.... Here in the midwest we get this cold damp air that is so laden with moisture that it seems it could rain or snow at any minute and that was what today seemed like...
And finally when I was taking the tax deposits over to the post office this afternoon, it was flurrying... Not enough to stick on anything, but just snow in the air... And dusting on the corners of the car.... Too cold to melt, and light and airborne all at once..... Danged cold up the pants legs...
Tonight we have the three bandits in crime of our grandkids over here... They are the children of our younger son Ben and DIL Danielle.. We made home made pizzas which were mostly devoured in about 5 minutes....
I mixed the dough about 4:30 PM before I went out on the mail run... Left it in the oven which was heated only warm and then turned off... It was more than doubled by 6 PM....
When we rolled it out, I pre baked it for about 8 minutes at 400... It browns nicely and keeps the crust from being so soggy... If we had a steel 500 degree oven the floor would cook the crust, but we lack that.... Doing several pies also negates the stone idea... although I do have one stone...
We had Italian sausage and pepperoni with some mushroom pieces.. And two kinds of cheese... Mostly white but with some yellow mixed in for color.... We were all stuffed....
They are all down in the basement watching the kiddy movies that Loyce keeps on hand here.. Its beyond bed time, but tomorrow is Saturday, so perhaps staying up late is fun at grandma's....
There's a darned storm that is predicted for Sunday night and Monday in the Northeast corner of Arizona and into New Mexico... Not sure how much snow they will get, but it will continue to be cold and damp.... Not sure how we will handle that if we take off to go back South....
But for now the heaters seem to be running almost continually.....

The sun is shining even though it's still cold and that makes it so much more bearable. But you're right, there is a storm moving in so keep a close eye on that weather report. Sounds like the bandits all loved the pizza.
ReplyDeleteToo cold where you are...go south.
ReplyDeleteI think the worst part of cold weather are the utility bills. I nearly fell over when I saw mine this week.
ReplyDeleteThose pizzas sure would warm me up in a hurry, Rod. Glad to see your spoiling the grand kids.
