Snow Watch

4 or 5 degrees here. The odd burst of sun raises the temp slightly.
If it does snow.....and it will be a real novelty here if it does.....I am booked to build a snowman and push a sledge across the towans! I guess I'll know how fit I am then!
If it snows I will enjoy it
However, take care everyone and keep warm

Just made a huge batch of Beef Stew in case we get snowed in, I might bake some crusty bread to go with it.

 

Hmmmmmmmm....
Crusty bread

 

I'm cooking Beef Casserole & Dumplings made the proper way with Suet & SR Flour. My Grandaughter won't eat the meat but loves the Dumplings

 

It snowed for about 20mins this around 1ish. That’s a blizzard for us. The temperature has been hovering around 3*C today. That’s the coldest it’s been for a while.

@john558 I cooked us a nice beef Stew with dumplings the old fashioned way for Saturday and yesterday in my slow cooker and the onions,spuds,peas,carrots and parsnips were all homegrown on our allotment.The only shop bought stuff were the stewing steak,mushrooms,bisto gravy granules plus the suet and SR flour for the dumplings.It was most delicious

 

@Kandy that sounds and looks scrummy yummy tummy filling food

 

It went down well @BeeHappy Mr Kandy has been busy out in the kitchen late this morning and has filled my slow cooker with chicken and veggies (home grown veggies again including Broad and Runner Beans from the freezer)so will have to remember to get a photo of it tomorrow before he eats it all up

 

I can be there in about 6 hours!

 

My stew may well come in useful, we've just had heavy snow!

I like snow but have a 50 mile 'round trip to drive tomorrow, okay for me who's used to driving in snow, it's those that are not who are the problem/danger.

 

Today: central london had flurries of snow and sunshine on and off, so it all melted. Although a few heavy snowy showers, and hovering between -1 and 2 as the day went on.

Back home, there has been a few snow showers during the day, some has settled on pavements, roofs, shed tops and grass but has not melted. More flurries to come...

 

It’s not the prettiest plate of food I’ve ever produced. It tasted alright though.

Last Monday evening we ate at a local carvery. Today we had home stew and roasties. It looks like Monday is becoming the new Sunday.

 

Looks yummy Jack, just right on a cold winter evening. I'm feeling rather full at the moment
