When You Are Snowed In

Home bound
early morning
16 bean soup
with an addition of onion, carrots, celery and chopped ham.
is simmering in the over 50 year old 2 1/2 quart crock pot.
It was replaced with a larger one through the years that was given away
 and another small one so upscale looking but I took this one off the shelf
yesterday - my favorite
Warmer weather and rain arriving this weekend
the pantry needs to be restocked....

Checked to see if ingredients are on hand,
they are - so may make my favorite
bran muffins
later in the day...

    Such a pretty crock-pot. I wish I had enough space for one on my limited kitchen work surface - but after the kettle and the small blender there is no more space!

    Looks like you are taking good advantage of a snowed-in-day. We've had many this year. What a winter this has been!

    50 years old? Really?
    Bean soup and bran muffins! Sounds VERY good - especially on this bitterly cold day.

    Rebecca, purchased this when children were toddlers - yes, old like this one :)
    Sandra, my downscaled cottage of 1200 sq ft does not have the space as in past homes. Wish I had designed kitchen different with open shelves.
    Pienosole, I seem to be settled
    and then think of what if - current or water problem - so far fine...

    Those beans are really beautiful...and of course, healthy.

    A walk down memory lane - I remember my old Rival of the same size! Mine worked perfectly, too, and then I gave it away when I got a larger one. I like the larger size since I like to freeze for future meals. I didn't realize you parked your truck out in the open. Guess you will be carrying some snow around until it warms up! Stay warm and safe.

    Perfect food for the weather, Ernestine. It is "snowed-in" time here, too. Being still in knee replacement recovery mode, I cannot go out, either, but it is fine. I crave fresh air but can open the door and get some lovely deep breaths. Ice everywhere. Hope yours melts out soon.
    Falling is my main deterrant, as I know it is for you. Plants and little animals are warm under the snow and it will bring us a beautiful spring. Savor those wonderful treats. I really love the look of them all.

    It really does all seem perfect for a cold winter day.
