Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 6:00 a.m. in "The City."

The current temperature is 32° under cloudy skies. Today's high is forecast to reach 35° with a 90% chance for additional precipitation. In fact, it is snowing right now. Since we are at the freezing mark now, as the day wears on that snow should just become rain. The sun will rise today @ 8:08 a.m. and set later @ 5:44 p.m.

There is also a Small Craft Advisory from St. Joseph to Manistee in effect until 10:00 a.m. today.

We did it. Collectively we went through that kitchen cabinet and moved things around and packed some things for donation. We found out a long time ago that if you don't need something, and if you don't want to have a garage sale, you can re-purpose things for young people just starting to set up housekeeping or let people who can use an item get it and use it at a negligible cost. At any rate, the cabinet is now organized. Now, on to the mud-room.

I finished two out of three crossword puzzles yesterday. I have one more to finish along with the one that will come with today's edition of the Grand Haven Tribune.

Mary made our lunch yesterday using the last of the rye bread we had in the breadbox and some of the vegan pepperoni that I had made the day before. The sandwiches were accompanied by a side salad. She used some Thousand Island dressing that she made just before the meal on the andwiches and her salad.

I asked if there was a recipe she followed for the Thousand Island dressing and she said, "No, just vegan mayo, ketchup, and some dill relish." Apparently, there are no set amounts for the ingredients, just lots of mayo and then just enough of the other two ingredients so that the color looks right and it isn't too chunky. As a baker, I can't work like that. Baking is more precise.

Dinner was Tater Tots™ with the last of the vegan bratwursts. Now I have to make something else. By the by, I like my Tater Tots™ with malt vinegar.

Otherwise, not much was happening. The fur-children didn't get a walk and if today's forecast is accurate, that won't be happening today either.

Today should be another pedestrian kind of day. We have an appointment at the chiropractor this afternoon and that's it on our official agenda.

I'll continue reading, do some cooking, and take time to play in my studio. Ciao.
