So, Silva, how do you warm your body and soul in the cold? And make that blue emoji face smile?! : )We got a covering over night, and it's in the 20's and windy

Love Cleveland! I'm a member of the Legacy Society at the Cleveland Museum of Art--love University Circle, and Little Italy! Visit when I can, and stay at the Glidden House. Walking that area is SO cool. : ) And ginger cookies sound awesome--ginger is a good mood lifter, too. Yum!!Search for "cold face"
I came home and made ginger cookies! My one son requested them and not a big spice fan. If it were just for me I'd have used a LOT more ginger!
I'm in Cleveland, Ohio BTW
My sister was going to visit, and we were going to go for a walk, but we canceled because of icy conditions and this frigid weather.
Really cold in Pittsburgh, 10 degrees, now! But, I spent a cozy day petsitting for a friend, hanging out with her Norwegian elkhound, Geo. Sweet boy! Very cuddly, and likes massages. Had a hot cuppa--Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice--spectacular! Good for a fasting day. Keep warm, all! Merry Almost Christmas!! : )It's raining now and the wind is picking up. Quite a miserable gloomy day.
Yeow! That is COLD!!! Where are you, if I can ask? I'm headed out for my first (short!) walk of the day, in 16 degrees. At least it's clear, in North Pittsburgh, with a pretty waning Moon. And no wind! The snow is now mostly confined to the lawns and bushes--beautiful, sparkling in the moonlight... Maybe a white Christmas this year. : )
I'm in Connecticut. We turn the heat off at night. We have all electric heat and Connecticut is one of the highest for electricity rates. I think we're second highest in the country. It's absurd.Yeow! That is COLD!!! Where are you, if I can ask? I'm headed out for my first (short!) walk of the day, in 16 degrees.

KLS52, you are a brave soul!! Do you live there by choice, or are you a native? I'm a Pittsburgher, born and fed! Changing my food works, but, I love my house and neighborhood, so here I am! My house is 66 degrees, and that's cold enough. We have natural gas, but, the bills still go up in Winter. Especially this year. I walk 2 1/2 hours a day, every day, so that 66 degrees feels like paradise when I come in! How about you? Any outdoor stuff? : )I'm in Connecticut. We turn the heat off at night.

Brrrrrr! I could not do that, lol. More power to ya. I try to save in other ways, with lights and appliances and whatnot. I have natural gas heat, which does get pricey in the winter, but I'm such a wuss with the cold.This is my early morning indoor temp. It's ridiculous!!
Bedroom and living room.

I guess we can just try to enjoy our hot cuppas all the more--they're even better in the cold. So is baking anything--the whole house warms up and smells good!

It's chilly here this morning. It was in the single digits when I got up. At least the sun is out.
Indeed! I'm having coffee now, and pretty soon I'll be making sugar cookies. Merry almost Christmas to you as well.I guess we can just try to enjoy our hot cuppas all the more--they're even better in the cold. So is baking anything--the whole house warms up and smells good!

Mmmmmmmm! I can smell those sugar cookies from here... How do you make them vegan (if you do)? : )Indeed! I'm having coffee now, and pretty soon I'll be making sugar cookies. Merry almost Christmas to you as well.
I do. I found a really good recipe years ago that never fails. I use vegan butter in place of the dairy version and non-dairy milk (mostly almond milk) in my version.Mmmmmmmm! I can smell those sugar cookies from here... How do you make them vegan (if you do)? : )
Almond milk I like, but I need to check out the vegan butter. I've had vegan cheese, and wasn't impressed. I guess some brands are better than others... : )I do.
