This is a whopper of an icicle.
It is about 7 feet long and formed at the mouth of the scupper which dumps into the cistern.
Teddy wants to chew on it. She loves icicles.
This one is too big for you puppy!
So sad.
Sorry about not posting yesterday. I was so busy cooking for the shelter that I completely forgot to put up a post.
This is such an interesting adventure in cooking. I found heads of cauliflower on sale for 99 cents. I bought 6 big ones and made cauliflower soup. 45 quarts of it.
And I baked lots of rosemary bread.
To stretch the soup out, I added small pasta shells to it. It actually improved an already great recipe. You can find it on my sidebar.
Cucumbers were also on sale..3 for 1.00. I made 8 quarts of cucumber salad. Apparently the shelter loves dishes like this since they are often short on fresh vegetables.
I also made bags of candied almonds.
I was told yesterday that Jesus is working through my hands, I have a special place in heaven, I should open a restaurant and Jesus is sending golden stairs to heaven for me. I asked them to tell Jesus I can wait a while for that last blessing. It's a lot of Jesus stuff to lay on an old pagan like me but I get the message!

-grin- Yup, the message is the same. :-)))) And it's all good.
Who-hooooo for the long icicle. We never got really long ones. They got just so far and... pooooof. Oh well, there's lots of winter time for long icicles left!
I can imagine how happy they are at the shelter getting all that food, when times are tough they usually are much tougher for the poor.
Have a great day!

You have done a great job working with what you find on sale! Such a great service!
It's been snowing nearly all day here in Istanbul so I'm hoping to find some icicles like yours tomorrow when I'm out and about!
The soup and everything else looks wonderful. You must be getting quite a physical workout with all the stiring & mixing things up. How do you manage to get all of that food in & out of the car each time you make a run to the shelter?
You are doing a tremndous job. I wish I could get there and at least wash all the dishes after you are done working your magic.
Cucumber salad sounds so good, and what a great price. Your wonderful nourishing food will be so good for the people who need it most.
Yay for you!
Whats your almond recipie?xx
