It’s been warming up for the past few days, which means I had plenty of company while doing my rounds this morning. Butterscotch, as usual, wanted to be carried, while three others followed along.
Then Keith caught up to me. :-D
This is how he asks to be picked up.

The rear brakes were replaced, and this is what it looked like before.

I say experimenting, because it’s not unusual for these recipes to include ingredients that are no longer available, hard to find, unknown or even extinct. Plus, they often don’t include a lot of information, either because it was assumed the reader already understood what was needed, or it was simply technologically impossible for the time period.
Thankfully, that’s not as much of a difficulty for recipes from more recent time periods.
Not too long ago, I discovered a YouTube channel called Townsends, featuring all things 18th century. I highly recommend it! I was intrigued by this video on how to make Mushroom Ketchup.
Yes, you read that correctly! Mushroom. Ketchup.

I was quite surprised to see a large number of files on the new camera, a couple of nights ago.
It turned out we had a lot of traffic going past it that night!
Continue readingOh, finally! My mom’s car is DONE!
Also, as I didn’t have to go anywhere early in the morning, it was actually daylight when I started my rounds, and I could get some photos. I always start with bringing fresh water to the cats, and topping up their food bowls.
Beep Beep was, of course, just sssstttttaaaarrrrvvviiinnnngggg…. :-D

But also beautiful.
We warmed up enough for the trees to be covered in frost that is still there. Then we got a gentle snowfall. Today was bright and sunny, the trees looked like picture postcards, and everything was sparkling.
It all looked quite lovely.
The girls and I also arranged a surprise for my husband, after he had gone to bed.

Today has been a busy day on the phone, dealing with my mother’s car.
The mechanic called me (the first time) about the tires and the noise in the back.
Note that I said “tires” – plural.
