Almost -30C here this morning!
This is ice fog from Thursday afternoon.
It rained Thursday night, then froze & snowed, so my vehicle was a Popsicle in the morning!
I went to open the sliding door behind the drivers door, and it opened enough to pop the latch, and turn on the interior light!
I went & got a jug of water to thaw it out, and close it properly!
Those doors are froze up til Spring, or the weather warms up, whichever comes first!
Remember, quite a few posts ago(and if I wasn't so lazy this morning I'd find it for you!), I said that Ray would be late for his own funeral?!
Yesterday, I went to a funeral (second one this week kids!?).
Ray was reading the eulogy.
I sat with a friend, and one of the funeral directors comes & asks me where my husband is, as he's also one of the honorary pallbearer.
Me; "I don't know, he left home before me!?"
See, people, that's why we take separate vehicles!
I'm going to make Butter Tarts this afternoon!
Before you ask, here's the recipe, and these are TO.DIE.FOR!
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup walnuts (chopped) I use pecans
1 egg
1 cup raisins
Melt butter, add sugar & egg.
Then add raisins & nuts.
(I toss this all in my mixer, and mix it up!)
Fill 3" pastry shells. (Costco has good ones)
Just fill until even with the top, and bake at 350F for 20 minutes to 1/2 an hour.
It might be a little longer if your tart shells are frozen!
We're picking up the tread mill from my SIL this afternoon.
I CAN NOT walk with all the wildlife around!
You ever been chased by a moose?
It's not fun, and Shadow either barks like a rabid dog, or runs away!
Just so you know I AM doin stuff, here's a picture of my desk!
When I'm done scrap booking the pictures from Christmas, I might clean it off!
Gotta run!
Ta ta for now!

That photo of the frozen fog is really awesome. We have had frozen fog here and the "aftermath" is absolutely beautiful. It makes these beautiful, feathery streamers on the trees here. I also had to laugh at the visual of you running from a moose while your dog is hightailing it too! I have heard that moose can be aggressive. Crazy ass wildlife! LOL Best, Curt
Never in my life have I seen ice fog ... what a picture!
So, I was planning on staying in my craft all day to catch up on some unfinished project, but now I might have to spend some time in my kitchen ... I LOVE BUTTER TARTS and have not made any for a very long time. And I will be using your recipe, Gail. TFS.
