February refused to bow out gracefully,

 and hit us with this...

So we fought back valiantly with a little of this...

 apple oatmeal cookies (yes - I know we eat a LOT of oatmeal cookies around here!)

 

(homemade chicken stock for the freezer)

 

 (I sewed up some new bread bags from dishcloths to accompany ...)

 

 Mike's delicious 10 grain bread .  Oh My God - yum!

 

 

And then of course - plenty of hot chocolate

 and then finally...  I dug into my freezer for my summer vegetables.

 hoping to capture a little summer lovin'

in a nice big bowl of Garden Vegetable soup!

Take That February!

Don't let the door hit you on your way out!
