It took 7 hours to get from GJ to Denver, instead of the typical 4 hours. I hear that the pass and tunnel were closed by the time we got home, and they’re still closed today! Boy am I glad we left in the morning.<\/p>\n
This morning my car wouldn’t start. Just before calling a towing service Ben got some advice from his dad. He said to use something called “heat,” an alcohol that breaks up crystals in your fuel. After waiting a while the car started! I’m so happy to fix it ourselves and not deal with a mechanic! With the car working we tried to walk around Crown Hill. Blowing snow and frigid wind chill forced us back after a quarter of the walk. Jem was prancing around happily like she didn’t even notice the wind that was freezing our teeth. <\/p>\n
Today I’m transferring all my photos and music to this new computer, doing laundry, dishes, and putting away presents. Ben wants a New England style beef stew dinner for his birthday tomorrow. I’m going to cook it in my new pressure cooker! Usually I would add potatoes and cabbage midway through the cooking time but with a pressure cooker I can’t remove the lid. So does that mean I need to cook them in a separate pot? Or let them get overstewed in the same pot as the meat? Does anyone know?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
