115: Burritos for dinner

(A few ingredients.)

M and I teamed up today to make Four Grain-and-Vegetable Burritos for an early dinner.  It was an early and late birthday celebration dinner.  Early for M (his birthday is tomorrow) and late for me (mine was last month).

We’ve made these burritos in the past.  They are a little labor intensive, making it easier and faster if we team up to put it all together.  It’s more fun that way, too.

(Prepped veggies.)

Remember that resolve I made to sharpen my knives occasionally?  I’m thinking of taking it back.  After years of using dull knives, I’m finding the sharpened variety to be dangerous.  I managed to slice into my thumb while cutting the top off of a leek.   Ouch!

(Ready for toppings.)

It was worth the bloodshed.  The burritos were fabulous.  Delicious.  Really, really yummy.  And filling.  Very filling.  You should give them a try.

Today’s Outdoor Adventures

It warmed up today, into the 30’s.  But we had 25 mph winds to go with the warm-up and that made it seem as cold as when it was in the 20’s.  There was some thawing of the snow on top of the pond and the ice in the creek.

I did not ski today.  I intended to.  But M went out early and said it was pretty brutal.  The wind created big drifts in some places.  Bare spots in other areas.  We were supposed to get another 3 inches or so of snow today but the prediction turned out to be wrong.  I think it snowed heavily for about five minutes this morning and that was it.

(Dipping in the stream.)

That’s about it from the Bogs for today.  I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend.

Oh.  Right.  One more thing.  I redecorated ye olde blog.  Whaddya’ think?
