Cold Weather and Gumbo...

Well, it's been crazy weather here again this Winter.  High was 78F just two days ago now it's 36F.  Hubby and I have been cooking up a storm creating soups, stews and my favorite, Chicken and Sausage Gumbo.  The last two weekends have been devoted to just cooking.  Makes it so nice to not have to worry about fighting rain or the cold at lunchtime at work!  I just defrost and heat and we're good to go. 

It's tax time here in the States again.  I keep a hanging folder in my desk just for notices that arrive in the mail.  Things start arriving in the last quarter of the year and continue into February for us.  That also makes it easy to gather things together to take to our CPA.  No hunting or gnashing of teeth...just pull the folder and go.

 Libby just wanted to say hello...She's had a bit of a snuffly nose this week.  Needing lots of extra TLC from us.  
Well, guess that's about it for now.  Had a new privacy fence put in but that's really scraping the bottom of the barrel for news.  Hope you all have a wonderful and safe day!

Yum! Donna that looks so good. I haven't had gumbo since Mom. That was one of her favorite dishes. :)

Libby, bless her. I hope she gets better soon.

The gumbo looks good although it would probably be too hot for me. Sadly.

What a great way to warm up. It's hard for me to make a small batch of gumbo.

Yep. It's been crazy weather here in Texas. Libby is cute as always. So sorry she has the sniffles!

I've never had gumbo and after seeing that picture I want some :)

I feel your pain, Libby. I've got a stuffly nose too.:(

It's such a boring time of year, isn't it? I have no news either and I feel like I am dull and boring. I mean, the only excitement I have is blowing my nose and going to work.

I'm coming over for gumbo! Looks fab!

Libby is so darling. I love her. I haven't had much news lately either but we have had that crazy weather. Starting tomorrow there's a definite upward trend predicted, temperature-wise. Your gumbo sounds heavenly. xoxo

I'd love someone to cook for me!

As for tax time, urgh. Absolutely hate anything to do with tax and I tend to retreat into a shell and hope it'll all go away.

Hi to Libby!
