So I made a large pot of soup, pumpkin, leek, chickpea, and macaroni. Very sturdy, proof against the cold.
And since I was out of any bread-like food, baked a batch of scone-like items, with golden raisins and a walnut on top.

So above is what it looks like. Below is what it feels like

Winter's afternoon around here.
I also had some high falutin' thoughts about white space in music and art and decided they could wait for now.
I haven’t made tea biscuits in ages. Yours look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThey're pretty good with a bit of apricot sauce.
ReplyDeleteI believe the second illustrator is also Ema Malauka.
ReplyDeleteStay cozy!
It looks so different, but thank you, I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteAfter a few false starts I tracked down and credited the artist of the second illustration. I feel better now!
ReplyDeleteLove the description, "Drone's eye view."
ReplyDeleteHappy Hygge!
We are in an Arctic deepfreeze here at the moment. Tonight it will be -38C, feeling like -50C with windchill. You bet everyone is staying home where it's warm! Tea and scone-like items sound great to me right now!
ReplyDeleteNow that's cold! Yes I hope you have supplies.
ReplyDeleteAbout the above, I've been in -25F which I just googled is -31.6C and that was very very cold. I can't even imagine it feeling like 50C. About scones, how I love them when properly done, as I'm sure yours are.
ReplyDeleteWe don't seem to be having winter this year, supposed to get to 80˚ today. The picture of the tea tray reminded me...how did the second dye bath turn out? Did I miss that post?
ReplyDeleteI haven't posted about it yet. It was fine, and I need to stitch the cloths then stamp them before I blog about it. Other things such as the holiday, overtook it for the moment.
ReplyDeleteTea biscuits haven't been on the menu here for awhile so I must jog Resident Chef's memory. Oddly, in our household they've always been called 'shortcakes'...not sure of the origin of the term in the family sense. Hasn't been terribly cold here as yet (knock on wood)!
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to make short cakes, with I think lard as the shortening. If you've got Scots or Northern English ancestors that might be the origin.
ReplyDeleteI imagine you're fine with not too cold yet, considering your long winter.
