That thermometer in a spatula sounds perfect for Maple Syrup final boil off, too! Got a link for that?

Secondly, I LOVE ‘Mavis’ from One Hundred Dollars a Month. I need to check in and see how her budget is working out with all of this inflation!

We’ve had our second round of snow - exactly the same pattern as last week - 2” overnight which will most likely be gone by the end of the week, again. However, since my VW doesn’t ‘go in the snow’ Beau is going to drive me around for groceries and such again today. Yay! I love being chauffeured around - and as an added bonus, he even lets me sit in the CAB of the truck versus the truck bed, LOL!

Mom lives and dies by those casserole carriers. Smart move.

Good book choices.

And, no. Definitely NOT a Canary, LOL!

Looks like a great idea - hope it works!

I bought extra bags of fresh cranberries at Aldi’s & threw them in the freezer so all I need is 3 apples & an orange for the jam recipe. I have some pint jars & I think I will use them rather than the half-pint jelly jars - processing time should be the same. I should get 4 good pints with a little left over for mom to sample on her English muffin at breakfast.

We have ‘weather’ for next weekend - right now, no snow & I hope that’s going to hold up because I do not want to be driving up a winding, curvy, icy road over the Blue Ridge Mountains to get to the Valley family Christmas dinner on Sunday!
