It is a flipping - 45 C or -49F this morning It is the gross cold now. These are the days I detest! All the vehicles started this morning and everyone got to where they needed to be - so it's allllllll good. But it's stupid cold. I did go through the drive thru and wouldn't take my mittens off. So I had to grab my tea with 2 hands little toddler My fingers don't work/move if they get too cold. I would never be able to work outside in the cold. Even handling cold things from the freezer makes my hands ache.
I was going to bake the last of my stuff last night, but supper was late, as son's car battery died. So there are all the boys outside in the dark in -40 temperatures changing out a battery So quick change of plans on what I was making...and whipped up a quick stew to help warm them up again. There were no fresh buns which is what I try to have when I make a stew or soup..,.so it was just regular bread with whatever they wanted on top. So by the time I got supper made, they came in to eat it, and I had it cleaned up, it was nearly 8:00. I didn't want to mess up the kitchen again with baking. So tonight, I'll do what I can and call it good!
Not much to do here today. VERY slow day. It is mostly sitting around with lots of chin waggling going on. It's a shorter week - I'm off Friday to head out for our Xmas celebrations.
We also have that family friend who always does the same things as us - only better!!!! Thank goodness we don't see them often - as I just can't be around people like that!
Your croissants sound AMAZING!!!! I like to bake and am stepping out of my comfort zone to learn new things. I have the time to do that now. Take my time, enjoy the process of it and even if they don't turn out - I'm pretty sure it will be edible and won't get wasted.
Well, I should find the papers that should be on my desk.
Have a great day everyone!

Yahoo!!!! You are almost there!!!! I hope you have a great vacation. You deserve it. You have worked hard on your studies and I am sure you will enjoy the break!I am so ready for our vacation. Just 2 more work days to get through.
I know you won't miss the cold lol. This cold is downright yucky. But it only lasts for a few days then goes to more tolerable levels. But until it leaves, I'm a grumpy gal.I`m sorry we sent you our cold blast! We won`t miss it.......lol......
Ah, a fellow baker who understands ingredients!! Croissants are time consuming, takes longer than Danish Pastries, but so worth it. I wish I`d gotten a picture before they disappeared, but they were perfectly puffed up and yes, buttery......I do only use an expensive butter and it`s worth it, so hope you can find a good one to use.
We still have Bugles over here, I`m not a fan particularly, but I do love BBQ Poppables and we can`t get them anywhere now! Why is it always the things we love that go.

Is this your last day of commuting for the year? If it isHo Ho Ho, it’s that Taco Tuesday today. A commuting one, as no need to wait until Thursday, to drive in the rain, though cool enough could also be snow in there. What? At least last day of the year working, will be teleworking.
Well, I should find the papers that should be on my desk.
Have a great day everyone!
