Around noon, after a leisurely morning, I went out and cleaned off the car, again, and shoveled around five inches of snow off our parking area. I have to admit it felt good to be outside and it was not that cold because the wind had abated for a bit. When I got in, I warmed up the baked potato soup for lunch, added some ham and cheese and had a tasty lunch. Just as I finished, our neighbor, Nancy, stopped by with a gift, a calendar they made of monthly sunrises photographs taken from their cottage. How cool, how nice.
Early afternoon, Evie got busy in the kitchen and put together our dinner, one we both looked forward to, not the usual New Year's Day dinner of pork and sauerkraut, but a pot roast, with lots of vegetables. The beauty of a pot roast on a day where we stayed in was that the house was filled with the aroma of the cooking pot roast. I managed to get a nap in mid afternoon and both Evie and I watched some TV and did some reading, waiting for dinner time.
Around 5:00, Evie decided some buttermilk biscuits would be good with our pot roast, so she quickly put flour, butter, and buttermilk together, cut out the biscuits and baked them. It was a good choice as I could have just had them with just the pot roast gravy and been happy. We were not sure what to watch on TV after the first quarter of the Rose Bowl game, so we decided on BROADCHURCH, a series we were midway through. Well, we really got into it, watched the final four episodes and finished bereft, empty emotionally. The series, each of the characters, really pulled us in, more than most. By the end, we empathized with four or five characters and the acting was so real we felt we were actually participants in the drama. This was the third season, equal if not better than the first two.
