It is cold!
It is only supposed to be up to 20 degrees here today.

I am smoking turkey legs and thighs in my stovetop smoker for Sunday supper right now. Jon's Dad bought them. He is crazy about them smoked. My husband doesnt want anymore turkey so I am going to smoke him some chicken wings. I'm not making much just some yeast rolls, mac and cheese and some roasted baby squash I got at Krogers the other day to finish out the meal. I got some peppermint ice cream at the store for dessert. My FIL loves peppermint.

Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday!

Yeah, it's cold here too. It was -4 when I got up. Where is that global warming I was promised? I'm just making pork chops tonight, rubbed with Chinese 5 Spice and something with potatos to go along with, not sure what yet.

Dang- You still got a "lake" there, mama? Heck- the geese here decided to fly a way from the water they'd been swimmin' in, and they took our frozen lake away with them! :):):) It's just after 2:00AM here in Illinois and the net says minus 4. UGH.

I tell ya- I experienced minus 50 in Alaska- but it's not wet and humid there like here in the lower-48... it's more arid and dry there, and as whacko as that sounds, just like with summer heat- that makes a complete world of difference!

It is around 10 degrees this morning.

We went to my fil's yesterday for Sunday supper. I made him 4 fat turkey thighs and 5 turkey legs smoked. I honestly dont think I have made that man anything he likes as well as those. Usually after the holidays he growls if you mention turkey anything. Jon and I had a few smoked chicken wings since we both are tired of turkey. I am allergic to coal which my father in law heats with so my asthma/allergies has had me up most of the night.
Today we are having occasional snow showers - cold but no accumulation. The kids are back in school today. Cold bus stops!

My brother gave me a 7 1/2 pound pork butt with the bone in yesterday. I usually just make them in the crockpot and shred them but if anyone has a recipe for it I would love to have one.
I got 12 portobello caps at Krogers a few days ago that I smoked for half an hour last night. I am going to make a smoked portobello mozzarella pizza today.

Hope everyone has a good Monday and stay warm! Mama I hope you are feeling better.
