POTSTICKERS, PILE OF HOUNDS AND PHOUL WEATHER

That's right - phoul - phor the phonetically challenged types (no- it just kept with all the p's in the previous words).
This was my sad, damn cold winter day today:

I am often challenged by breakfast, mainly because i now try to eat better then i ever have and because most breakfast foods are bad for you: sausage, bacon (although i really do love bacon), bread, sweet breads. All that stuff really isn't very good for you, well if you compare it to what is: like fresh fruit and vegetables.  And think about it:  a full plate of bleached white flour, with milk and some leavening = pancakes! Yuck, plus add that syrup and butter to the top just to make it edible, double yuck!  For me, anyway.  So i have to be quite creative in my food choices.  And as i am thinking about this, maybe potstickers were not the best example in comparing bad breakfast foods to good breakfast foods, but i regress.  So i had potstickers for breakfast.  and they tasted good! : )

Nummy potstickers frying the pan - grease almost hit my lens!

Then the next part of my day, as i settled into write on the blog and check my Facebook pages (when really i should be thinking of more important things i should be doing like getting the tax stuff together or replacing the tile in the foyer - but i regress), i found a PILE OF HOUNDS on the couch.  Now this is nothing new really for my girls but i thought i would share the beauty:

Now the next part of my day belongs outside because dear old mother nature has sought revenge on MN again this year and there are to be windchill factors of -25 to -30 degrees tonight.  Yes, your heard me right - NEGATIVE 30!  All this does is create more work for me, because i can't leave the horses out there in that kind of weather when they don't have a three sided shelter in which to stand under.  So i will be bringing them in to their stalls tonight.  Ahhhh.... life on the farm.

This is the weather forecast for the next 12 hours, and yes that is a FEELS LIKE of -29 at 11 pm tonight folks!
