Imagine my surprise when I encountered this scene while driving to my office this morning.
Cold and dry. It was a mere 31° this morning as I drove to my office at 7 AM. It was very dry, however, and there was no ice on Mr. Nitro's windshield. Yesterday morning, it was necessary to wait for 5 minutes while Mr. Nitro's defroster melted the carapace of ice from his windshield. Looking at all that ice made it seem much colder than it was.
For dinner last evening, I made a simple, hearty dish that is a favorite of ours: I placed a half-head of cabbage (cut into 2" wedges, several small red potatoes (quartered), a small red onion (cut into 6 sections), a handful of baby carrots, and a package of Johnsonville brats in a large Corning casserole dish. I seasoned this with sea salt, ground black pepper, dried parsley flakes, and red pepper flakes. I cooked this in the microwave for 18 minutes on power level 5. Laura stirred the ingredients and cooked for another 8 minutes on power level 5. At the table, we used spicy brown mustard as a condiment for the vegetables and brats. It is a delicious, hearty, and very easy-to-make meal.
UPDATE - 8 AM: I received a surprise visit at my office from Pastor Rob Kee—a very dear friend and former pastor of Harvest Christian Center. What a wonderful surprise it was to visit with my dear friend and brother in Christ! 11 months ago, he answered a call from the Lord and passed the mantle to Pastor Mike Sharp and moved to Lompoc, CA, where he is now pastor of Riverview Church of God. It was a glorious visit!
