Hello Lovelies!
It’s so windy today. Snow drifting everywhere and we are back to -30ish C again.
Been living in the north for the past 11 years, there is this teasing week always, every end of January, where we would get warmer temperature for a couple of days or up to a week, in the middle of Winter, where temperature would get up to +7 C, feel like Spring, everyone hopes are up, and then boom, back to -30 C. Then Winter continues for several more months 🤣
It’s like Winter saying, “got you real good, didn’t I” 🤣🤪🤣🤪🤣
Anyhoo!
Back to the pilaf!
