Weekly Menu Planning December 2023

Actuals & planned for Dec 18 week, cooking for 2 in MN. Where we’ll have a no-snow Christmas. A FB site (MN Weather) put together a clever graphic with counts of MN Christmas snow-cover over the past 70 years. Memorably for me, 1988 was one of no-snow. We’d gotten a riding lawnmower in the summer and a snowblower in the Fall. Neither got much use the first year due to drought conditions. This year, I got a new snow shovel in November…
