the fight between warm vs. cold

So I am usually a peaceful person, I would vote yes for world peace any day! But I have recently took up fighting. I have now enlisted in a fight that involves any way to keep warm as the high for today is 60 and it is only going to get colder here in Utard. I have started to come up with many battle tactics to keep an ol hot Arizona girl warm in this cold Utard weather. Here are some of my battle tactics: big cup of hot chocolate, 5 count them ...5 blankets on my bed, Ugg boots, broiling a cheese crisp in the oven for lunch just so I can stand in front of it to warm up, and long steaming baths. A great battle went on today between me and the cold. The battle plan today was to make a nice warm pot of vegetable stew. Here is how that fight turned out:


Here is my vegetable stew (a.k.a. secret weapon) cooking away!


The finished product. It was yummy and warmed me all up!
notice the warm steam coming up...and my warm biscuit I made to go with


My cooking mess...After all I am still Lyndee the world's messiest cooker and eater
(Battle fields have been known to get pretty messy if you know what I mean)


Good thing my cook book had plastic protectors over the pages!
(every good battle needs a protective shield)



Alan's healthy cookies for desert(I need to think of a warmer desert)



Warm Slippers I wore in the making (every solider needs a uniform)

The warm stew battle was well fought today. May the battle between warm and cold continue. If you have any ideas how to stay warm..... Sargent Lyndee would gladly take them. COLD YOU ARE GOING DOWN!!!!!
