it snowed on Thursday and Sunday… and there was lots of blowing yesterday… my shoveler wasn’t able to get over, so tonight he met me at work and rode home with me…

he cleaned the paths and driveway after a short hand warming break…

  
looks great after it had all been tidied up… also happy to see that the solar lights are getting enough sunlight to turn on at night…

then we had supper together and a short visit before he took the bus home…

supper was the leftover chili which I had made for our family dinner last night, but the kids ended up staying at home…

I had listened to a show on chili making and decided to make this chili with kidney beans, mushrooms and some ground veggie burger with onion and diced tomato… used garlic, cumin, oregano and chili powder… just tossed things into the pot without measuring… 

came out very nice… he liked it, even when I told him it was veggie burger meat… he has quite an adventurous palate…  sent him home with a bag of red lentils… the last time we had dinner together he loved a red lentil recipe I’d made and wanted the recipe, lol… now he can make it at home for the family…

nice to spend time with him…
