We have been out of television since Saturday. With the snow storm last weekend the Dish on the house got covered and we have no telelvision.

Between Friday and Saturday we got about 11 inches of snow. Looking out my sewing room window it is beautiful. I hate our new windows for taking photos out of them.

We like baked potatoes, but not the tough skin from when cooked in the microwave. I found these Potato Bags. They are GREAT! All you do is wash the potato, put in the bag, and bake. These bags keep the potatoes moist, and hot till ready to serve. I have also cooked corn on theContinue reading “Do you like baked potatoes?”
