      Fully enjoyed your pics and text from your horse ride in the snow @jordanscollected . I’ll look forward to pics from your rides with the other 5 horses who are waiting for their turn.  😉 😉

      The journey is the objective.

        Thanks @motojobobo There is one other horse I ride on occasion out there, an 18 year old one eyed horse named TJ. Dreamer, who I've been riding exclusively, has needed the exercise for weight loss and has shown amazing results. before then she was wearing a grazing muzzle which slows down the speed they can wolf down hay.

                -5f is no day to ride or wear the mad red, and instead we spend our time in the barn.
                Firefly and Nola eat grain and carrots and get out of the wind for a bit.
                The cats snuggle up to my wife. The chickens cluck around foraging for anything they can get their little beaks on. The horses outside eat to stay warm, and position themselves out of the wind if possible.

                  Superbowl Sunday we fired up the Wok and fried some wings. We also had Steamed pork buns and Lumpia (filipino egg rolls - not shown) needless to say it was a throwaway day as far as healthy eating

                  I recently was gifted some Szechuan Peppercorns from a coworker, so we've been focusing on our szechuan cuisine and all its mouth numbing goodness. Of all the Chinese styles of cooking, Szechaun is my favorite by leaps and bounds. However I've never been able to replicate is quite right, until i found the fermented red bean paste. It's critical in the replication of flavor and color along with the szechuan peppercorns.

                  The peppercorns look like this, and you toast them in a dry wok before grinding them.

                  We started out by making a quick szechuan fried rice with pork and chinese sausage, but i added Wayyyyyy to much szechuan peppercorn's and my wife thought she was having a medical emergency. she couldn't feel her face (which is no reference to The Weeknd's SB performance, or is it?)

                  Then we make the famous szechuan dish, Ma Po Tofu. It is flavored with a little ground pork and plenty of Red Bean paste.

                  Last we did a diced pork dish with Green Beans. I call it… Szechuan pork with green beans, and it is #3 with egg roll on my menu.

                  Here's "proof of Life" for the jacket. It's been below zero for awhile now, and going outside without proper winter gear is not advised.

                        I know I talk about the weather like an old man, but after only the 3rd January on record with no sub zero days, we are having the coldest stretch of days in almost 50 years. The mad red simply has no chance right now.

                        My side gig is as a private chef. Tonight was a 50th birthday party for 8 people. We served roasted leg of
                        Lamb with Chimichurri, scallops with preserved lemon buerre blanc, wild mushroom risotto, and roasted Green top carrots.

                            Lamb is my favourite meat I think… it all looks delightful.

                            As for the weather you’re in good company here. Blathering on about it is socially acceptable at all ages in Norway. We had a similar cold snap after the warmest first half of winter on record. Now we up to our armpits in the white stuff.

                                Not really. I don’t think they’d do so well with the terrain. Lots of snow scooters, although their use is limited by law to being working vehicles.

                                  Interesting that they need to be working vehicles.
                                  Recreational snowmobiling was always something to look forward to when I was living in the PNW.
                                  Logging roads were the best with their switchbacks and such.
                                  Frozen lakes were also great for just flat out speeding. Steel cleats on the track help:)

                                    ^ that is what it is like in Sweden. In Norway they are considered (by many, not all, but importantly the by government), to be damaging to nature, and the peace of the mountains. I. Addition they are seen as a danger to life and limb to the degree that they create an unfair risk to the Red Cross and other mountain rescue organisations.

                                      I don't see them here in Germany either, probably for the same reasons.
                                      yes they can be loud..so can chainsaws.
                                      yes they can be a danger to life and limb if you don't drive responsibly–but so can going outside to pick up the mail when its icy and slippery.
                                      As far as being an unfair risk to Red Cross and the like--Im sure that they do their fair share of saving lost hikers or skiers as well.

                                      I can only say...it was a total blast 😉

                                            On the way to the farm where our horses are kept is a wonderful farm that raises high end meat from highland cattle, pigs, and rabbits for meat, and Alpacas and sheep for wool and bees for money. They tap maple trees too for syrup.
                                            We are always greeted by their Great Pyrenees. The food is expensive but the quality is amazing.

                                            We put the blankets on the horses for tonight’s -50 wind chill.
