Gloomy.
If you look it up in a dictionary, you might see a photo of our weather these past three days: cold, windy, rainy.Gloomy.
My cold-fighting weapons include:
A big, warm bowl of Five Minute Chocolate Oatmeal.
And: fleece pants, fluffy blankets, and hot showers. (Hot showers are the best!)
Batman’s cold-fighting weapon:
The Costco heatdish. I swear, my dogs are like moths. If there is a heat dish or fireplace lit, they will gravitate towards it and reuse to move until someone turns it off. (Batman and Henry still live at my parents’ house. I miss them! They’re close, though, so I visit often.)
When cold, eat… ice cream??
Yesterday morning, the deluge of rain temporarily gave way to a light mist, allowing me to bundle up and go for a run. After breakfast and a hot shower, I actually felt a bit warm and, oddly enough, was craving ice cream. Tomorrow’s post will be for my ice cream recipe. So, to keep warm while eating the ice cream, you might want to invest in a Costco heatdish of your own.
Batman’s not sharing his.
It has not been gloomy at all down here-80* every day and sunny, clear skies. I’m actually wishing for a bit of gloomy-grey weather so it can feel like the holidays more!
Those pictures are too cute! My dog weighs 100 pounds and about 20 of the pounds are fur, so he loooooves cold weather. Hates the heat.
A Heat Dish! I remember when HEAB used to post pics of hers. I have a heating plate I use for brewing kombucha. Sort of like a dish but not quite. Yours looks warmer and toastier 🙂
Haha Batman is too cute!
Hot showers are the best when there is a heater going in the bathroom! I too gravitate towards heat. Maybe that’s why I love to bake 🙂
hehe, I’ve totally been taking hot showers every night to warm up from this darn chilly air 🙂 They really do help when you’re feeling crappy too.
Your puppy is so cute! I love the little furball! It’s been rainy and gloomy here too. Ive had quite a few bowls of chocolate oats myself and lot of tea. It snuggle up in sweatpants weather for sure.
Hahah I like the dog photo shooting :)) he really enjoys it.
Adorable!
I have one of those heat dishes! I freeze way too easily so I have that thing on all the time, lol!
Tidbit: I want a cat soo badly.
Your pups are adorable, as always! Our cats like to sleep on the heat registers! Haha, we eat ice cream in winter too! It’s weird, yes, but delicious. And sometimes followed by a hot shower or bath. 🙂
cute dogs:) this recipe looks really really good! i’m gonna try it soon. katie, my birthday’s coming up and i want to bring a treat to school for people to try. and i want it to be vegan and i want them to see vegan food isn’t gross. I haven’t tested all your recipes, so can you suggest one you think they might like? thanks!
Ooh happy (early) birthday! My chocolate bar pie is always a hit with omnivores (even people who hate tofu, like my ex boyfriend lol). Or, if you want to be less fancy, the flourless chocolate chip cookies get good reviews. Or the fudge babies!!! 🙂
thanks:) they all look so good. i think i’m gonna make the flourless chocolate chip cookies. thank you so much. and who doesn’t like tofu? so many people tell me they don’t like tofu but i LOVE it!
