We are currently having a heat wave. Today’s temperature high was 12°C (53.6°F) and normally it would be 5°C (41°F). [After reading more, I see that we’re warmer than Alabama! 😮] The rest of the week won’t be quite so warm, but we won’t be seeing any snow any time soon. On Saturday morning I got a text that a relative was in town - I knew they were coming, but didn’t know when. Ended up playing tour guide and did a lot of walking. So Sunday was recovering from Saturday, plus baking pumpkin for pies, and I made stuffed manicotti for lunch. Today I made the crust for pumpkin pies, plus nanaimo bars, and we ate chicken and dressing from the freezer. Glad today’s a holiday (Feast of the Immaculate Conception), because otherwise I wouldn’t have had time for the nanaimo bars. Still want to make Pfeffernüsse, but that’s next weekend’s baking task. Maybe. From last week’s MMP: > [@(Old) PJD strikes again in the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-pjd-strikes-again-in-the-mmp/1025286/263): > > The membrillo, I haz made it. In Switzerland this is called Quittenbrot (Quince bread, even though there is no flour in it), and I just had some last week from my coworker, who made it with quince from her garden. I had no idea it came from Spain. Yummy! > [@SCAdian](#): > > The base galley helped, cooking 52 birds to go with the 63 cooked at the clubhouse, over 300 pounds of potatoes, and 300 pounds of butternut squash donated from someone’s garden. 👏 There’s always the joke about having too much squash, but it sounds like this squash was very much appreciated. I actually make pumpkin pies with ½ butternut squash - they have more fiber, and they yield a lot more pulp. > [@dogbutler](#): > > But they were playing Christmas music, so I bought my stuff and fled, lest I endure Whammageddon. Got Whammed on Saturday while at the hair salon. They were playing Christmas music non-stop. At least they had a cheery fire scene on the television. Might warm up some manicotti for dinner and make an early night of it. Only 9 more days of work before Christmas break. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-its-gonna-snow-oh-no-oh-no-oh-no-a-winter-mmp/1025513)._
