We were just about to leave to do our grocery shopping so that today could be full of cleaning and baking.  Ole went to lock the back door because he&#8217;d been out earlier.

I&#8217;m also baking a cheesecake right now to combat the fact that it just feels cold in here to me. Plus, it really is cold outside and won&#8217;t be getting much warmer for quite a while, a grim reality that has us waiting to install a new door until we can remove the outside steps to get the frame in.  I&#8217;ll keep trying to embrace the pink foam where my large window used to be, and I hope to stay warm in the kitchen while doing it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><br clear=\"all\"><strong>Monday \u2013 <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/southernfood.about.com\/od\/tilapiarecipes\/r\/bl70607a.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Oven-baked tilapia fillets with sour cream and dill sauce<\/a><br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><strong>Tuesday \u2013 <\/strong>Steak and eggs, <a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/recipes\/french-toast-bake-make-me-now\" target=\"_blank\">french toast casserole<\/a>, grapefruit<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><strong>Wednesday \u2013 <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/rasamalaysia.com\/orange-chicken-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\">Orange chicken<\/a>, steamed jasmine rice, <a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/recipes\/sauted-ginger-garlic-green-beans\" target=\"_blank\">ginger garlic green beans<\/a><br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><strong>Thursday \u2013 <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thepioneerwoman.com\/cooking\/2008\/01\/2008_the_year_of_the_pot_roast\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pot roast<\/a> cooked with carrots and dill new potatoes<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><strong>Friday \u2013 <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/recipes\/caramelized-onions-and-blue-cheese-and-orecchiette-oh-my\" target=\"_blank\">Caramelized onions and blue cheese orecchiette<\/a> with spring mix salads\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Recipes to look for here at <a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Food for My Family<\/a> this week: So, the kugelhopf, right.
