       "Equal and Opposite Reactions is a rollicking good yarn about complex relationships and emotions in middle-class American culture. The author has created an incredibly funny romantic comedy, which transcends the ubiquitous romantic triangle and expands it into a quadrangle, complicated by the interweaving of relationships between the children of the principal characters.  Cleverly plotted, twists and turns, and exceptionally well written, this part drama and part slapstick comedy is a tour-de-force. Bravo Patti."
- R. Bruce Logan, "The Narrative Arc"

​FIRST AID FOR THE POLAR VORTEX

Picture
    At the moment there's not a whole lot we can do about the invasion of the polar vortex (see yesterday's post, "The Complete Idiot's Guide To The Polar Vortex) ― except to make sure from now on to vote only for candidates who understand the science and effects of climate change and who care about our  environment and our well-being and not just about themselves and their own political careers.
     But in the meantime, to help get you through these cold, cold polar vortex days, you can have a nice hot bowl of good potato soup, 
a great recipe for which I happen to have.
Picture
​     When my kids were young, on cold winter days ― those were the good old pre-vortex days ― they could have taken or left a mug of hot chocolate.
Picture
     What they wanted after coming in from playing out in the cold was potato soup, and a snow day wasn't a snow day without a pot of it on the stove.
    And so over manys the cold snowy winter I mastered the art of potato soupery.
    Actually it turned out that there wasn't a whole lot to master, and it's a pretty quick fix.
    So here's my recipe for potato soup, feel free to use it to get you through the polar vortex until the weekend when the vortex is projected to whirl back up and away to the North Pole where it belongs.


​    Quick Potato Soup
    6 cups of diced potatoes
    4 tablespoons of butter
    1 diced onion
    1 teaspoon of salt, or to taste
    4 cups of milk
    Shredded cheddar cheese
Picture
Picture
      Place the first four ingredients in a pot, add just enough water to cover the ingredients.
      Boil until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.  Add the milk and heat, but don't boil.
      Ladle the soup into a bowl then top with the cheddar cheese.

      Enjoy, stay inside if you can, and when the time comes, vote right ― I mean, correctly! 8)

Polar Vortex is happening soon, that's why everyone was advised to be prepared. We all know the situations that are happening every time Polar vortex happens. The coldness is literally unbearable and the idea of finding the sun has become too desperate! Bu instead of complaining with the situation, it would be smarter if we will know how to handle the situation! Of course, you need to outsmart the weather. If you do that, polar vortex wouldn't stress you that much!
