wet heavy snow is good for the exercise log

It is also good for making a sledding hill useable on the first real snow of the year. It was only about 15 to 20 cm of snow here, which isn't much, but it was fairly dense snow. I did the shoveling in six different sessions over the course of the day, which added up to more than three hours of exercise. Add to that today's yoga, morning situps, and testing my sledding hill (fun!), and I have managed more than 4 hours of exercise today. However, in between most shoveling sessions I was curled up with a book and something to eat, so am also closing in on four hours of staring at either the phone or the computer screen. such is life.

In other news I made a yummy spaghetti sauce tonight. This time it contained 1 package of ground moose meat (which I browned in lots of butter), one can of whole tomatoes, one box of crushed tomatoes, one jar of tomato paste, some frozen black currants, some dried nettles, a couple of handfuls of finely chopped walnuts, quite a few thin slices of cheese, plus spices: dried garlic, onion, coriander, nutmeg, basil, rosemary, marjoram, thyme, tarragon, oregano, pepper, beet powder, paprika, and "spice pepper". I plan to bake some of it into bread rolls tomorrow, and freeze the rest. I don't eat meat often (and never meat-industry products), so I shouldn't be eating lots of it at a time.
