Freezing More

Hello, We like to use our back porch when we cool soup. I made a batch yesterday, put the left overs on the porch, forgot to set the timer and by this morning it was frozen quite solidly. Oops! The enclosed porch is a nice addition to a refrigerator or sometimes to a freezer, but it is good to remember that we have put things out there. I thought of the soup this morning, brough it up, and put it in the refrigerator. Hopefully it will be thawed enough to use for our evening meal. We often used the deck in Slovakia if we needed a bit more refrigerator space. It was not quite as cold there in terms of low temperatures, but it still was prudent to pay attention when putting something out there. It was often very cold when waiting for a bus in Bratislava. Sometimes it seems that it went all the way to my core. I know someone who was from Minnesota, but living in Bratislava. They also commented on how penetrating the cold was. Perhaps the humidity was higher making it more noticeable. We did have -4 degrees F. this morning. The sun is out and it looks lovely out there. I will walk to church this afternoon when it should be a bit warmer. At least now it does not look to be much wind. Paula
