Poor hubby and dogs just went out for a very soggy walk! I will make a fish stew tonight, unfortunately with frozen cod. I prefer fresh fish. It is safer since the frozen fish is sometimes defrosted and refrozen in bad cheap shops like where we got it. The salmon was no good. 

So it is our first real rain in weeks. November and december have been way colder and snowier than usual. We still have quite a bit of snow but that should melt in the next 24 hours.
