JIM WELLER Said to DAVE DRUM about weather

JW>  JW> Tonight's forecast is for -43 C plus 20 km/hour winds which
JW>  JW> gives us a windchill factor of -60 C or -76 F

JW> Thankfully the forecast was in error; it was only -39 with 10
JW> km/hour winds. That's the difference between manageable and having
JW> to take extraordinary measures to keep the house and car
JW> operational.

Wind chill *does* *not* affect machinery as to making it colder than the
ambient temperature. The "wind chill" numbers measure the apparent 
effects of the wind driven cold on flesh. But, you probably knew that 
already.

JW>  JW> post modern industrial chic

JW>  DD> There have been a couple mid-scale venues in this area which
JW>  DD> have  decorated their ceilings with turn-of-the-20th century
JW>  DD> stamped metal  panels.

JW> Those panelled ceilings look pretty cool.

That U$3000 trash pile I looked into buying had stamped metal ceilings 
in the original parts of the house. At least two rooms worth would have 
had to be replaced -- but, the costs of that were not figured into the 
refurb costs by the time the total had reached U$30K.

I agree, they are pretty neat. If I ever quit living in a tin can I may 
look into using some to do a ceiling - or, to do the perimeter of a room
as an accent & leave the vast expanse as smooth, white plaster/drywall.

      Title: Fire Roasted Tomato Bisque
 Categories: Soups, Poultry, Vegetables, Chilies
      Yield: 7 servings

      2 tb Oil
      1 c  Onion; diced
      1 cl Garlic; minced
    1/2 c  Carrots; thin sliced
    1/2 c  Celery; thin sliced
     28 oz Can fire-roasted tomatoes
      1     Chipotle; fine minced
            +=IN=+ 
      1 tb Adobo sauce
      4 c  Chicken stock
      2 tb Tomato paste
      1 c  Greek yogurt

  When the wind chill is five below, any recipe with the word
  "fire" in it sounds like a plan. This spicy, smoky soup
  lives up to its name by warming you up (plus, it'll clear
  your sinuses right out).

  Heat oil over medium heat in a medium-size stockpot. Add
  onion and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir until onions are
  translucent (about 5 minutes).

  Add the garlic, carrots, and celery, and cook an additional
  three to five minutes.

  Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil.

  Add the chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, chicken stock, and
  tomato paste, and bring back to a boil.

  Cover partially, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer,
  stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender
  (about 20 minutes).

  Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.

  Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth.

  Whisk in the Greek yogurt until fully incorporated, and warm
  until the soup is heated thoroughly but not simmering.

  Salt & pepper to taste.
