In our cabin, to cook on the stove, you must go outside, turn on the propane, boil the water, fix your tea or coffee or cocoa, go back outside, turn off the propane............. easy enough at 50 above, but kind of tough at 35 or 40 below zero!

Speaking of which, I got a great new mug from my sweetie for our anniversary. This isn't me, but it IS the mug!
