Snowed in.

I’m beginning to dislike this weather…

How deep is it?

Well… it’s about as deep as a Buick. …

So.. we’ve been stuck in the house for the past few days… I made some awesome chicken for dinner the other night… and made some bagels this morning, that you can see over at the cooking blog… but other than that… there hasn’t been much going on… a lot of Netflix… Virginia had to work from home today… and while she was doing that… I played around with some water droplet photos….


So.. that’s all that’s been going on here… we’re starting to get back into the swing of things with the Spring semester.. but this weather keeps being a pain.

Quick kitty update….

So… just had to share these for all of the people who don’t like cats that follow our blog…

Look at how cute OC is….

And grace got in on the action…. so.. 2 cats… 1 rope…

…the resulting tug ‘o war…..

So… for the people who don’t like cats… tell me that these two aren’t just precious…

Beginning of January …

Well, the first big news from January is related to the cooking blog… we got a new mixer….

It’s an amazing machine… 575 watts of pure kitchen bliss…

Then… we’ve been having some interesting weather… below is Wednesday of this week…

You can see that there’s some remaining snow.. but for the most part.. everything is clear… you can even see the ground!

Above is Friday morning…

And the above is this morning… right now, we have probably right around a foot on the grill… … you might be wondering why I would care about what’s on the grill… well.. the answer to that is quite simple…

That doesn’t tell you anything? How about this one?

Beginning to see it?

Grace knows what’s in all of those maroon boxes…

Yes… that’s a road of meat…

But, as you could see above… the grill is… well… buried in snow. While it is tempting to go ahead and stand out there and grill…the possibility of frostbite can’t be overlooked… plus there’s the issue of the ability of propane to flow in artic temperatures… so… I think grilling is not an option… but I’ve got a few filets thawing in the fridge for dinner tonight… so.. it should be ok.. and there are worse situations to be in than being stuck in the house with a freezer full of meat.

We’ll try to keep warm… and full of meat.
