This weekend was all about blizzard prep/management. It was supposed to hit late Saturday and go through Sunday bringing high winds and up to 12″ of snow. So I planned accordingly.
First thing Saturday I got out for a 10-miler in balmy, calm-before-the-storm 30-degree temps. This was one of those, serene, wonderful runs where it seems all the world is at rest except me and nature. So peaceful and amazingly beautiful.
After a requisite stock-up at the grocery store I settled in the kitchen.
First we baked some of these. Well kind of like these except ours had oatmeal in there. And toffee bits. And some chopped almonds for crunch. And of course they were gone long before I could get a pic.
These were up next. But given how fast the m&m cookies disappeared…
…and that I came upon this sitting in my nightstand drawer the other day,
I opted to postpone making them… indefinitely.
So I changed gears and dealt instead with these two bad boys that have been glaring at me for awhile now.
Instead of more cookies, I crafted a fine squash soup.
The kids wouldn’t go near it. The Caveman choked it down because he knows he should. Squash are so not his bag though.
This is his bag. To be fair there are some really tasty holiday spice Terra chips out now.
So the blizzard came and on Sunday Thing 1 and I trekked out in 50+ mph, falling temps and lots of blowing snow to see the Nutcracker with her Girl Scout troop. Good times.
