Storm Harper kept us in NY, unable to go to Ohio for our grandson's first birthday. We had plenty of warning and I knew we would be spending the weekend at home - I love to be snowed in if there is nowhere to go!
So, what did I do?
I read this book and planned our next vacation....
I made a little pico de gallo....
...and tossed it onto a Naan bread with some cheese....
...I baked The Sketchy Reader's pound cake....
...with almond extract....
...I made a few little quiches with leftovers I had in the fridge...
...adding my "secret" ingredient....
...and I tried to be creative...
....for the fun of it....
...and baked it in an enamel bowl....
...but it looked so much prettier served on a pretty dish...
...I washed a bunch of scarves by hand and organized them...
I could use one more storm to get a few more things done around here!!
And then I will be ready for SPRING!
