We awoke this morning to lots of snow falling. I let the resident
college student decide, and she went for Apple Crisp pancakes (the
other option was chocolate pancakes from a yummy mix I got from
Santa).

Later this afternoon when the snow stops, we will have over an hour of
shoveling to do. Unfortunately they say that is when the wind will be
picking up, which will make shoveling futile to a degree. The worst
will be the apron of the driveway where the doggone plows have been
throwing snow for hours.

Supper will be chicken and dumplings.

It's too bad this didn't happen a day later; I would have enjoyed a
three-day weekend

We got 3 inches dumped in a few hours on Friday. Heavy, wet snow. It's
gone now. All day yesterday I heard the crashing of snow falling off the
tree limbs around my apartment (and the occasional limb, too). That was
enough snow excitement for me Wish I had some chicken; I'd make chicken
& dumplings even without the snow!

I am glad this blizzard happened on a weekend. Here at Temple, the
administration seems to allow snow days only about once a decade.
Hopefully, but tomorrow, the roads will be passable so I can get to work
with minimal hassle.

As for food today, I wasn't in the mood for anything breakfasty for
breakfast. As I looked through my food stock this morning, I found a
half used box of fish sticks, so I figured I should finish them off. I
heated those sticks of fish in the oven and while they were getting hot,
I make some home fried potatoes to go with the fish sticks. It was a
strange breakfast menu, but good.

For lunch, I just ate three pieces of gefilte fish, a few crackers, and
a bowl of chicken soup. I am baking a turkey breast now. The turkey
breast should be enough for three meals. I don't know what I will eat
with it yet though. It has another hour's worth of cooking, plus some
standing time before its ready for consumption.

I use weather as an excuse to catch up cooking for the freezer. Today's
blizzard is brought to us by...... a big vat of chili in the crockpot, beef
and shallot stew in my new dutch oven, mac and cheese, a loaf of
pumperknickel bread in the bread machine - and next up - 3 lbs of chicken
cutlets, for freezing plain cutlets and parmigiana.

I sure could have used the help. There was so much snow it took two
of us a solid hour of shoveling, and my lot is only 40' across (i.e.,
the sidewalk) and I park my car near the end of the driveway. Even
took 10 min to just clear off the car, the snow on it was so deep.

I would have settled for a delayed opening of work tomorrow morning,
but things have quieted down so much, that's not going to happen.

we have had over 20 inches of snow.

We had steel cut oats for breakfast. I have baked 5 loaves of various
grain sourdough breads and one of banana-apple-chocolate chip.

The ham will be out of the oven in about 15 minutes.There are green
beans ready and fingerling potatoes roasted with olive oil, garlic and
chives.

I am thankful for a snow plow, a husband and two teen age sons.

We got the slightest sprinkle of snow here near Atlanta. I made
chili in the crockpot today. It's our favorite food for bitter
weather. I hope everyone is safe and warm tonight.

Whenever a blizzard is forecast here, there's a mad run on the stores
for toilet paper, and milk. People stock up on the TP. Don't they
generally have a couple of days supply already?

I also think it's funny that they are at Home Depot looking to buy
shovels. How many people can there be without shovels for each storn?

I guess you don't want to hear that I routinely get five days off in a
row? Sometimes up to 9 if I work my 12 hour shifts at each end of a two
week period. I'd rather scratch my eyes out than work someplace 5 days a
week.

Terry, you are shameless and wicked. First you tempt me with butter laden
roast chicken, then with banana bread loaded with walnuts. Now you fling
warmth and sunshine at Sue.

I could have told her about spending two hours at the pool and spa in the
mid-80s this afternoon, followed by a lovely grilled meal eaten on the
patioi, but I'm not that mean! <vbg>

That's wonderful! I used to do 12 hour days from time to time, but I don't
think I could anymore. Now I work M-T-W and F from 8-4, and work at home
on Thursdays. That's a boon for me, since I have a minimum 1-1/2 hour
drive each way.

I've had a cold all weekend. DH actually went out and did the
shoveling, probalby because he knew if he didn't I would, and then
would be incapacitated and not cook.

Dinner was hamburger stew. lots of liquid, miso and adobo, frozen
veggies, and dried tomatoes. Came out kind of sour, but very tasty.

Standing over the stove with all that steam seems to have helped the
cold.

Our local school system, the one that never closes, is closed today.
Odd, because our street, that usually doesnt' get plowed until the
next day, was plowed twice yesterday, so I don't know why they didn't
have school.

Another couple of degrees and i'll head to Mom's to dig her house out.
Nothing like exercize to roust a cold and get those endorphins moving!

In the batter. I've done them two ways. One is to make pancake
batter as usual and then add small globs of leftover apple crisp (also
works with pumpkin pie). The other way is to add one envelope of
Apple Crisp oatmeal (Quaker brand) per 6 pancakes into the pancake
batter as it's being made, using a bit more milk because the oatmeal
soaks up the liquid.

Although I love plain buttermilk pancakes, I'm a pancake
experimentalist. Another version I tried yesterday was to add some
French vanilla granola to the pancakes after I poured them. It added
a nice crunch but next time I'll try it on plain pancakes as the
vanilla flavor overwhelmed the apple crisp.

Another favorite is banana chocolate chip. Make the pancake batter in
the blender, add a 'naner and whirl, pour batter onto griddle and
sprinkle with mini chips. Or walnuts. Or both.

The Second Avenue Deli is no more. ( Didn't you read the thread

I've often wondered who decided what is "breakfast food". I love having
bacon or sausage & eggs for dinner. Conversely, I'll often have a bowl of
soup for breakfast. Go figure

Look for "Do not eat for breakfast, etc." warning labels.

I had half a can of baked beans and two cups of decaf green tea and a
cookie sized hunk of 85% cocoa dark chocolate for breakfast.
