I made a mad dash to the herbs sitting outside my door last night as wet snow fell from the sky threatening to destroy their use in my kitchen. I'm happy to say they are safely tucked away until I have a chance to repot them for indoor use, but I still have to ask, wtf is with the snowfall?
Thankfully I awoke this morning to no signs of it, but feel poorly for the souls northeast of our city who got hit with an amazing 10-20 cm. yuck. too early man, way too early. I remember many a wet and cold Hallowe'en when I was a happy trick-o-treater, but there certainly wasn't any snow. Come on!
What I am enjoying with the new blustery weather is the heat from our wood stove and having my desire to make warm tasty treats return. I'll soon pop out to the local natural food shop to get the fixings for a delicious and hearty breakfast cereal. If you lived nearby, I'd invite you over for a bowl it's that good, but since you can't you can find the recipe below. If you're feeling the homemaker love too, you will want to check out this recipe for donut muffins and then let me know how it tastes...I plan on making mine this w/e. And while you're stuffing your face full of goodness and want something to inspire, check out my new photo find here.
Enjoy!

Kristen - Okay, I laughed when friends told me about Houston summer days! Well, I’m not laughing so much now. It’s been two years since we landed as legal aliens in Texas and let me tell you, the 98-110 degree for 182 days make me, ahhh - skinner.
Favorite summer words: Hot, colorful, humid, stormy storms, blissful, fun, blistering, sweaty, long, warm, heat, boiling, burning, sunny, sizzling, sexy, beer.
“Winter” (laughing) has arrived in the south; the frigid 45 F weather (7 C for my Canadian friends) and frost warning last night. I felt almost embarrassed for the local weather man describing how cold it will be. Hey pal, try Fort Nelson, BC in the middle of January.
Favorite winter words: Thank God I live in Texas!!
"Stormy storms" is very funny and Texas sounds just about right come February - hope you don't mind a few visitors.
BTW, what's with the American spelling dude?
When in Rome...
