winter cookery.

it's snowing. again. another foot of snow is predicted by the end of the day tomorrow.

seriously. this is getting a bit ridiculous.

with all the snow and cold and stuff, i've been cooking things that only get cooked in winter. a chicken has been roasted, the meat is in the fridge, and stock is in the freezer (i put off writing the paper this time, so i actually got stock).

and now lasagne is in the oven. lasagne is one of those dishes that i really just can't cook in the summer. i don't know if it's the hour in the oven, or just the heaviness of the noodles and cheese. unfortunately, it means making it with dried herbs, but hey. nothing's perfect. i have my own meatless recipe that i made up a while ago. maybe i'll make this next time. if i can talk him into eating it.

snowmageddon.

12" saturday, then 21" wednesday. wow. haven't seen snow like this since i left mcgill. this is a zoomed-in picture of the golf from yesterday morning before we dug out. the antenna was almost completely engulfed.

it was nice having a couple days off... kind of like an extra weekend :) school was cancelled and i telecommuted to work.

guess i should do some homework anyway.

click the picture for my collection from the last 2 days. i got to play with the "snow" mode on my camera.

winter.

what the fucking fuck?

groundhog doesn't lie, i guess.

and i got the cars all dug out, too. i would probably love this if i didn't have a car, and a job, and wasn't in graduate school.

oh well. better get more firewood, i guess.
