it's supposed to hit about 3 this afternoon with 6 to 8 inches expected - living in the snow belt - that means well over a foot

leaves are on the trees - I don't like this one - I'm expecting no power again

Hope you dont loose your electric Mama.
Today it is 39 with constant pouring rain. I think a pot of soup is in order and some homemade bread.

Good minds think alike, janie! I simmered-up a pot of split pea soup w/ some ham hocks tonight at home. It really hit the spot and warmed the soul- not to mention the roof of my mouth! Then a l'il later when I called my sister she said she too had simmered a pot of homemade soup- she made chicken-veggetable for her kids. What did you end up making?

I made chicken and stars soup from RR's Comfort Foods cookbook.
I got the stuff at the store to make brownie biscotti today.

Isn't it terrible that snow has started a bit early, on the news last night they were showing New Jersey with snow. I love snow mainly because I was born in the Caribbean and Iam still amazed when I see snow falling, I begin to jump up like a child rushing to put my clothes on to play, now cleaning the snow is a different story, luckily our maintenance crew does all that before we awake, and of course there is an additional fee for that luxury, but its worth it.
