it wasn't until we moved south of the mason dixon line that we heard the term "wintry mix". it makes our snow hardened northern hearts giggle. there are predictions of early morning flurries, turning to wintry mix in the afternoon. 20 minutes of the local news has already been dedicated to it. floods and devastation in the northwest, george bush performing yet another act of supreme idiocy, and we're talkin' wintry mix in charlottesville.
i can't wait.
speaking of snow, i was lead to this really cool design-a-snowflake-site through this really cool blog. after making way too many virtual snowflakes, tashi and i turned to good old fashioned paper flakes, two of which are displayed above.
blogland has been full of inspiration lately. i think i need to go into rehab for blog addiction.
this evening i was prompted by this hip blog to make chicken & dumplings for the first time ever. i used a different recipe however. and i improvised some on the martha recipe too. instead of carrots and peas i used potatoes and celery (because that's what i had). i also added garlic and a bay leaf. i used a little more chicken broth too. and i used chicken breasts instead of thighs. personally, i think it was probably better than martha's.
thanks for listening to my random. . .
