It has been a very snowy week here in Northern Virginia! In the past, I've lived in NY & Michigan, so I know that in other parts of the country life goes on as usual when it snows, but here measurable accumulations of the white stuff are not common. So we make a big deal of it!
Before the storms arrived, my husband & I headed over to our Wegmans grocery store and stocked up on all kinds of good foods. And when the snow finally started falling, we were ready to cook as if it was a holiday. Hearty German dinners with spatzle and red cabbage came out of our kitchen--as did pots of tomato sauce with cheese ravioli and homemade meatballs. And there was chocolate...
I baked outrageously good Double-Chocolate Espresso Brownies. (Download My secret recipe)
While I was waiting for the plow to come, I also dove in and made a few snow angels! And I kept busy in my studio. I'll share some photos of what's on my workbench in my next post.
That's the scoop for now. I hope you're staying warm!
