Yesterday we had our crafting group here, I was worried about the ice & snow, not wanting anyone to fall & damage themselves. The ice that had formed earlier in the week got covered by more snow on Thursday night. The snow seemed to hold some warmth against the ice so as the day progressed the ice was breaking down where it was thin enough. The ice didn't seem as slippery as I expected it would with the snow on it. Luckily!
One of the group has asked me to bake her mother a birthday cake, a Battenburg cake, so I experimented with the cake base yesterday & it worked well, now I have to experiment with the almond paste. I left the cake for the group to eat as I didn't want to be tempted by it, so it was all eaten - that was a good sign. Battenburg cake was new to them, so I'm introducing them to new things. We had a day class here & I made lunch and made them lentil soup which again seemed to be seen rarely. Yet I have it most of the time. Here the staple soup is seafood chowder.
But today we are back in blizzard mode. As I look out of the window here at my desk, the snow is blowing straight across, not coming down. It's cold outside too, there is a wind chill which drops the -4 to much lower. I know lots of folks have ot much colder than that, but that is cold enough. So many people we meet are ready to get rid of the winter, but there is at least another 5 or 6 weeks to go, then spring will suddenly arrive and bring all the early flowers, it is so worth the wait.
