As luck would have it, only about four to five inches of snow fell over the evening hours rather than the 12 inches that were predicted. Surfaces were so warm that much of the wet snowfall melted before any accumulation could be seen this morning when I got up. With neighbor Randy’s John Deere taking the brunt of the accumulation, our wide pusher did the trick. It’s getting on supper hour and the concrete drive is totally cleared . . . I take that back, there is enough wind from the north for the last 20 feet of the driveway to be blown in.
I worked in the sewing studio for a bit this afternoon while Dennis took over the kitchen. A chicken marsala hot dish is ready to be popped into the oven. We really like the Classico flavored pasta sauces. Steaming some carrots to add to it should give it a great flavor boost. Dennis had caught a cake recipe on Facebook that he wanted to try. Before the kitchen aroma takes on the hot dish goodness, the chocolate cake takes center stage. It was a chocolate cake mix, dry chocolate instant pudding, sour cream and four eggs mixture. Time will tell on that. I can’t see how it could be anything but spectacular.
Yup . . . great local effort today.
