Finally, the weatherman had us all hyped up for 8-10 inches of snow. No question about it, we would be snowed in - maybe for days! Snow began slowly early Thursday morning, then flakes began to get bigger and it piled up. I called Christie, she and Colby were staying in and Bill was on his way home. Called Dawn, she and Melissa were at home but Jim had left early for an appointment in Camdenton. He has always had nerves of steel when it came to driving on snow, so I was not surprised. Justin and Kasie were gone, but they are young and young folks don't think anything about getting out.
Then there was Rick and me. I put on clean pajamas and began to enjoy a day at home. We had eaten most of our popcorn the night before, so food was high on our priority list for the day. Stew seemed to be a good option and I began chopping vegetables and throwing them in the kettle, onions, celery, potatoes, corn, tomatoes & more of those wild turnips. Rick brought a pkg of deer burger up from the freezer and I browned it for stew meat. As the stew simmered on top of the stove, I baked a big pan of cornbread and a big pan of brownies. We ate well.
Thank goodness the snow only piled up to about three inches and I was able to work today. Another day of cooking like that would surely give us a tummy ache.
