It's a Snow Day! Well, not quite. It started to snow this morning, but the poor kids in the DC metro area only got about a 2 hour reprieve on school instead of a complete pardon. I on the other hand, just finished a contract job, have yet to start a new one, and am home to enjoy the pretty, chilly scene outside:
Those of you from states that actually get a good amount of snow are probably not too impressed with this little dusting. And really - this is about as much as we're going to get. It's already started to rain instead of snow and the newscasters are calling this "conversational snow".
But it is more than enough snow for me justify snuggling on the couch to finish an embroidery project AND to make a yummy, stick to your ribs, winter meal. I am trying to decide between cream of tomato soup, potato soup or spaghetti with a nice meaty bolognese. I'm leaning toward the potato soup as I have been on a quest for a few years to make the perfect potato soup. Something with a kick of flavor as potato soup can often be a little bland. Plus, I have all the makings for cornbread in the pantry which is the perfect addition to potato soup. This was one of my favorite meals that mom used to make on yucky days back when we were kids and I still love it! All right - I have a game plan. But I might have to venture out in the snow for a few ingredients. Oh who am I kidding? Most of it has already melted. Potato soup - it is on!
