A few days ago, we had a winter storm warning and got the merest dusting of snow. Like not even enough to make good snowballs from.
So when we got another one for last night, we cancelled our going out plans, but didn’t really think much of it beyond that. And then we woke up to this-
Our current snow status- 4 inches or so, we think
Part of me is laughing evilly cause all those kids wanting snow days are SOL- it’s a holiday anyway, bahahahaHA.
In New Mexico, this means no going out, no food deliveries in. The temperatures are so low that we’ve kind of given ground on the rest of the house and are clustered into my office- fewest number of external walls, easier to heat than the rest of the place.
And lots of pups to snuggle down with in ALL the blankies
Luckily, I finally gave in and got myself a new Keurig, so there’s cocoa and tea and coffee, all wonderfully hot without Starbuckly assistance needed. I also accidentally got a package of bake and munch cinnamon rolls instead of crescent rolls when I went shopping last. And some spicy ground sausage, with a good cheddar already grated.
So this morning was Swiss Miss with a shot of Amarula, sausage cheesy poofs, and fresh baked cinnamon rolls.. not a bad way to start any day. In fact, I kind of highly recommend it. Come to think of it, kind of a good start to the year…
What I don’t highly recommend is random power blips, which started about an hour ago. Sad panda. Also feeling very bad for little Bree… while Zoe and Jaina will find spots on the patio to do their business when the weather’s like this, Bree insists on going out into the yard. I saw this little six inch tall corgi squatting to pee in a 4 inch high snowdrift. Yes, I gave her treats when she came in. Yes, she likes the snow in a general way; we went for a walk while the sun was out and she had a blast. She just gets cold easy, so we don’t overdo it.
Pretty sure Rick’s 5 day weekend is about to become a 6 day weekend.
Sausage Cheesy Poofs-
1 part sausage
1 part grated cheese
3/4 part Bisquick
Preheat oven to 350. Mix sausage and cheese with a hand or stand mixer. Once thoroughly blended, roll dough into balls and place on a cookie sheet/pizza pan/whatever. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown. Can be served with pancake syrup (maple or boysenberry are both good) if desired.
Yay for snow days.
